New product award
05 January 2017
Punk Couplings’ Gim-Ball coupling has won the ‘Best New Product (Mechanical) of the Year - Highly Commended Category’ in the British Engineering Excellence Awards 2016.

The Punk Gim-Ball design utilises three nested rings with mating spherical surfaces to reinterpret the traditional Cardan joint with axles transmitting the torque. It provides a lightweight, compact and robust torque coupling that can accommodate angular misalignment up to +/-15°.
The Punk Gim-Ball is comparable to a universal joint but with significantly lower distance between shaft ends (DBSE) and is suited to applications that require higher speeds and higher misalignments.
