How to find the right universal joint in 7 steps

This is helpful for the selection because not only product data but also the decision framework is provided. That is precisely what makes the catalog valuable in practice when you want to reach the right solution quickly and cleanly.

What does the new universal joint catalog 2026/27 offer?

RINGSPANN Kempf presents a new universal joint catalog as part of the ongoing product offensive. The 40-page work conveys basic knowledge on the use of these machine elements and provides an overview of the company's current portfolio.

What I especially like is the practical focus: instead of just listing products, the catalog combines technical data with a concrete selection guide. In this way a brochure becomes a tool for daily work in design and procurement.

How does the seven-step selection guide lead to the right solution?

The highlight of the catalog is a seven-step checklist that guides designers and purchasers purposefully to the ideal universal joint. For readers, that means less searching, more orientation, and a clearer basis for comparing suitable variants.

1. Build basic knowledge on the use of the universal joint
2. Clarify requirements for your own application
3. Narrow down suitable variants in the portfolio
4. Use technical tables as a decision aid
5. Compare performance data with the application case
6. Systematically check the selection with the checklist
7. Arrive at the ideal universal joint

Why are the new performance data important?

All technical tables include newly calculated performance data. This provides more leeway in product selection because decisions can be based on current values. This is especially valuable for technical teams when several options are in play and fine-tuning counts.

How does this fit with RINGSPANN's work?

RINGSPANN AG is broadly positioned in drive technology and offers not only universal joints but also drive components, remote actuators, and clamping technology. This aligns with the standard to provide not only individual products but also guidance and technical documentation.

From our experience, when product program and selection guide come together, inquiries to the manufacturer become clearly more precise. That saves time on both sides and increases the chance that the first solution is already very close to the need.
