*   Closed Bearing Eye- This type of shaft is mostly used in the commercial vehicle sector and mechanical engineering applications. It is used in heavy duty vehicles.      *   Split-Bearing Eye- This type of shaft is specially designed for the heavy and super heavy duty applications. The designing of this shaft allows for compact dimension with maximum torque transmission capability. It also facilitates maintenance and assembly operations. General Assembly of Carden Shaft:

Cardan shaft is a mechanical component for transmitting torque and rotation, usually used to connect other components of a drive train that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the need to allow for relative movement between them.   It acts as an intermediate between the driving and the driven shaft that are not aligned on the same axis transferring the running torque smoothly. There are two universal joints in it enabling a flexible connection between the driving and the driven shaft. Each universal joint or cross bearing has four rolling bearings realizing the low friction and minimizing torque losses. Some of the applications of Cardan Shaft are listed down: Applications Of Cardan Shafts:    *   Railway vehicles    *   Rolling machinery    *   Construction plants    *   Marine drive    *   Crane systems    *   Paper machines
