Product Structure & Components
Integral Forged Fork Head – One-piece construction without bolt connections – eliminates bolt loosening and breakage, the most common failure point in traditional universal joints.
Cross Shaft Assembly (Spider) – Precision cross shaft with multi-row needle roller bearings for high wear resistance and strength. Equipped with grease fittings (注油嘴) for easy lubrication. Cross shaft dimensions: 38×83mm.
Telescopic Welded Shaft – Standard telescopic design with 55mm stroke compensates for axial displacement.
Flange Connection – 84mm outer diameter flange with 6 holes evenly distributed at 9mm diameter for secure mounting.
Alloy Steel Construction – 42CrMo with quenching process – high strength and durability.
💡 How it works: The SWC100BH cardan shaft uses an integral fork head design that eliminates the weak link of bolt compression bearing seats, completely avoiding common malignant damage caused by bolt loosening or breaking. Torque is transmitted through the cross shaft, while the telescopic shaft accommodates axial displacement. The flange connection provides secure mounting to driven equipment.
SWC100BH vs Other SWC Types – Quick Comparison
| Type | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| BH | Standard Telescopic Welding | General industrial, most common type |
| BF | Standard Telescopic Flange | Quick assembly/disassembly, regular maintenance |
| DH | Short Telescopic Welding | Space-constrained installations |
| CH | Long Telescopic Welding | Large axial displacement requirements |
| WH | Non-Telescopic Welding | Fixed-length applications |
| WF | Non-Telescopic Flange | Fixed-length with flange connection |
💡 BH (Standard Telescopic Welding) is the most commonly used type in the SWC series, offering the best balance of performance, reliability, and versatility for general industrial applications.
