UDS UJ68720 Universal Joint is engineered to handle torque transfer between angled shafts effectively. With a cap diameter of 1.188 inches, this joint fits snugly into the corresponding yokes, ensuring a secure connection that minimizes play and enhances driveline efficiency. The overall width of 3.220 inches is critical for compatibility with various applications, particularly in the 68720 Series, which is known for its robustness in demanding environments.
This joint is greaseable, allowing for regular maintenance that can significantly extend its service life. Unlike sealed joints, which are low-maintenance but not rebuildable, the greaseable design enables you to keep the joint lubricated, reducing wear and preventing failure. Symptoms of failure include clunking noises, vibrations, and rust-colored dust around the caps, which indicate that it’s time for inspection or replacement.
When installing the UJ68720, ensure that there is no binding and verify that the snap rings are fully seated. Avoid hammering the caps during installation, as this can lead to misalignment and premature wear. Here are some key points to remember:
- Cap Diameter: 1.188 inches
- Width: 3.220 inches
- Greaseable design for extended life
- Fits 68720 Series applications
- Inspect for rust or dust around caps
In summary, the UDS UJ68720 Universal Joint is a reliable choice for any driveline application requiring a durable and maintainable connection.
