Molded Universal Joints

Stock Drive Products pioneered the concept of combining the exceptional qualities of
selected plastic materials with different metals to create products which incorporate both.
SUPER-PLAST® designs have the following advantages:
1. Inexpensive replacement of metal components, particularly for low torque
applications.

2. As vibration dampers due to the resiliency of plastics used.

3. For drives used in corrosive environments or for chemical processing equipment.

4. For drives which have to be electrically insulated.

5. For domestic appliances and other intermittent duty applications.

The SDP line of molded Universal Joints is a valuable extension of the above capabilities,
and they are shown on the following pages:

The above products are available from stock in standard configurations as presented in
the catalog pages. They can also be manufactured to special requirements, with partial
modification of existing tools. These "specials" can consist of:
a) Bores molded to accommodate square, "D" shape or hexagonal shafts.

b) Shafts molded into the components themselves.

c) Zero backlash or components with built-in backlash.

d) Gears, pulleys or other components molded or assembled to couplings or

universal joints.

Please consult SDP Application Engineering for further details.
