The main function of an elastic cardan shaft is to transmit torques and rotational movements between two axes, while at the same time compensating for irregularities in the alignment angle between the two axes. It is used to absorb vibrations, shocks and axial displacements that may be caused by inaccuracies or dynamic loads in the system.
Applications: Flexible cardan shafts are used in a variety of applications including industrial machinery, pumps, fans, motors, gearboxes, vehicle drives and many other systems where a flexible and vibration damping connection is required.
Advantages: The benefits of flexible cardan shafts include the ability to reduce vibration and shock loads, extend the life of machine components, compensate for misalignment, reduce noise and reduce maintenance requirements.
Angle: up to 3°
Torques: up to 500 Nm
