A cross holder, also known as a U-joint yoke or U-joint flange, is a mechanical component used to connect a universal joint to a shaft. It is typically a cylindrical or square-shaped piece of metal with a hole in the center that matches the size and shape of the universal joint. The cross holder is bolted or welded to the end of the shaft, and the universal joint is then inserted into the hole in the center of the holder.

The purpose of the cross holder is to provide a secure and stable connection between the universal joint and the shaft. It also helps to maintain the alignment of the universal joint and the shaft, which is important for smooth and efficient torque transmission. Cross holders are commonly used in automotive drive shafts, industrial machinery, and other applications where torque needs to be transmitted between non-aligned shafts.

There are different types of cross holders available, including flange-type, slip-type, and weld yoke-type cross holders. Flange-type cross holders are bolted to the end of the shaft, and the universal joint is bolted to the flange. Slip-type cross holders are designed to allow the shaft to slide in and out of the holder, which is useful in applications where the length of the shaft needs to be adjusted. Weld yoke-type cross holders are welded directly to the end of the shaft, providing a strong and rigid connection.
