Cardan Shaft with length compensation, tubular design
Double Joint
Single Joint: Standard Length
STANDARD DESIGN 300 SERIES
Cardan shaft with double/single and double joints with length compensation, tubular design
The 300 series utilizes a centered double joint consisting of two fork parts incorporating the centering
device enclosed in a rubber boot for protection against dirt and moisture.
The 300 series is availailable in two configurations:
1) As a double joint in conjunction with a single joint. This arrangement is most often found in
construction equipment with articulated steering. The centered double joint offers the advantage of
not requiring the support of an intermediate bearing.
2) The second configeration consists of two centered double joints. Since the difference in angle
between both single joints is a maximum of approximately three degrees this configuration
practically assures uniform torque transmittal.
