Voith R Series universal joint shafts for medium-sized torques, and high-speed drives

November 17, 2021 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Voith-universal-joint-imageThese 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.

Torques with a single load MZ
Up to 1000 kNm

Deflection angle
Up to 25°

Torques with a reversing load MDW

Centre section
Steel carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP)

Connections:
* Friction flanges
* Flanges with face key
* Flanges with Hirth serrations
* Flanges with split sleeves
* Quick-release couplings
* Adapters
