FAQs About Light Duty Driveshafts

What is a light duty cardan shaft used for?

Light duty cardan shafts are ideal for high-speed, low-torque applications. They are commonly used in generators, centrifugal pumps, ventilators, wood handling machines, and belt conveyors.

What torque and flange sizes are available for light duty shafts?

ST Cardan Shaft Light Duty series covers rated torque from 180 to 22,000 Nm and flange diameters from 58 to 225 mm.

Can I customize a light duty cardan shaft?

Yes! The series offers standard types A–C and supports flexible customization to fit your specific industrial machinery or vehicle requirements.

How do I know which service factor to use?

The service factor (k) depends on the shock load:
● Light shock load: 1.1–1.3 (e.g., generators, pumps)
● Medium shock load: 1.3–1.8 (e.g., compressors, small mills)
This helps ensure your shaft lasts longer under operating conditions.

How do I choose between a light duty and a heavier shaft?

Choose a light duty shaft if your application has low torque and moderate stress. For high torque or heavy-impact loads, consider the medium or heavy duty series.
