Cardan shafts and universal spindles transmit torque between drive and driven equipment where the shafts operate at an angle. Universal joints accommodate angular movement, while telescopic designs can also allow changes in working length, depending on the assembly configuration.
These components are used in rolling mills, steel processing lines, conveyors and other industrial drive systems. Correct selection of torque capacity, operating speed, joint angle and connection dimensions helps maintain reliable power transmission and reduce unnecessary stress on connected equipment.
