Telescopic Universal Joint

Telescopic universal joints or drive shafts incorporate a flexible center section, allowing the shaft length to vary.

This adjustable element facilitates easy installation and compensates for axial play.

They are ideal for applications where both parallel and angular misalignment.

At the same time, the axial displacement is present.

They enable quick, simple repositioning of the motor or load, outperforming rigid two-joint shafts.

Telescopic driveshafts are essential in applications requiring length adjustments during operation, as one or both ends may move.

Depending on the specific application and environment, various profiles can suit the center sliding feature.

This design involves a square or hex shaft on one side with a mating hub on the other. That will offer robustness and cost-efficiency.

For higher precision and torque capacity, parallel-sided splines or shafts with multiple keys are preferable.

In extreme cases, angled or involute spline profiles are available, though they need a higher cost.
