Cardan Shaft Types and Uses

What is shaft?
A shaft is a metallic, rotating and oscillating rod that rotates continually to transfer movements or torque in the machine. Shaft is usually used to connect other components of machine that cannot be connected due to distance between them and to allow relative motion between them. Shaft is also known as Propeller or Drive Shaft is an intermediate between the driving and the driven shaft that are not aligned on the same axis transferring the running torque smoothly. It is designed to bear heavy load which is why it can be used to transfer high level of stress. It allows for smoother and faster operation where there are less possibilities of the system getting jammed. 


Many Cardan shaft parts are used to transmit torque in machine to connect two components of the machine from distance. Dullabh commercials are the leading cardan shaft manufacturers in India and among the best universal joint shaft manufacturers. We also introduce our self as universal joint shaft manufacturers in India, uj cross manufacturers India and cardan shaft supplier.


Shaft is classified based on different categories that are as follows:


1. According to the shape

Straight shaft
Cranked shaft
Flexible Shaft



2. According to the construction

Shaft of constant cross section
Shaft of variable cross section
            Shafts made solid with gears or worms

  
3. According to the shape of the cross section

             Shafts with solid circular cross section
             Shafts with hollow circular cross section
             Shafts with keyways
             Shafts with splines
             Shafts with rectangular circular cross section
