Industrial Cardan Shafts and Universal Joint Shafts

SWC and SWP cardan shafts—also called universal joint shafts—for drive lines requiring an operating angle, relative equipment movement or length compensation. Confirm torque, fatigue torque, installed length, swing diameter, flange interfaces and operating angle.

Cardan shaft FAQ

Questions About Cardan Shaft Selection

Use these answers to prepare the torque, length, angle and flange information needed for a cardan shaft review.

What is a cardan shaft?

A cardan shaft, also called a universal joint shaft, transmits torque between shafts that operate at an angle or experience relative movement. The joint arrangement, installed length, operating angle and flange interface must be considered together.

What is the difference between telescopic and non-telescopic cardan shafts?

A telescopic design allows controlled change in installed length, while a non-telescopic design is intended for a fixed shaft length. Select the arrangement from the equipment movement, available space and required maintenance access.

How is a cardan shaft selected?

Check nominal and peak torque, speed, installed length, operating angle, telescopic travel, flange pilot and bolt-hole dimensions, swing-diameter clearance and duty cycle. Confirm the final dimensions with the relevant drawing.

What information should I send for a cardan shaft quotation?

Provide the driving and driven equipment, torque, speed, operating angle, installed and retracted length, telescopic travel, flange details, clearance limits, duty cycle, quantity and destination.

Need help with a model?

Send torque, speed, shaft and installation data for a preliminary review.
