Principio de funcionamiento<\/h2>\n

Each universal joint uses a central cross supported by precision bearings inside yokes, allowing continuous torque transmission while the connected shafts operate at an angle. Intermediate tube sections transmit power between joints and may include telescopic features to accommodate length changes from thermal expansion or machine adjustments. Proper balancing ensures smooth, low-vibration operation that supports precise motion control in automated systems.<\/p>\n
