Propshafts allow the transmission of power in rotating drive train applications with variable distances between the components which transmit and take up the drive.

Cardan shafts represent a largely standardized selection of universal shafts suitable for a wide variety of commercial vehicles and models. Uni-Cardan offers cardan shafts with universal joints, double shafts – in standard and special designs, including flange connections, seal assemblies and steering knuckles.

Major features of the Cardan shaft include

• high resistance to dynamic load variations
• large deflection angles
• uniform load distribution throughout the axial displacement range
• low rotational diameter, low weight, and versatile flange connections.

These features provide an ideal base for standardised drive train design and new power transmission concepts.
