Safety instructions
Our products have been developed and tested in keeping with the latest technological
developments.
The characteristic features of the products described in our information material
or specified in writing by ourselves were subjected to proper and careful inspection.
Other layouts are possible but are subject to our written confirmation.
The knowledge of the various demands on our product for a particular application lies with
the purchaser, and it is incumbent on him to verify the drawings and documents prepared by ourselves
on the basis of the data made available by the purchaser and to examine the suitability of the
product for the proposed use. The selection of shaft types and the specification of their sizes on
our part shall in all cases be considered as a recommendation only.
When using and handling cardan shafts, the following safety instructions must be strictly
observed to prevent damage to persons and property.
 |
Where danger to people or material can be caused by rotating cardan shafts, a safety device
has to be installed by the user and/or operator.
Observe the EC Regulations for Machinery!
|
 |
Installation, assembly and maintenance work may only be carried out by
qualified personnel.
|
 |
The operating data of the cardan shafts, such as max. torque, speed,
deflection angles, lengths etc. must never be exceeded.
|
 |
If cardan shafts are in any way altered without our written consent,
they are no longer covered by our warranty.
|
Cardan shafts of the series COMPACT 2000 are delivered as complete units
ready for installation. The shafts are greased for operation. They are
balanced and painted in accordance with the technical information sheets.
 |
The balance state of a cardan shaft must on no account be altered. An
inadmissable out-of-balance of a shaft may result in uneven running and
premature wear of the joints
and the bearings of the units to which the cardan shaft is connected.
In extreme cases the cardan shaft could break and shaft components
could be thrown at speed from the vehicle or machine.
