It has the characteristics of large angle compensation ability, large load-bearing capacity, high transmission efficiency, stable transportation, low noise, easy disassembly and maintenance, etc. It is often used to connect two shafts (driving shaft and driven shaft) in different mechanisms so that they rotate together to transmit torque. At the same time, it has the function of compensating for the axial, angular and radial offsets between the driving shaft and the driven shaft caused by manufacturing errors, installation errors, load deformation and temperature changes. The traditional cross-axis universal coupling is mainly composed of flange fork, cross bag assembly, spline shaft assembly, spline sub-assembly, etc. The flange fork and the spline shaft assembly are assembled with the cross bag assembly as one side of the universal shaft, and the components on the other side are flange fork, cross bag assembly and spline sub-assembly.
