Torque range: 86 to 1,891,846 lb-ft (117 to 2,565,000 Nm)
Typical applications: Paper mills, steel mills, levellers, marine propulsion, pumps

Cardan Driveshafts

Dana Spicer is one of the most trusted names in cardan shafts. Spicer cardan shafts allow torque to be transmitted across a greater angle than that allowed by flexible couplings. Adjustable length gives flexibility when mounting the driveshafts.

Torque range: 400 to 5,000 lb-ft (542 to 6,779 Nm)
Typical applications: Steel mill machinery, paper mill machinery, pumps, amusement rides, marine propulsion, wastewater treatment

Double Cardan Driveshafts

Gewes double cardan shafts are specifically designed for front-wheel drive vehicles. These driveshafts have a compact design with high torque capacity and are lubricated for life.

Torque range: 2,950 to 11,063 lb-ft (4,000 to 15,000 Nm)
Typical applications: Tractors, construction machinery, trucks, off-road vehicles

Gewes Cardan Driveshafts

Gewes cardan shafts are high quality, low maintenance, and reliable. They transmit torque while allowing for misalignment between driving and driven shafts.
