Cardan Shaft

The motor rotating shaft is horizontal, the travel pinion spin axis can be horizontal. The problem is that these axes aren’t aligned, they happen to be parallel to one another. The Cardan Shaft redirects the travel shaft to the drive pinion without changing the path of rotation.
Trusted in industry, cardan shafts have proven practical about applications where space is limited-as well as in scenarios where an factor in the machine train (e.g. paper roll) might need to always be actuated (dynamically positioned) to another position when the machines are not running. The universal joint allows for limited movement without uncoupling. To ensure enough lubrication circulation, which in turn inhibits the universal joints from seizing, cardan shafts are usually installed with an position from 4 to 6 6 degrees at the universal joints. Encounter, though, has proven that the angle between your shafts of the driver and powered unit ought to be kept to a minimum, preferably less than 4.36 mrads (0.25 degrees). Preferably, the angles between your driver and motivated shafts and the cardan shaft, shown as β1 and β2 in Fig. 1, would be equal. Geometrically, this would equate to zero angularity existing between the driver and driven product: Basically, the shafts of the driver and influenced machine will be parallel to each other.

Usually it includes a tubular shaft, two sets of Universal Joints and glove system – ferrule stepper, among others. It can be a component of the transmission program, its function is to redirect the engine turning activity, after moving through the gearbox and the drive to the wheel, going through the ‘planetary and satellite’ system etc.

Our specialised personnel will gladly help you find the proper universal joint for the application or will develop a suitable solution according to your specific requirements.
Cardan shaft, generally known as cardinal shaft, is an element of torque transmission.
