A Belden product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 12, 2007

Belden's QPL universal joints are designed and manufactured for applications including high-lift actuation and control mechanisms for aircraft.

Belden's universal joints and drive shaft assemblies include a full range of Qualified Parts Listing (QPL) universal joints for US government procurement and use in military personnel carriers, multi-role vehicles and aerospace applications.

The QPL universal joints are designed and 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 "approved brands list" or "Qualified Parts List" is a list of products that have successfully completed the formal qualification process that examines, tests and verifies that the product meets all the applicable requirements.

The heavy-duty MS 271 series Military Standard universal joints have successfully undergone the qualification and acceptance testing.

Stork-Herron Testing Labs performed incoming examination of MS series joints supplied by Belden.

The examination included verification of materials, construction, dimensions and identification of products.

The joints were certified to the requirements outlined in Military Specification MIL-DTL-6193D and accepted by the US Department of Defense.

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

The universal joints were also tested and certified for design and construction, which includes dimensions, assembly, hardness, finish and lubrication retaining covers.

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

The MS design that is mandated for all government/military and aerospace applications is also widely used in Formula One and Nascar racing.
