Industry-leading driveline components manufacturer Mark Williams Enterprises has developed an innovative new Reduced Mass™ transmission yoke (patent pending) that improves performance through a reduction in rotating inertia and also provides less ear deflection (reduces friction). Other benefits include contributing to optimum U-joint preload and improving shaft balance accuracy.

An M-W exclusive, the Reduced Mass™ yokes are CNC machined from chromium nickel molybdenum aircraft alloy forgings and shot-peened to guard against stress crack propagation. They also feature a special O-ringed seal with a tapered retaining ring that puts pressure on the aluminum plug and eliminates fluid seepage.

Designed for 1350-series U-joint applications, the M-W Reduced Mass™ yokes are available for all popular standard and automatic transmissions—including specially hardened models for use in roller bearing tailhousing applications.

Mark Williams Enterprises also manufactures companion heavy-duty yokes for 1480-series U-joint applications, which are of a standard design, given their high torque level environment. The Reduced Mass™ yokes have been extensively load tested on M-W’s torsional testing device and proven significantly stronger than nominal 1350 U-joint failure points.
