Rzeppa Joint (Constant Velocity Joint) - Product Brief

Function:
A Rzeppa joint (also called ball-type CV joint) is a precision mechanical coupling designed to transmit torque at constant velocity while accommodating multi-angle misalignment (typically up to 45°-50°).

Key Features:
✔ True Constant Velocity – Maintains uniform output speed even at steep angles (critical for smooth drivetrain operation).
✔ High Torque Capacity – 6-8 precision steel balls distribute load evenly.
✔ Low Maintenance – Sealed with grease-filled boot for long service life.
✔ Robust Design – Forged alloy housing, hardened ball tracks.

Applications:
• Automotive: Drive shafts, wheel hubs (FWD/RWD/AWD vehicles).
• Industrial: Robotic arms, heavy machinery with articulated movement.
• Aerospace: Landing gear systems, actuator linkages.

Advantages vs. Universal Joints:
→ No speed fluctuation/vibration at angles (U-joints cause harmonic distortion).
→ Compact size with higher angular capacity.

Technical Specs (Example):
• Max. Torque: 500-5,000 Nm (customizable)
• Operating Angle: 0°-50° (dynamic), up to 60° (static)
• Speed: ≤3,000 RPM (standard)
• Materials: Case-hardened steel/PTFE-coated balls

Custom Options:

• High-temperature boots (silicone for 150°C+ environments).

• Corrosion-resistant coatings (for marine/off-road use).

• Integrated sensors (IoT-enabled torque/angle monitoring).
