1. INTRODUCTION
A propeller shaft is a steal tube normally consisting if two unversal joints and a slip joint. The propeller
shaft transfers power from the transmission output shaft to the rear drive axle.
A differential in the axle housing transmits the power to the rear wheels, which then move the car
forward for backward. Propeller shafts differ in construction, lining, length, diameter, and type of slip
joint. Typically, the propeller shaft is connected at one end to the transmission and at the other end to
the rear axle, which moves up and down with wheel and spring movement.

(2) Cardan shafts should be transported in horizontal position. For non-horizontal transportation addi
tional precautions must be taken to prevent the splined parts from separating.
(3) When lifting or putting down the shaft the moving parts (flange yoke and journal cross) may tilt and
lead to injuries.
PS0481
(5) Do not store or handle the shaft with any stress or load on the cover tube (1) or sealing tube diameter
(2).

When cardan shafts are stored in an up right position make sure, they cannot fall over.
1) Installation
(1) Safety relevant components of the vehicle and brake lines electric lines hydraulic and fuel lines
must be arranged in such a way that they cannot be damaged by a defective cardan shaft.
(2) Suitable safety devices (e.g: catch bows,solid safety guards) must be provided to prevent the
parts of the shaft from being thrown around and to prevent damage to other parts of the unit if the
cardan shaft should become defective.
Danger to life!
(3) Cardan shafts are elastic and flexural bodies. Their bending vibration strength and their critical
whirling speed must be calculated. If necessary contact our specialists.
(4) For reasons of smooth running and safety of the shaft the n x b value (speed x deflection angle)
of the relevant joint size must not be exceeded.

(5) Check position of the yokes(1) of the shaft. Observe the arrow markings(2). (They must be in
alignment.)
The spline components are matched for a smooth fitting and must not be interchanged or re
mounted by 180° .
(6) Before installation remove the transport retainer device if any in case of doubt please contact the
supplier.
(7) Check the side and radial runout as well as the fit of the mounted flanges and the connected units.
(8) Do not turn the joints of the cardan shafts with assembly levers because this may damage the
grease nipples or sealing arrangement of the bearings. Use bolts and nuts of the prescribed
quality (strength)
(9) Only use bolts and nuts in accordance with the supplier's specification.
(10) The bolts should be evenly tightened crosswise with a torque wrench.
(11) When using cardan shafts wuthout length compensation one of the connecting units must be
flexible because otherwise there may be a distortion in the drive shaft with resulting damage.
(12) Midship shafts must have an axially movable center bearing.
La
La : Length compensation
PS0511
(13) If cardan shafts with length compensation or drive lines are used the companion flanges must
be firmly fitted on the shafts of the connected units.
(14) The journal cross assemblies of cardan shafts that have been stored for more than 6 months
must be relubricated with the prescribed grease before operation.
(15) When painting or putting on a noise-reducing compound make sure to protect the sliding range
of the seal (length compensation La)
To avoid unbalance the coatings must be put on evenly
(16) Protect rilsan coated splines (sleeve muff or sleeve yoke) against
-heat, solvents, mechanical damage
(17) When cleaning cardan shafts do not use aggressive chemical agents or pressurized water or
steam jets because the seals may be damaged and dirt or water may penetrate.
(18) Cardan shafts can be used for a temperature range between -25°C(-13°F) and +60°C(+140°F)
up to 80°C(176°F) but only for limited periods and not on a frequent basis.
There are special designs of cardan shafts for other ranges of temperature deviates from these
values.
(19) If cardan shafts are subjected to higher temperatures, e.g. due to noise reduction measures or
retarders provide for suitable cooling.

-To avoid greater non-uniformity the drive lines consisting of the midship shaft with the center bear
ing and the normal cardan shaft must be installed in accordance with the prescribed yoke position
of the joints.
X-S
Sturdy support
PS0531
-When installed the center bearing must be vertical in all directions and in centerlposition with re
gard to the horizontal axis of the midship shaft. Suitable mounting supports must be provided on
the frame side. A continuous sturdy support must be provided between the center bearing bracket
and the mounting support.
(20) To guarantee a safe bolting of the center bearing bracket of the midship shaft with the frame of
the vehicle always use the bolting prescribed by the manufacturer of the vehicle.
These bolts must by all means be secured against working loose in accordance with the in
structions of the vehicle manufacturer.
(21) The center bearing of the midship shaft must be installed without force.
Therefore the center bearing must not be bolted to the frame of the vehicle until the drive and
the driven sides of the drive line have been bolted down.

Support by e.g:

PS0541
(22) With regard to the maximum permissible operating temperature cleaning etc. the center bear
ings must be handled in the same way as the bearings of cardan joints.
*Flange bolting
-To connect the cardan shaft with the companion flanges it is imperative to use high tensile
bolts of the quality 10.9 T and the corresponding all metal self locking nuts of the quality 10T
or such bolts and nuts that the manufacturer of the vehicle has prescribed.
Complete sets of bolting are available for all DIN and X-Serration flanges.
-All bolts must be tightened with the specified torque. The tightening torques Ta given in the
table are based on a 90% utilization of the elastic limit and apply to slightly oiled bolts.(Friction
coefficient µ = 0.13).
Do not use molycote paste or any other grease on the bolts and nuts.
Max. permissible tolerance for Ta: ±7%

*Companion flanges
As a rule cardan shafts are connected with the units by companion flanges. The material of the
companion flanges must have a tensile strength of min. 750N/mm2.

1) Disassembly
*Before disassembly protect cardan shaft from spline separation
*Before removing the shaft from the companion flange make sure it cannot fall down.
Caution
The yoke may be damaged when removing the cardan shaft from the companion flange.
*Observe the directions for transport storage and installation of cardan shafts.
2) Maintenance
Maintenance work on cardan shafts used in vehicles and industrial equipment must be done
at regular intervals.
The scope and the intervals of maintenance work depend on the individual operating condi-
tions of the vehicle or the equipment.
Maintenance intervals
Depending on the type of vehicle the mileage or the service life and the operating conditions two
different scopes and intervals of maintenance are required. These are the "minor inspection" and
the "major inspection".
