Voith R Series universal joint shafts for medium-sized torques, and high-speed drives
Mike Santora
These universal joint shafts are of modular design and can be easily integrated into your drives. The flange connections are available in friction and positive locking designs. The R-series have been optimized using FEM. High-strength tempered and case-hardened steels and center sections with a large diameter serve to reduce the weight. At the same time, the bending and torsion rigidity is increased. As a result, the universal joint shaft is highly efficient in operation and less sensitive to vibration stress.
