Hydraulic Cylinder
Specializing in both custom-engineered solutions and standard hydraulic cylindersPlain bore yokes are essential components in mechanical power transmission systems, designed to connect shafts to universal joints or other coupling devices. These yokes feature a smooth, unthreaded bore that allows for precise mounting and alignment, ensuring efficient torque transfer and reduced vibration in various industrial applications. Made from high-strength materials, they offer durability and reliability in demanding environments.
Our plain bore yokes are engineered to meet strict industry standards, with detailed specifications provided below for easy reference.
Bore Diameter (inches) | Outside Diameter (inches) | Length (inches) | Weight (lbs) | Max Torque Capacity (lb-ft) |
---|---|---|---|---|
0.5 | 1.5 | 2.0 | 0.5 | 50 |
1.0 | 2.5 | 3.0 | 1.2 | 120 |
1.5 | 3.5 | 4.0 | 2.5 | 250 |
2.0 | 4.5 | 5.0 | 4.0 | 400 |
2.5 | 5.5 | 6.0 | 6.0 | 600 |
Plain bore yokes are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and agriculture. Common applications include drive shafts, conveyor systems, pumps, and heavy machinery, where they facilitate smooth power transmission and accommodate misalignments.
What is the primary function of a plain bore yoke?
The primary function is to connect a shaft to a universal joint, allowing for the transfer of torque while accommodating angular misalignment between components.
How do I select the right size plain bore yoke for my application?
Measure the shaft diameter accurately and refer to our dimensional table. Consider factors like torque requirements, operating environment, and material compatibility to ensure optimal performance.
Can plain bore yokes be used in high-speed applications?
Yes, but it depends on the balance and material. Our yokes are dynamically balanced for speeds up to 10,000 RPM, but always check the specifications for your specific model and application needs.
What maintenance is required for plain bore yokes?
Regular inspection for wear, corrosion, or damage is recommended. Lubrication may be needed depending on the joint type; follow the manufacturer's guidelines for intervals and lubricants.
Are there custom options available for plain bore yokes?
Yes, we offer customization in terms of bore size, material, and special coatings. Contact our support team with your requirements for a tailored solution.
How does a plain bore yoke differ from a splined yoke?
A plain bore yoke has a smooth, cylindrical bore for mounting, while a splined yoke features internal splines that engage with splines on the shaft, allowing for axial movement and higher torque capacity in some cases.
What industries commonly use plain bore yokes?
They are prevalent in automotive driveshafts, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, marine applications, and any system requiring reliable power transmission with minimal vibration.
How do I install a plain bore yoke properly?
Ensure the shaft and bore are clean and free of debris. Use appropriate tools for pressing or sliding the yoke onto the shaft, and secure it with set screws or keyways as per design. Always follow torque specifications for fasteners.
What are the signs of a failing plain bore yoke?
Common signs include unusual noises (e.g., clunking or grinding), vibration, visible wear or corrosion, and excessive play in the connection. Address these issues promptly to prevent system failure.
Can plain bore yokes be reused after removal?
It depends on the condition. If there is no significant wear, damage, or deformation, they can be reused. However, always inspect thoroughly and replace if any doubts arise about integrity.
