Specializing in the design and manufacture of steering and shift linkage components and shaft assemblies, Belden’s products are used in various specialty vehicle applications — from race cars to boats and industrial vehicles.
For the racing industry, Belden has developed steering and shift linkage solutions focused on cross and needle bearing designs. Needle bearing universal joints are preferred for race car applications because they deliver rigid axial stiffness for push/pull loads and feature high-strength alloy steel yokes with permanently sealed drawn cup needle bearings and a forged cross. Steering and shift linkage solutions for race cars are available in a variety of hub materials including: stainless steel, forged steel, extruded aluminum and alloy—with or with out plating.
For light-duty and recreational vehicles, Belden custom manufactures steering assemblies based on the type of vehicle and the manufacturer’s strict guidelines. These customers include manufacturers of electric cars, golf carts, passenger vehicles, ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles), industrial maintenance vehicles and utility trucks.
For specialty automobiles, Belden provides custom steering and shift linkage components to meet and exceed the critical standards of each individual OEM. The joint and drive shaft assemblies are engineered to exact specifications in various grades of stainless steel, plated alloys, forgings and aluminum for high strength-to-weight ratios. Using state-of-the-art multiple axis CNC machinery and engineering systems technology, Belden can provide high strength, lighter weight steering components specifically for the automotive market.
Custom assemblies are Belden’s specialty. Hubs and connecting shafts can be customized to exact specifications. Materials include alloy, all grades of stainless steels, naval brass as well as extruded aluminium.
