Product Overview
GU3840 universal joint are used to VOLVO,SCANIA, YOUNG MAN,VOLVO,FORD, KIA,IVECO, MERCEDES, DAF, RENAUT, RABA, NEOPLAN, TEC, SMB, RVI, FLAT, SPICER, EATON, UNIVERSAL, TOYOTA, HINO, NISSAN, MITSUBISHI, ISUZU and so on.
Key Benefits
- Joints are listed by cup diameter and overall length so an existing cross can be measured and matched, with stock held on the common sizes.
- Dimensions, material, cage and precision class are confirmed in writing before the order is placed.
- Stock and produced lines are quoted separately so a shutdown can be planned around real dates.
- Non standard sizes can be made to drawing, so a fixed machine envelope is not a dead end.
Who It Is For
Truck driveline workshops and commercial vehicle part distributors.
Problems It Solves
Cross assemblies are vehicle specific, and matching cup diameter with overall length across mixed European and Asian fleets is the usual sourcing problem.

Rings are formed and soft turned to the ring geometry.
Heat Treatment
Through hardening or carburising to the working hardness range.
Grinding And Honing
Raceways and faces ground to the tolerance class ordered.
Assembly And Preservation
Rolling elements and cage assembled, then preserved and packed.
Quality Control
What Is Checked
- Bore, outside diameter and width against the tolerance class ordered
- Radial and axial runout on the finished assembly
- Hardness and surface finish after grinding
- Internal clearance and rotation check before preservation
Certifications. Production runs in strict accordance with the ISO9001:2008 standard. Certificate copies for a specific consignment are issued with the shipping documents on request.

Use Guide
Fitting And Service Notes
- Check the shaft and housing seats for size, roundness and damage before opening the packaging.
- Push mounting force through the ring that carries the interference fit, never through the rolling elements.
- Where heat mounting is used, keep the bearing below roughly 120 degrees Celsius and never apply a flame.
- Set clearance or preload as the machine drawing specifies, then fill with the specified lubricant.
- Turn the assembly by hand and listen before the machine is started.
