Telescopic U-Joints
Our unique zero backlash telescopic universal joints feature precision balls, burnished custom spherical sockets, and accurately sized components that help eliminate clearance between bearing surfaces under an elastic preload. At full torque (up to 600 in-lbs.—varies by model), Ondrives.US telescoping shaft couplings provide zero backlash at operating angles up to 10°. At 50% torque, they operate with zero backlash at operating angles up to 30°.

Telescopic Universal Joint Size Options
Telescopic U-joints are available in a range of standard inch and metric bore sizes, from 3/16” to 1” and 5mm to 25mm. Any bore-to-bore combination is possible within those limits, which makes our zero backlash telescopic u-joints ideal for a wide range of applications.The Ondrives.US Advantage: Telescopic Universal Joint Couplings
Telescopic Universal Joints combine two single U-joints with precision telescoping tubes, functioning as a double joint at operating angles up to 90°. This design provides an effective solution for applications with extreme parallel misalignment, long axial distances, or continuous axial movement. Telescopic universal joint advantages include:- Zero backlash at varying torque loads
- Compensate for axial distance and parallel misalignment
- High RPM capability
- Flexible angular offset
- Precision construction
- Wide selection of sizes
- Custom configurations available
