ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for increasing the life of universal joints of the pin and block type by reducing the running temperature of the pins and bearings to inhibit oxidation and vaporization of the lubricant film between those parts. The method and apparatus relate to conducting heat from the interior of the pin and bearing zone through heat transfer means and discharging that heat to the surrounding medium through heat dissipating means.
