South African manufactured cardan shafts available in various lengths to suit customer requirements and with pin and bush couplings, gear couplings and rubber in compression couplings. Can be dynamically balanced if required.
Additional Information:
Our Cardan Shafts are precision-engineered drive components designed to transmit torque and rotational motion between shafts that are not perfectly aligned. Also known as universal joint or drive shafts, cardan shafts are essential in industrial power transmission systems because they compensate for angular misalignment and movement between connected components, ensuring smooth and reliable operation even under challenging conditions.
Built from high-strength materials with rugged universal joints at each end, our cardan shafts are ideal for applications where straight-line alignment isn’t possible such as conveyors, crushers, mixers, pumps and rotating equipment found in manufacturing, mining and processing plants. Their flexible design accommodates movement and vibration while maintaining consistent torque transfer, reducing wear on bearings and connected components and extending service life.
Cardan shafts also offer ease of installation, modular maintenance and efficient power transmission, making them a dependable choice for systems where reliability and uptime matter. Whether you need standard shafts or custom lengths and coupling options to suit your layout, Crofts Gears supplies durable solutions engineered to meet heavy-duty industrial demands delivering performance, flexibility and long-term value.
