FAQ

Q: Are you trading company or manufacturer ?
A: We  are  a  professional  manufacturer specializing  in  manufacturing cardan  shafts. We supply cardan shafts for the wholesalers , dealers  and end-users from different countries. 
 
Q: Can you do OEM? And what is your min order ?
A: Yes, absolutely. Generally, min order is1 set.  Most of our products are Customized. Each order from our factory, we always produce cardan shaft after customer confirmed the drawing. So we didn’t have stock.
 
Q: How does your factory do regarding quality control?
A:Quality is priority! We always attach great importance to quality controlling from the very beginning to the  end:
1) Firstly, we have QC department to control the quality
2) Secondly, we have all detailed records for nonconformity products, then we will make summary according to these records, avoid it happen again.
3) Thirdly,All complaints from customers about quality are reported directly to the general manager.
4)Fourthly,Have first-class production equipment, including CNC Machines and machining center.

Common Industries and Applications of Cardan Couplings

Cardan couplings, also known as universal joints or u-joints, are widely used in various industries and applications that require torque transmission and flexibility in shaft connections. Some common examples include:

• Automotive Industry: Cardan couplings are used in driveshafts to transmit power from the engine to the wheels while allowing for variable angles and misalignment caused by suspension movement.
• Industrial Machinery: They are used in heavy machinery such as mining equipment, cranes, and manufacturing machinery to transmit torque between non-aligned shafts.
• Agricultural Machinery: Tractors and other agricultural equipment utilize cardan couplings in drivelines to accommodate varying angles and lengths.
• Marine Applications: Cardan couplings are used in marine propulsion systems to transmit torque between the engine and the propeller shaft, even when the shafts are at different angles.
• Aerospace Industry: They are employed in aerospace applications such as aircraft control systems and helicopter rotor drives to accommodate movements and misalignments.
• Railway Systems: Cardan couplings are used in railway drivelines to transmit torque between cars and locomotives while allowing for movement and misalignment.
• Energy Sector: They find applications in power generation systems, including wind turbines, where they accommodate misalignments caused by dynamic loads.
• Pumps and Compressors: Cardan couplings are used in pumps and compressors to transmit power while compensating for misalignment and vibration.

These examples demonstrate the versatility of cardan couplings in various industries where torque transmission, flexibility, and angular misalignment compensation are essential.

Are there different types of cardan couplings for various applications?

Yes, there are different types of cardan couplings designed to suit various applications and requirements:

• Single Universal Joint: This is the most common type of cardan coupling, consisting of two yokes connected by a cross-shaped center piece. It is suitable for applications where angular misalignment compensation is needed, but the shafts are not too far apart.
• Double Cardan Joint: Also known as a double U-joint or CV joint, this type consists of two universal joints connected by an intermediate shaft. It is used when higher angles of misalignment need to be accommodated or when a constant velocity transmission is required.
• Disc Type Coupling: This type uses flexible discs or plates to transmit torque and compensate for misalignment. It is often used in applications with limited space and moderate torque requirements.
• Block Type Coupling: Block type cardan couplings use solid blocks or spheres to transmit torque. They are suitable for heavy-duty applications and can handle higher torque loads.
• Floating Shaft Coupling: This design involves two shafts connected by a third floating shaft, which allows for even higher angles of misalignment and smoother torque transmission.
• Needle Bearing Universal Joint: In this type, needle bearings are used to reduce friction and improve efficiency. It is often used in precision applications where low friction and high efficiency are crucial.

The choice of cardan coupling type depends on factors such as the amount of misalignment, torque requirements, available space, and the need for constant velocity transmission. Selecting the right type ensures optimal performance and longevity in various mechanical systems.
