Universal Joints (U-joints) & Drive Shafts
Universal joint (U-joint) driveshafts provide a cost effective means to
transmit power from the power source to the driven machine. Installation
time is reduced as the need for critical alignment tolerances required
by other types of couplings is eliminated. The telescopic feature
eliminates the need for movement of machinery for installation
or maintenance removal. The telescopic feature also allows motion
during operation or no-load conditions.
SAE Industrial Universal Joints (Spicer)
All Power SAE Industrial Universal Joints (U-joints) also known as Spicer® series
are in common usage on over the road vehicles, industrial and off
highway applications. They are designed for long life at moderate
torque levels though they are capable of withstanding high momentary
torques such as those encountered in starting a load or a vehicle
moving. They tend to be the most economical solution for applications
where minimum swing diameters are not a requirement.

Metric Universal Joints (U-Joints) (DIN)
All Power Metric Universal Joints (U-joints) are in common usage on industrial
and off highway machinery imported from Europe. Most recently they
have found their way on to equipment made in America to world standards.
They are designed for long life at moderately high torques. They
can interchange with popular German and Italian universal joint
manufacturers. They are an excellent choice for new and replacement
applications where high torque is desired within a minimum space.

APTD (formerly Twin Disc)
All Power purchased the former Twin Disc “J line” of
universal joints (U-joints) in March 2000 from Twin Disc. Renamed APTD it
consists of sizes from J170 through J1200. All Power has revived
this rugged long life design retaining its well-known features
and adding much needed design improvements. Designed for long life
at moderately high torques, they are used on industrial and off
highway applications. They are an excellent choice for new and
replacement applications where high torque is desired and serviceability
and/or minimum length is a major consideration.

Rockford Powertrain Universal Joints (Borg Warner-Mechanics)
All Power is an authorized distributor of the Rockford Powertrain
universal joint product line. Similar in construction to the APTD
J-line, they are designed for long life at moderately high torques.
They are used on industrial and off highway applications. They
are an excellent choice for new and replacement applications where
high torque is desired and serviceability and/or minimum length
is a major consideration.

Companion Flanges
Nearly all industrial driveshafts are connected to machinery via
companion flanges. All Power can supply standard and special companion
flanges for our complete line of universal joints (U-joints) plus those manufactured
by others. In addition to the typical bore and keyed designs companion
flanges can be supplied with spline bores, flatted bores, polygon
bores etc. For high capacity or high wear applications All Power
companion flanges can be supplied with heat-treated alloys and
carburized or nitrided bores.
