Delphi Low-profile Tripot Joint
The Delphi Low-profile Tripot Joint helps isolate the passenger compartment from engine vibration while providing the industry's smallest package size for a given torque capacity. The design enables a 17 percent reduction in diameter and a mass savings of up to 30 percent without a loss in performance.
Benefits
- Facilitates vehicle integration
- Simplifies packaging
- Supports vehicle-weight-reduction programs
- Low stroke effort when compared to similar joints for superior wear resistance
- Cold-formed housing available to meet customer requirements
- Durable seals improve reliability when compared to similar joints due to enhanced tear, puncture, and abrasion resistance
Typical Applications
- Inboard joint in front-wheel-drive vehicles
- Adaptable for rear- and all-wheel-drive vehicles with independent suspensions
- Other applications requiring low stroke effort and large stroke-angle capacity in a small package
