SolUTioNS for yoUr STANDArD
or cUSToM APPlicATioN
■ coVEr STylES:
Bulbous, flat, and convoluted.
■ lUBricANTS:
If your application calls for something other than our standard 300 or
400 series universal joints, APEX can provide it for you. Our engineers
are ready to solve your application problems.
High pressure gear oil, “natural” grease, synthetic grease, synthetic
grease with additives (improves “dry start” characteristics), nonoutgassing grease, food grade grease, graphite powder, and solid film
lubricant.
Some of the options available are:
■ GEoMETry:
■ UNiVErSAl JoiNT
coNfiGUrATioNS:
In addition to the standard plain bearing design, there is also a “Press
Fit” design which improves fatigue life in reverse loading applications.
For higher RPMs, we offer a needle bearing line.
Square, Hex, Threaded, splines (involute
or straightsided), gears, split collar with
lug bolt, keyways, precision diameters
(.0002”), gears, whistle-notch, and
quickrelease. Where applicable, these are
available in male or female.
■ MATEriAlS:
Alloy steels (4140, 4150, 4340), Austenitic stainless steel (303, 304, 316,
Nitronic 60), Martensitic stainless steel (416, 440C, 13-8, 17-4, 15-5),
carbon steel (1020, 8620) and specialty steels (such as Stressproof and
S-2 Modified).
■ BEAriNGS:
APEX utilizes plain, rolling element and polymer bearings in its designs.
Selecting the right bearing maximizes the performance the universal
joint, minimizes/eliminates maintenance, and increases the life of the
universal joint.
■ HEAT TrEATMENT:
Advanced heat treat, selective through hardening, induction hardening,
and case hardening.
■ SUrfAcE TrEATMENT:
Light oil, cadmium (electrolytic and vacuum), electrolytic zinc, nickel
(electrolytic and electroless), black oxide, phosphate (manganese and
zinc), solid film lubricant, and a variety of paint solutions.
Additionally, multiple features can be combined on the same hub.
APEX engineers utilize these options daily to design the product right
for your needs. From extreme loading (including seismic) to harsh
environments (-80˚ to 600˚ F), APEX is your Total Solution Source.
