Spicer U Joints are engineered to deliver reliable torque transfer between angled shafts, and the 1350 Series is no exception. With a cap diameter of 1.188 inches, this U-joint fits perfectly into applications requiring robust strength and durability. The 3.625-inch width ensures a secure fit within the driveline, allowing for smooth operation even under heavy loads.
The inclusion of a lube fitting in the cross is a significant advantage. This feature allows for easy maintenance, enabling you to grease the joint without disassembly, which extends the service life of the component. Regular lubrication helps prevent wear and tear, ensuring consistent performance over time. Failure to maintain U-joints can lead to symptoms such as clunking noises, vibrations, or rust-colored dust around the caps, indicating that it’s time for a replacement.
When installing this U-joint, ensure that the snap rings are fully seated and check for any binding during operation. Avoid hammering the caps during installation to prevent damage. The Spicer 1350 Series U Joints are compatible with various applications, making them a versatile choice for fabrication shops and fleet technicians alike.
