Splined Yoke 04 – With Ball Attachment

The Splined Yoke 04 – With Ball Attachment is a precision-machined PTO shaft end yoke featuring an integrated ball attachment for constant-velocity (CV) joint connections, enabling smooth power transfer at higher operating angles. Engineered from forged alloy steel with splined bore connection, it provides a secure, high-torque interface between the PTO shaft and universal joint assembly. Available in multiple series to fit standard agricultural and industrial drivelines, this yoke is CNC-machined, heat-treated, and surface-coated for continuous field operation. Supplied by Ever-power with ISO 9001:2015 quality assurance and global shipping.

Splined Yoke 04 Ball Attachment – Wide-Angle CV Joint Splined PTO Yoke

Integrated ball coupling | CV joint compatible | Up to 80° angle | Φ13 & Φ16 balls

Splined yoke for PTO shaft

The Ever-power Splined Yoke 04 is engineered with an integrated ball coupling that connects to constant-velocity (CV) joint housings, enabling smooth power transmission at operating angles up to 80° — far beyond the 25° limit of conventional universal joints. The precision-ground ball surface mates with a matching cup in the CV housing, maintaining constant rotational speed regardless of angularity.

⭐ Key Features & Benefits

🔴

Integrated Ball Coupling

Factory-fitted precision ball enables direct connection to CV joint housings for wide-angle operation.

🔄

80° Operating Angle

Supports angles up to 80° — essential for implements with large vertical or horizontal offset.

💪

Ground & Hardened Ball

Ball surface ground to Ra 0.4 µm and hardened to 60 HRC for smooth articulation and minimal wear.

⚙️

Φ13 and Φ16 Ball Sizes

Two ball diameters cover Series 1–6 (Φ13) and Series 7–8 (Φ16) for comprehensive range.

🔄 Compatibility Information

Specifically designed for constant-velocity (CV) joint drivelines and wide-angle joint assemblies. Pairs with CV housings from Walterscheid W2300/W2400, Bondioli & Pavesi SFT series, Comer W-series, and Ever-power CV kits. Essential for front-mounted implements (snow blowers, front mowers), articulated trailers, steep-terrain machinery, and any application where the driveline must operate at angles exceeding 25°.

📚 Selection Guide

Step 1: Confirm your driveline uses a CV (constant velocity) joint rather than a standard U-joint.
Step 2: Identify the ball diameter required (Φ13 or Φ16) by checking your existing CV housing cup size.
Step 3: Match the spline pattern (B or D suffix) and series number to the specification table.
Step 4: Ensure the CV housing and ball yoke are from the same series to guarantee dimensional compatibility.

PTO end yokes

🌾 Typical Application Scenarios

🌿 Front-Mounted Snow Blowers

Large angular offset between tractor front PTO and snow blower gearbox demands CV-capable yokes.

⚙️ Articulated Trailer PTO Drives

Constant-velocity transmission required as the trailer articulates through turns.

💾 Steep-Terrain Vineyard Equipment

Hillside grape harvesters operating at extreme chassis angles need CV joints to maintain smooth power.

🌾 Front Mowers & Flail Heads

Tractor front-linkage mowers require wide-angle PTO connections for safe, vibration-free cutting.

🛠️ Installation & Usage Guide

1

Inspect the CV housing cup for scoring or wear — a damaged cup will accelerate ball wear.

2

Apply CV joint grease (typically molybdenum disulfide based) liberally to the ball surface.

3

Insert the ball into the CV housing cup and rotate to confirm smooth, snag-free articulation.

4

Slide the splined end of the yoke onto the PTO shaft and engage the retention mechanism (push pin or bolt as applicable).

5

Pack the CV boot with the recommended grease volume and secure the boot clamps.

6

Test the driveline through its full range of articulation at low RPM before operating under load.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

▶ What is a ball attachment yoke?
A splined yoke with an integrated precision ball that connects to a CV joint housing for constant-velocity power transfer at high angles.
▶ How does a CV joint differ from a U-joint?
A CV joint maintains constant rotational speed at high angles; a U-joint introduces speed fluctuation (homokinetic error) beyond ~25°.
▶ Can I use a ball yoke with a standard cross kit?
No — the ball end connects exclusively to a CV housing. The spline end connects to the PTO shaft.
▶ What grease should I use for the ball joint?
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) CV joint grease, typically NLGI #1 or #2 consistency.
▶ Are Φ13 and Φ16 interchangeable?
No. Ball size must match the CV housing cup diameter exactly.
▶ Maximum RPM at full angle?
540 RPM at up to 80°; 1000 RPM at up to 55° for extended service life.

⭐ Customer Reviews

★★★★★

Fitted to our front-mounted slasher on a CLAAS tractor. The ball joint handles the steep angle beautifully — zero vibration even at full deflection.

— 🇦🇺 Australia

★★★★★

We OEM these into our CV driveline assemblies. Ball surface finish is consistently excellent — CMM results within spec every batch.

— 🇩🇪 Germany

★★★★☆

Good product for our vineyard harvester. CV operation is smooth on Burgundy hillsides. Grease retention could be slightly better.

— 🇫🇷 France

★★★★★

Our articulated trailer PTO drive runs flawlessly with the 04 ball yoke. No speed fluctuation through sharp turns.

— 🇮🇳 India

★★★★★

Essential for our front-mount snow blower in Minnesota. Conventional U-joints couldn’t handle the angle — the 04 solved it completely.

— 🇺🇸 United States
