Products classified under HTS 8483.90.80.40
Yoke for Heavy-Duty Universal Joint
A forged steel yoke designed as a key component for connecting shafts in universal joints, commonly used in automotive drivelines and industrial machinery. It falls under HTS 8483.90.8040 as a specific part of universal joints, enabling angular misalignment while transmitting torque. This part is presented separately and not assembled into a complete joint.
Cross Spider for Cardan Universal Joint
The central cross-shaped pivot component, typically made of hardened alloy steel, that allows multi-axis movement in Cardan-style universal joints for drivetrains. Classified under HTS 8483.90.8040 as a dedicated part of universal joints, essential for torque transmission across misaligned shafts. Used separately in repair kits for trucks and agricultural equipment.
Needle Bearing for Universal Joint
Precision needle roller bearings integrated into universal joint spiders to reduce friction and support high-speed rotation in driveline applications. Falls under HTS 8483.90.8040 specifically as parts of universal joints, distinguished from general housed bearings. Commonly replaced in PTO shafts for tractors and heavy machinery.
Universal Joint Slip Yoke
A splined slip yoke that allows axial movement in universal joint assemblies, typically steel-forged for driveline applications in trucks and off-road vehicles. Classified in HTS 8483.90.8040 as a part of universal joints due to its role in compensating for suspension travel. Supplied separately for aftermarket repairs.
Forged Steel Universal Joint Flange Yoke
Heavy-duty flange yoke with bolt holes for bolting to companion flanges in high-torque universal joint setups, used in industrial pumps and marine propulsion. HTS 8483.90.8040 applies as it is a presented-separately part integral to universal joint function. Precision machined for balance at high RPM.
Precision Snap Ring for Universal Joint
High-strength snap rings that retain bearings within universal joint spiders, made from spring steel for automotive and machinery applications. Classified under HTS 8483.90.8040 as essential retaining parts of universal joints. Sold separately in maintenance kits.
Alloy Steel Universal Joint Bearing Cap
Machined bearing caps that seal and secure needle bearings in universal joint yokes, critical for contamination protection in harsh environments. HTS 8483.90.8040 covers this as a distinct part of universal joints, used in construction equipment PTOs. Provided individually or in service kits.
Propeller Shaft Universal Joint Kit Spider
Replacement spider for propeller shaft universal joints in commercial trucks, featuring pre-greased bearings for easy service. Falls under HTS 8483.90.8040 as a universal joint part, though kits must be checked for set classification. Designed for high-mileage fleet maintenance.
Industrial Machinery Universal Joint Fork
Forked yoke component for heavy industrial universal joints in conveyor and mixer driveshafts, forged from high-tensile steel. Classified HTS 8483.90.8040 for its role as a separable part of universal joints accommodating misalignment. Used in food processing and mining equipment.
High-Speed Universal Joint Trunnion
Precision-ground trunnion pins forming the pivot axes in high-speed universal joints for turbine and compressor drives. HTS 8483.90.8040 applies as specialized parts enabling rotational freedom in misaligned high-RPM shafts. Machined for minimal vibration.
