Sizing SWC150BH Industrial Cardan Shafts for Compact Machinery Drivetrains
Introduction In modern automated production lines—such as automated packaging conveyors, woodworking machinery, textile equipment, and light-duty machine tools—engineers frequently encounter tight spatial constraints that require high torque transfer without excess rotational inertia.
Â
The SWC150BH Round Flange Cardan Shaft Assembly offers an ideal balance of compactdimensions, low weight, and robust torque capacity rated at 13 kN m.
1. Compact Design & Transmission Efficiency With a 150 mm rotation outer diameter and an 89 mm drive tube, the SWC150BH fits intotight machinery housings where larger industrial cardan couplings cannot be installed. The55 X 128 mm central journal cross assembly delivers efficient mechanical power transmissionwith minimal power loss or torsional backlash.
2. Engineering Dimension Verification Checklist five critical flange parameters prior to ordering:
To ensure drop-in compatibility when replacing worn drive shafts, technical buyers should verify
Rotation Diameter (D): 150 mm clearance envelope.
Flange Pilot Diameter (D2): 90 mm with H7 precision fit (3 mm spigot depth).
Bolt Pitch Circle (D1): 130 mm accommodating 8 mounting holes (13 mm).
Flange Rim Thickness (K): 10 mm compact rim profile.
Drive Tube Outer Diameter (D3): 89 mm high-strength seamless tube.
3. Versatile Mounting & Custom Factory Sourcing The SWC150BH series can be configured in standard telescopic (BF, CH), short welded telescopic (DH), or fixed non-telescopic (WH, WF, WD) styles. Apexcoupling manufactures all SWC cardan shafts with forged alloy steel components, precision dynamic balancing, and protective anti-corrosion spray coatings.
