0 comments

More and more machines are being fitted with Cardan shafts, using them for transmission. With a universal shaft drive, there will be more power, a longer life, and a greater ability to increase the productivity of the machine. In order to meet these functions, the Cardan shaft needs to be installed correctly and the following points need to be noted.


Attention points for installation of Cardan shafts:

Cardan shaft is delivered as a whole assembly, so there is no need for disassembly and washing before installation.

Hoisting Cardan shaft should be carried out in a horizontal state, and its lifting should use hemp rope or nylon rope.

The forkhead at both ends of the spline shaft and spline sleeve should be in the same phase.

The anti-rust paint, grease, rust, and dust on the flange mounting surface shall be cleaned.

Flange connection bolts can only be put in from the flange side matching the crossed drive shaft, and the nut is tightened by the flange side of the Cardan drive shaft.
Flange connections shall be made with grade 10.9 high strength bolts and grade 10 nuts.

Apply a small amount of MoS2-free grease to the threaded portion of the bolt before the nut is screwed into the bolt.

The connection bolts shall be symmetrical in accordance with the required pre-tightening torque and uniformly tightened with a torque wrench. The relevant connection and pre-tightening torque shall conform to the following table.
