Competitively priced
“With high-efficiency truck configurations placing increased stress on drivelines, and downspeeding generating higher torque stresses on the drivetrain, I need u-joints that are up to the challenge.”
Fatigue tests prove that Spicer® commercial vehicle u-joints consistently outperform the competition, delivering maximum lifetime and minimal downtime.
Spicer® commercial vehicle u-joints are engineered to ensure peak performance. On the road or in the lab, they consistently outperform the competition. Experience the Spicer advantages:
When it’s your commercial vehicle—and your livelihood—on the line, don’t trust anything less than genuine Spicer u-joints!
No other u-joints are better equipped to meet the needs of today’s high-efficiency trucks than Genuine Spicer Life Series® (SPL®) u-joints. These u-joints are designed to withstand the increased stress that high-efficiency truck configurations place on the driveline. Plus, they’re equipped with High Power Density™ (HPD™) features that extend product life and outperform the competition.
While engine downspeeding offers increased fuel economy and decreased emissions, the faster axle ratios needed to accommodate the lower RPMs result in additional torque in the drivetrain, placing much higher stresses on the main driveshaft, axles, and inter-axle shaft.
The right driveshaft and inter-axle shafts with robust and durable components from Spicer can reliably handle the added input torque. Spicer Life Series u-joints—in particular, the SPL® 350 series—are engineered, tested, and proven to meet today’s torque demands: their exclusive design accommodates faster axle ratios without sacrificing u-joint life.
Spicer Life Series u-joints performed more than 2X better than the closest competitor!
When lubricated-for-life u-joints are required, SPL 140, SPL 170, SPL 250, and SPL 350 universal joints are available in service-free* options! Permanently lubricated u-joints help keep your overall operation costs low while still offering the durability and dependability you expect from Spicer. Service-free options are ideal for heavy-haul applications and are capable of meeting the requirements of future fast-axle ratios.
* Inspections must be performed at recommended intervals to check for wear, damage, or looseness that could affect lubricant life and lead to driveline failure.
Spicer® 10 Series u-joints are completely interchangeable with existing parts, so you get total product compatibility with no change in part numbers.
Spicer® 10 Series u-joints are created through the combination of a computer-designed bearing plate with a patented manufacturing process that closely controls tolerances.
When it comes to torsional fatigue capability, the competition can’t touch the Spicer® 10 Series u-joint. These u-joints are consistently stronger, helping to ensure longer life and better performance. Zerks are positioned at 180°, so lubrication can be done without rotating the driveshaft. You save maintenance time and costs!
Spicer 10 Series u-joints performed more than 5X better than the closest competitor!
