1. Cardan Shafts
Types of cardan shafts and their requirements
Cardan shafts are used when the drive and output are physically separated, and direct torque transmission is not feasible due to technical constraints. To meet diverse technical needs, we offer a wide range of drive-shaft designs.
1.1 Cardan Shafts with Length Compensation
Perfect for precise, flexible torque transfer, our length-compensating cardan shafts adapt during installation and operation. As a widespread standard, they are used in various technical applications,
such as the paper industry.
| Technical Data | |
|---|---|
| Torque range: | 15 500Nm – 284 000Nm |
| Flange diameter: | Ø150mm – Ø480mm |
| Rotation diameter: | Ø159mm - Ø390mm |
| Deflection angle: | 15° - 35° depending on the series |
| Length displacements: | Max. 1000mm |
| Operating length: | Standard up to 4500 mm Custom lengths available! |
1.2 Cardan Shafts without Length Compensation
Our fixed-length cardan shafts deliver maximum precision and power, ideal for applications with axial force demands.
| Technical Data | |
|---|---|
| Torque range: | 15 500Nm – 284 000Nm |
| Flange diameter: | Ø150mm – Ø480mm |
| Rotation diameter: | Ø159mm - Ø390mm |
| Deflection angle: | 15° - 35° depending on series |
| Operating length: | Standard up to 4500 mm Custom lengths available! |
1.3 Integral Design
The modular design allows fast component swaps during maintenance, reducing downtime across series.
| Technical Data | |
|---|---|
| Torque range: | 15 500Nm – 284 000Nm |
| Flange diameter: | Ø150mm – Ø480mm |
| Rotation diameter: | Ø159mm - Ø390mm |
| Deflection angle: | 15° - 35° depending on series |
| Length displacements: | Max. 1000mm |
| Operating length: | Standard up to 4500 mm Custom lengths available! |
1.4 Intermediate Shafts
Pair intermediate shafts with standard models to bridge extra lengths, perfect for pump drives in tough conditions.
| Technical Data | |
|---|---|
| Torque range: | 15 500Nm – 284 000Nm |
| Flange diameter: | Ø150mm – Ø480mm |
| Rotation diameter: | Ø159mm - Ø390mm |
| Deflection angle: | Limit to 3° based on experience |
