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 applicationsSuperplast Universal Joints
