The rotavator cross also known as a cross joint or universal joint—is a crucial mechanical component used in harvester, reaper, and thresher machines. Its primary function is to transmit rotational power between two shafts that are not in a straight line, allowing for smooth torque transfer even when the shafts are at an angle.
Features
:- Function: The rotavator cross connects the drive shaft to the gearbox or other moving parts, enabling flexible and efficient transmission of power. This is essential in agricultural machinery where components often move and operate at varying angles.
- Material: Typically constructed from high-strength steel or alloy for durability and resistance to wear, ensuring reliable operation in demanding field conditions.
- Design: Features a cross-shaped joint (universal joint) that allows for angular movement and absorbs shocks and vibrations, protecting the machinery from mechanical stress.
