The permissible maximum speeds depend on the deflection angle and the load, however, they should not exceed 500 rpm. We strongly recommend to consult our Technical Advice Service in cases of uncertainty. Unlike cardan joints, ball and socket joints cannot be exposed to axial stress. To ensure trouble-free operation, the joints must always be sufficiently lubricated. This may also be done by means of bellows with grease or oil filling. Further information on the use of ball and socket joints and shafts can be found under „Information on the use” in the Technical Annex, chapter 8. Page 146 provides information on surface refine- ment processes.
