SWC-BH Telescopic Welded Universal Joint Shaft

Product Overview

The SWC-BH telescopic welded universal joint shaft is designed for industrial power transmission between shafts operating at an angle. Its universal joint structure enables angular torque transmission, while the telescopic spline assembly accommodates axial length changes within the specified operating range.

Designed for demanding mechanical applications, the SWC-BH cardan shaft features forged steel components, a cross-bearing assembly and a welded shaft structure. Lubrication points help facilitate bearing maintenance, while protective surface painting helps resist corrosion in industrial environments.

Apex Coupling supplies SWC-BH universal joint shafts for heavy-duty machinery and supports customized dimensions and connection requirements according to technical drawings.

Key Features

• Telescopic design: Accommodates specified axial displacement through the sliding spline assembly.

• Welded shaft construction: Provides a robust connection between the shaft tube and joint components.

• Forged steel components: Support strength and durability when manufactured to the specified material and heat-treatment requirements.

• Cross-bearing assembly: Transfers torque between shafts operating at an angle.

• Lubrication access: Grease fittings allow lubricant to be applied to compatible bearing assemblies.

• Heat treatment: Specified components can undergo quenching, tempering or other approved heat-treatment processes.

• Protective coating: Industrial paint helps protect the external surface against corrosion.

• Custom engineering: Shaft length, flange or end connection details and other dimensions can be reviewed according to the application.

Technical Specifications

Actual torque capacity, working angle, rotational speed, minimum installation length and telescopic travel depend on the selected model. Please consult the model-specific technical drawing before final selection.

Manufacturing and Quality Control

Forged Steel Components

Specified steel components are processed to meet the mechanical requirements of the selected model. Material grade and heat-treatment requirements should be confirmed against the approved manufacturing specification.

Heat Treatment

The manufacturing process may include quenching and tempering of designated components and surface hardening of the spline shaft where specified. These processes help support strength and wear resistance.

Precision Straightening

Shaft straightening helps control alignment and reduce runout within the specified manufacturing tolerances.

Cross-Bearing Lubrication

The cross-bearing assembly incorporates lubrication points on compatible designs to facilitate grease application and routine maintenance.

Surface Protection and Dynamic Balancing

Protective paint helps reduce corrosion during storage and operation. Dynamic balancing and rotational testing can be specified according to the customer’s required operating speed and applicable quality standards.

Typical Applications

The SWC-BH telescopic universal joint shaft can be considered for heavy-duty mechanical transmission systems, including:

• Metallurgical and rolling mill equipment

• Lifting and material-handling machinery

• Mining and conveying systems

• Industrial processing equipment

• Heavy-duty gearboxes and drive systems

• Other machinery requiring angular torque transmission and axial length compensation

Suitability should be confirmed based on torque, speed, working angle, axial movement, installation length and operating environment.

How to Select an SWC-BH Universal Joint Shaft

To help us identify the right configuration, please provide:

1. Required torque: Include nominal torque and any starting or impact loads.

2. Operating speed: Specify normal and maximum RPM.

3. Working angle: Provide the operating angle at each joint.

4. Installation length: Confirm the required length and available axial movement.

5. Connection dimensions: Provide flange, square-plate, bolt-hole or other end-connection details.

6. Operating conditions: Specify temperature, dust, moisture, corrosion and lubrication requirements.

7. Technical drawing: Share the drawing or existing shaft dimensions where available.

Our team can review these requirements and discuss a suitable SWC-BH configuration.
