Apparatus for universal joint assembly

摘要

A novel apparatus for assembling universal joints formed by the connection of two shafts forked at their ends with a universal joint spider and having antifriction bearings arranged in opposite bores in the shaft forks for accommodating the spider trunnions by abutting against the end faces thereof in which the fork arms are supported at their free ends by holding clips or claws for absorbing the reaction force resulting from the pressing in or fixing force and/or for expansion by a predetermined amount relative to each other.
