Universal joint for Lorain LRT SERIE 445

The universal joint, part number 211495, serves as a mechanical link within the power transmission system of heavy machinery. Its primary function is to transmit torque and rotational motion between two shafts that are not coaxially aligned, allowing for angular displacement during operation. This component accommodates the movement and vibration inherent in crane drivetrains, maintaining a continuous flow of power from the transmission to the operational mechanisms.

This component is designed for fitment in Lorain LRT 400 and LRT Serie 445 rough-terrain cranes. It is engineered to meet the specific spatial and mechanical requirements of these models, ensuring proper integration into the existing drivetrain assembly. By maintaining the correct angular alignment, this joint supports the mobility and operational integrity of the crane.

Universal joints typically consist of two yokes connected by a central spider equipped with needle bearings. These bearings enable the necessary angular movement while the spider maintains the connection between the yokes. The compact design of this specific unit is optimized for the limited space within the drivetrain of the specified Lorain models. Regular inspection of the joint for play or seal damage is recommended to ensure the continued efficiency of the transmission system.
