Application Ideas and Considerations
High Angle Applications
- Where shaft angles are greater than 10 degrees
- Where the (speed x angle) relationship exceeds 14,000
Non Parallel shaft applications
- Use to transmit torque at constant velocity through only one coupling at an angle

- Use to transmit torque at constant velocity through 2 couplings and a connecting shaft with unequal or varying angles without the need for phased coupling connections

Axial load transfer applications
- Suspend rotating loads through the coupling and still provide full articulation

- Transmit rotating thrust load component through the coupling at an angle

- Transfer motion at 90 degrees at 1:1 constant velocity ratio without sliding losses

Constant velocity requirements
- True constant velocity of the rotating output shaft providing benefits in:
- Overall minimal vibration disturbances to the drivetrain system
- no inertial excitations from non constant velocity components
- no induced torsional excitation loads transferred to the system
- reduced secondary couple loading on supporting bearing structures.
- reducing energy consumption
