Selection procedures for specific applications

Cardan shafts in railways transmissions
The selection of cardan shafts in the secondary system of rail vehicles must be based on the maximum torque that can be transmitted to the track (wheel slip or adhesion torque).


Cardan shafts in crane travel drives
The particular operating conditions for travel drives of cranes have been taken into consideration in the DIN-standard 15450. Therefore, cardan shafts of those applications can be selected by using this standard.


Cardan shafts in marine transmissions
Those cardan shafts are subject to acceptance and must correspond to the standards on the respective classification society.


Cardan shafts for other forms of passenger conveyance
Cardan shafts used in amusement park equipments, ski lifts or similar lift systems, elevators and rail vehicles must be in accordance with the standards and specifications of the licence and supervisory authority.


Selection of cardan shafts
The selection of a cardan shaft is not only determined by the maximum permissible torque of the shaft and the connections.
It also depends on a variety of other factors.
For the exact determination and selection of cardan shafts
see Selection of cardan shafts.
Our engineers will be pleased to advise you on the selection of the right size of the shaft and joint by applying computer programmes.

For this purpose we require the following data from you:
Installation length of the cardan shaft
max. joint angle requirement
the required length compensation
the maximum rotation speed of the shaft
the shaft end connection details
the maximum torque to be transmitted
the nominal torque to be transmitted
the load occurrences
