THE APEX ToTAl SolUTioN DESiGNED iNTo EVEry UNiVErSAl JoiNT
The illustration below highlights many of the common design features that have made Apex the Market Leader in providing “less downtime, more
lifetime” for some of the most demanding applications. At the heart of this success is engineering excellence that created and continues to refine
this design to meet the ever increasing challenges of new applications. To further compliment this, add Apex’s manufacturing capabilities and its
proprietary heat-treat processes. The result is a “balanced” design that provides the highest strength-to-weight ratio pin and cube universal joint
available. It is not uncommon for Apex to outperform the competition by at least 30% in strength for equivalent size products.
PErforMANcE
fEATUrES:
■ Efficient operation up to
35°standard (higher operating
angles available)
■ Designed-in overload
capacity for greater reliability.
(Temporary torsional overloads
up to 80% and axial overloads
up to 150% of the rated
ultimate capacity can occur
without harmful binding.)
■ Advanced heat treat of alloy
steel maximizes “toughness”
■ Available with covers that
seal in lubrication and greatly
improve service life.
Interchangeability
We offer a wide variety of hub configurations
(bore, keyway, hex, spline, square, threads) to
meet your requirements.
Drive pins (main pin and bushings)
Heat treated allot steel, precision ground for
minimum backlash and long service life.
Designed for balanced strength with earform.
Earform geometry
Designed, developed, and tested for “balanced
design” load carrying capability.
Cube
Heat treated alloy steel,
precision machined to minimize
backlash, side play, and endplay
of the assembly. Geometric
contol assures smooth operation.
Cross pin
Strengthens the assembly during intermittent
overload or severe bending conditions.
APEX design engineers utilize 3-D solid models and
finite element analysis (FEA) to develop and evaluate
different design options.
When you bring your applications to APEX, you will be supported by a
technical staff that has decades of experience in performing Finite
Element Analysis (FEA), 3-D Solid Modeling, Metallurgical analysis, nondestructive testing, functional testing, and prototype production.
