SPL® 350 U-Joint Puts the Life into Downspeeding Applications

While engine downspeeding offers increased
fuel economy and decreased emissions, thefaster axle ratios needed to accommodate thelower RPMs result in additional torque in thedrivetrain, placing much higher stresses on themain driveshaft, axles, and inter-axle shaft.

Faster Axle Ratios = More Driveline Torque2.26 RAR

Maximum Driveline
Torque (Nm)

The movement toward engine downspeeding
has been accelerating since the first fuelefficiency standards for new heavy-duty trucks
were issued, and these efforts have intensified
as OEMs and fleet managers continue todemand maximum vehicle performance.

Features and Options

Optional permanently
lubricated u-joint withextended warranty
requires no lubrication
for the life of the product.

Permanently lubricatedslip spline protects against
contaminants and eliminates
maintenance.

U-joints areengineered toextend bearing life
and offer superior
performance.

Increased tube diameter anddecreased wall thickness offer
greater strength without the weight,
enabling greater load capacity.
