Universal Joints – Double Joint Needle Bearings

At BEP Ltd, we supply high-performance double joint needle bearings designed for precision, reliability, and smooth motion transfer. Unlike basic friction bearing joints, these advanced needles bearing universal joints minimize friction and torque variation even under continuous high-speed operation.

Engineered for sensitive applications such as automation, robotics, and instrumentation, these joints maintain stability at working angles of up to 45° while offering exceptional durability. With options for rebuildable designs and protective boots for harsh conditions, our joint bearings provide a long service life with minimal maintenance.

Key Features of Our Double Joint Needle Bearings

• Low Friction & High Efficiency – Needle bearings reduce torque loss compared to friction-based joint ball bearings.
• Smooth Power Transmission – Maintains consistent motion at higher RPMs and larger working angles.
• Extended Lifespan – Designed for continuous operations without frequent lubrication needs.
• Versatile Bore Options – Available in plain bore, square bore, and keyway hub ends.
• Durability in Harsh Environments – Protective boot coverings recommended for dusty, gaseous, or abrasive conditions.
• Rebuildable Design – Worn-out joints can be serviced and rebuilt for cost savings.
