AI Technical Summary
Traditional universal joints suffer from insufficient lubrication during use, leading to severe wear on components such as the pivot and universal joint fork, shortening their service life and affecting transmission efficiency and stability.
The design employs a ball bearing assembly and an elastic component. The balls roll within the slot and are supported by the elastic component, reducing wear. A limit plate and a return spring ensure that the balls do not deviate, achieving a stable connection of the steering knuckle.
It effectively reduces wear, increases the service life and transmission efficiency of universal joints, and enhances stability.
