Cardan Shaft Manufacturer

Cardan shaft also refer to as propeller shafts with Universal joint shaft is the shaft with integrated joints. It acts as an intermediate between the driving and the driven shaft that are not aligned on the same axis transferring the running torque smoothly. Cardan shafts transmit rotary motion and torques via an articulated shaft Assembly. Cardan shaft is made up of one or more hollow shafts, connected with cardan joints also called as universal joints at the Shaft flanges. The universal Joint comprises a central crosspiece with two crossed pairs of bearing journals that Fit Into cross holes in the fork-like shaft flanges to create a movable connection. Sometimes elastic discs (joint discs/coupling flex discs) are used instead of the crossed joint when only low torques is being transmitted. Cardan shaft transmit rotary motion and torques via an articulated shaft Assembly. The articulation in the assembly can also be adju...

Universal joint shaft are used to transmit torque from one shaft to another which are offset to each other. It is an ideal form of coupling two shafts when offset is unavoidable. Spline type universal joint is made from heat treated alloy steels for increased over load and reliability. Precision machining of Universal joint shaft ensures optimum performance under severe load conditions. They must therefore be strong enough to bear the stress, whilst avoiding too much additional weight as that would in turn increase their inertia. Universal joints play the important role of transmitting torque and rotational motion from one shaft to another. For transition of torque and rotational motion Universal joint shaft is necessary when axes of shafts are inclined to each other by some angle, which may constantly vary under working conditions. To accommodate the infinite amount of applications they can go into Universal joints come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and configura...
