Universal Lateral & Cross Joint Couplings
Universal lateral offset couplings and cross joint couplings provide the flexibility needed to handle shaft misalignment and reduce shaft stress and bearing loads. Offset couplings are specially engineered for light push-pull duties and can anchor unrestricted shafts. Universal lateral offset couplings & cross joint couplings are ideal for use with encoders, resolvers, light-duty steppers, dosing pumps, small positioning slides, light-duty drives, and numerous other applications.
Versatile, High-Performance Unilateral & Cross Joint Couplings
Ondrives.US is a shaft coupling supplier that designs and manufactures some of the industry’s best-performing, most reliable shaft couplings. Our Universal-Lateral and Cross Joint offset couplings are unique, light-duty devices for general purpose applications. Offset couplings provide zero backlash operation and torque output up to 108 in-lbs.Our unilateral couplings & cross joint offset couplings provide resistance free angular and radial compensation. They combine the pivotal action of a universal joint and the sliding action of a sliding disc coupler. Together, these two factors allow the devices to overcome both radial and angular misalignment. By design, they restrict any axial movement.

Universal Lateral Offset Couplings
Universal lateral offset couplings are 50% shorter than bellows couplings and provide axial stiffness to transmit light push-pull loads. This couplings style allows for angular and radial misalignment and provides flex-free mechanical action for low bearing loads.Benefits of universal lateral offset couplings include low inertia, zero backlash operation, and electrical isolation. We offer inch and metric universal lateral offset couplings with set screw hubs or clamp hubs. These offset couplings should not be used in pairs.
Cross Joint Couplings
Cross joint couplings are flexible metal couplings with identical clockwise and counterclockwise rotational characteristics. These couplings feature a cap screw fixing and a high precision fit of pin and bushing to provide zero backlash operation.
Benefits and features of cross joint couplings include high torque and static torsional stiffness, excellent vibration absorption, and small eccentric reaction force to reduce shaft and bearing load. We offer cross joint metal couplings in inch or metric bore sizes with a cap screw fixing. These offset couplings should not be used in pairs.
