Cross Holder (Round with diameter: 145, Height: 106) — for Tata Ace / Super Ace Driveshaft
A Cross Holder is a propeller shaft / driveline component used in vehicles like the Tata Ace Super and similar light commercial vehicles.
What it is and where it fits:
It is a mounting flange or support for a Universal Joint (UJ) Cross Bearing in the propeller shaft assembly.
The cross holder sits between the driveshaft yokes and holds the UJ cross (universal joint cross) in place, allowing the shafts to articulate while transmitting torque.
Function:
Supports the Universal Joint: It securely holds the universal joint cross at a precise position where two shaft segments connect.
Enables angular movement: As the driveline moves due to suspension travel or vehicle load changes, the holder ensures the universal joint can pivot smoothly.
Maintains torque transfer: By stabilizing the U-joint assembly, it ensures effective transmission of rotational torque from the transmission/propeller shaft to the differential.
Typical Build:
Usually made of forged or cast steel (e.g., EN-8 type heavy material) for durability under load.
