Gewes Cardan Driveshafts
Clutch Engineering offers Gewes cardan driveshafts, for use in many applications. These applications include steel mills, paper mills, treatment plants, and amusement parks, among others. No machine element other than a cardan shaft allows power transmission of torque between spatially offset driving and driven shafts whose position can be changed during operation. Gewes cardan shafts are high quality, low maintenance, and reliable examples of high-quality manufacturing. These cardan driveshafts transmit torque while allowing for misalignment between driving and driven shafts. With a variety of sizes, lengths, angles, slips, and flanges available, Gewes cardan driveshafts can meet the critical needs of many application. Cardan shafts have become an indispensable transmission component. Torque range: 73 to 165,951 lb-ft (100 to 225,000 Nm) Typical applications: Steel mill machinery, paper mill machinery, pumps, amusement rides, marine propulsion, wastewater treatment
UF Joints (Fixed)
Clutch Engineering offers GKN Lobro RF high quality constant velocity joints for use in steel mills, paper mills, and other industrial environments. These well-made parts allow shaft angles of up to 40° for various industrial and mechanical applications. These joints are fixed, providing no axial movement. Length compensation is also possible through use of a splined shaft joining each of the fixed joints. RF fixed joints are able to provide constant angular velocity, even when the input and output angles aren't equal. GKN Driveline considers the positive impact that a product can have on a vehicle's dynamic performance and efficiency when designing parts and components, leading to highly-reliable products. Torque range: 427 to 7,744 lb-ft (580 to 10,500 Nm) Typical applications: Steel mill machinery, paper mill machinery, dynamometers, marine propulsion
VL Joints (Plunging)
Clutch Engineering offers GKN Lobro VL constant velocity joints that can be used in a variety of industrial machinery and marine propulsion applications. Their designs allows for shaft angles of up to 18°, and they can also plunge to allow for axial movement. An important benefit of VL plunging joints is that they are able to provide constant angular velocity, even when the input and output angles aren't equal. This increases your options for taking advantage of constant angular velocity in a wider variety of situations. GKN Driveline supplies the worldwide automotive aftermarket and other industries, including manufacturing and marine industries. Torque range: 427 to 29,502 lb-ft (580 to 40,000 Nm) Typical applications: Steel mill machinery, paper mill machinery, dynamometers, marine propulsion
