Reell Spherical Joints

While traditional ball joints move freely, Reell’s patented SphericalTorq™ technology offers built-in torque control without all the extra parts most assemblies require. The result is easier multi-axis positioning, a stable hold without drifting or sagging, and repeatable performance throughout the life of the product.

Determining the correct torque for your spherical joint depends on:

• Component weight

• Distance from the pivot (center of gravity)

• Required holding angle

To calculate the amount of torque used in your application, use our torque calculator. Otherwise, ask a Reell engineer any questions you have that are unique to your project.

Reell spherical joints offer similar results to multi-axis hinge assemblies with fewer parts, a simpler design, more compact integration, and improved reliability. Instead of combining multiple components, our spherical joints offer the precise amount of torque required in your assembly to move smoothly and hold in place.

A spherical joint and a ball joint both offer multi-directional movement. However, a standard ball joint is designed for free movement. Reell spherical joints feature integrated torque, controlled movement, and reliable position holding in applications.

Yes. Reell spherical joints are engineered to hold up to higher life cycles with consistent torque that doesn’t degrade over time. Our products are built to hold up to high-cycle, repeatable adjustment and positioning in virtually any environment and application.
