Universal joints are fit for military duties

Military certified universal joints can be used in auto racing/gear change linkage, military personnel carriers and aerospace applications.

Belden's line of universal joints and shaft assemblies includes a full range of military certified universal joints used in auto racing/gear change linkage, military personnel carriers and aerospace applications.

These universal joints are specifically designed and precisely manufactured for a variety of applications including high lift actuation and control mechanisms for aircraft where low deflection rates, high strength to weight ratios and long service life are essential.

The heavy-duty MS 271 military standard universal joints have undergone qualification and acceptance testing by a testing lab and the United States Department of Defense.

The MS joints meet or exceed the requirements of US military specification MIL-J-6193.

To qualify the universal joints, a variety of extensive and rigorous testing was completed.

Reaction frames were designed and fabricated to perform torsional play, tightness, static torque, endurance and lubrication retention tests.

The Belden military standard universal joint is manufactured to withstand the most demanding operating conditions, harsh working environments and requires little maintenance in the field.

The Belden MS series of universal joints have become the industry standard.

The MS design that is mandated for all government/military and aerospace applications is also used in performance and NASCAR racing.

The military standard joint's high strength pin and block design can be modified into various materials such as aircraft 17-5 and 15-5 and marine grade 316 and 316L stainless steel to outperform other pin and block style universal joints in extreme corrosive environments.
