Product Description

SWC180 Face-Tooth Universal Joint Drive Shaft – Curvic Cardan Coupling with Toothed Flange for Heavy-Duty Power Transmission

 

The SWC180 face-tooth universal joint drive shaft is a heavy-duty curvic cardan coupling engineered for applications demanding precision alignment, rapid assembly, and high torque transmission. Featuring a 180 mm nominal bore and a powerful 22 kN·m rated torque capacity, this toothed flange drive shaft utilizes an advanced face-tooth (牙嵌式) flange connection instead of traditional bolted flanges, ensuring zero-slippage power transfer and exact angular positioning between connected shafts.
 
Unlike conventional bolted-flange cardan shafts, the SWC180 face-tooth coupling employs precision-machined end-face teeth on both mating flanges. This design allows for quick connect/disconnect without removing surrounding equipment, while the interlocking tooth profile guarantees perfect concentricity and eliminates backlash under heavy shock loads. It is the ideal solution for mining machinery, heavy industrial equipment, large pumps, and construction machinery where maintenance access is limited and downtime is costly.
 
As a source factory manufacturer, Apexcoupling.com provides the SWC180 toothed flange cardan shaft with full customization support. Face-tooth flange dimensions and tooth profiles are confirmed with our engineering team to match your exact equipment interface.

Key Features – SWC180 Face-Tooth Cardan Coupling

Precision Face-Tooth Flange Connection
The SWC180 curvic coupling features precision-machined end-face teeth (牙嵌式) that interlock for perfect radial and angular alignment. This eliminates the need for traditional bolts in torque transmission and ensures zero backlash under heavy loads.
Quick Assembly & Disassembly
The toothed flange design allows for rapid connect/disconnect without removing adjacent equipment. Ideal for confined spaces and applications where maintenance windows are short.
High Torque Capacity – 22 kN·m
The large 75×152 mm cross shaft assembly with heavy-duty needle bearings handles up to 22 kN·m rated torque, making this coupling suitable for the most demanding heavy industrial drivelines.
Exact Angular Positioning
The face-tooth profile maintains precise phasing between driving and driven shafts, critical for synchronized multi-shaft systems and equipment requiring exact timing.
Metal Flexible Compensation
Provides reliable angular misalignment absorption through the cardan joint while the rigid face-tooth flange ensures no wind-up or slippage at the connection point.
Rigorous Material Selection
Manufactured from strictly selected high-grade forged steel with precision machining, heat treatment, and automated welding. The cross shaft, yoke, and toothed flanges are engineered for maximum impact resistance and fatigue life.
Factory Direct – Custom Engineering
As the source manufacturer, we machine custom tooth profiles to match your existing equipment. Provide your drawing or sample, and we will replicate the interface precisely.

FAQ – SWC180 Face-Tooth Universal Joint Coupling

Q1: What is a face-tooth (牙嵌式) universal joint coupling?
A: A face-tooth coupling uses precision-machined interlocking teeth on the mating flange faces instead of traditional bolts to transmit torque. This provides perfect alignment, zero backlash, and quick assembly/disassembly without removing surrounding equipment.
Q2: What are the exact dimensions of the SWC180 face-tooth flange?
A: The cardan joint body uses a 180 mm bore and 75×152 mm cross shaft rated at 22 kN·m. The face-tooth flange dimensions (tooth profile, OD, pilot) are fully customizable and will be machined to match your equipment drawing or sample.
Q3: Can you replicate my existing face-tooth flange profile?
A: Yes. Simply provide your flange drawing or physical sample, and our CNC machining center will replicate the tooth profile (module, pressure angle, tooth count) with CMM-verified accuracy.
Q4: What industries typically use face-tooth cardan couplings?
A: Face-tooth couplings are widely used in mining, steel mills, heavy construction equipment, and large industrial machinery where rapid maintenance, precise alignment, and high torque are required.
Q5: How does the face-tooth design improve maintenance?
A: Traditional bolted flanges require axial clearance to remove bolts. The face-tooth design allows the shaft to be disconnected by simply sliding it axially a short distance, freeing the teeth without full removal – drastically reducing downtime.
Q6: Do you offer dynamic balancing for SWC180 face-tooth shafts?
A: Yes. Every SWC180 face-tooth drive shaft can be dynamically balanced to your required grade (G16, G40, or custom). Balance certificates are available upon request.
