A Universal Joint is a mechanical connection between two rotating shafts that intersect. We offer a wide selection of both metal and plastic universal joints in inch and metric sizes to fit your application.
SUPER-PLAST®
Stock Drive Products pioneered the concept of combining selected plastic materials with different metals to create products which incorporate both; the result was SUPER-PLAST®. SUPER-PLAST® designs have the following advantages:
- Inexpensive replacement of metal components, particularly for low torque applications
- Dampens vibration due to the resiliency of plastics used
- For drives used in corrosive environments or for chemical processing equipment
- For drives which have to be electrically insulated
- For intermittent duty applications
