Cardan shafts

Cardan shafts

We offer Cardan shafts or articulated shafts for a wide range of industrial applications and working machines. Shafts in various sizes, with or without length compensation. Standard types of Cardan shafts are presented in the table below. We also offer Cardan shafts on request.

Apart from typical Cardan shafts we offer flanges connected by a joint, single and double. We also offer mounting elements: flanges and crosses.

Application:

- for connecting rotating equipment shafts when their axes intersect at an angle or are parallel,

- for equal systems where the active and passive shaft speeds are equal (intermediate shaft rotates at variable speed).

- to compensate for changes in position of the combined equipment,

In case of Cardan shafts with other dimensions than in the table above, please provide the data from the drawing below in your inquiry:

Basic dimensions of the shaft with DIN flange:

A - external diameter of the Cardan shaft flange

D - pitch diameter of Cardan shaft flange holes

B - diameter of the lock of the Cardan shaft flange

C - depth of the lock

Lz- length of the Cardan shaft in the folded state

La- length of the Cardan shaft extension

I - number of holes in the Cardan shaft flange

E - diameter of the hole in the Cardan shaft flange

What are Cardan shafts used for?

In machine science, Cardan shafts are one of many types of drive shafts, which are used for connecting and transmitting drives in industrial and working machines, among others. Their special design allows for effective drive management between coaxial shafts, even in cases of large pitch angles. The advantage of this type of a toggle joint is the simple and easy service we offer as part of our services.

We ensure quality and selection of Cardan shafts according to the needs of our customers

We are able to recommend the most beneficial solutions to customers who use Cardan shafts. The whole mechanism must be properly selected and efficient, thanks to which there will be no failure or permanent immobilization of the machine. We have advanced technology and capabilities at our disposal, so that Cardan shafts meet individual needs. We guarantee their failure-free operation without the need for maintenance.
