Manufacturer profiles associated with Cross/Yoke Assembly.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The materials on file include alloy steel and case-hardened steel, with a material grade example of 20CrMnTi per GB/T 3077. The specific material grade should be confirmed with the manufacturer for the intended application.
The reference range for the maximum operating angle is 15 to 45 degrees. Exceeding this range may cause vibration and wear. The exact limit depends on the specific model and must be verified with the supplier.
The rated torque is based on shaft diameter and material, with a reference range of 500 to 2000 N·m. It is a procurement reference; the actual rating for a specific assembly must be confirmed with the manufacturer.
Signs of excessive vibration, unusual wear on the trunnions or bearings, or seal degradation may indicate issues. Operating beyond the specified angle or speed limits can also lead to premature failure. Regular inspection and adherence to specifications are recommended.
