This ar- rangement is mainly encountered on construction equipment with articulated steering. The centered double joint has the advantage of not requiring the support by an intermediate bearing. This results in lower installation times for the drive lines, and thus in cost savings. b) The second configuration consists of two Cen- tered Double Joints with length extension. Since the difference in an angle between both single joints is up to approximately 3 degrees, this configuration ensures almost uniform speed and torque trans- mittal. The difference in angle creates a fluctuation smaller than 0,0027, an amount, so small that it can be disregarded. To determine the amount of fluctua- tion, see Application Guidelines. The centred double joint consists of two fork parts, which incorporate a centering device en- closed in a rubber boot for protection against dirt and moisture. In this series, individual customer requirements are normally checked by the Elbe Technical Group. General technical data of series 0.300: Maximum angle of deflection: up to 42° Torque Range: up to 15200 Nm Flange Connection For more detailed information please refer to the datasheets which follow.
