SS universal joints made for harsh environments
A range of stainless steel universal joints have AISI 303 stainless steel yokes and AISI 416 steel pins and blocks to provide higher strength and improved wear resistance.
Originally developed in 303 stainless steel for a manually operated minimal invasive surgical instrument, the miniature joints are also available in various grades of stainless steel and alloy heat-treated steel.
The standard version has an operational angle of deflection of up to 35 deg.
On request, Belden can develop modified versions with a higher angle of deflection or double universal joint assemblies.
