To prevent personal injury and damage to the cardan shafts always make sure that the shafts are safely transported and stored. |
|
Please observe the following precautions: |
|
 |
Use strong nylon ropes or lifting belts. When using steel cords, protect the edges. |
|
Cardan shafts should be transported in a horizontal position (see illustration).
For non-horizontal transportation additional precautions must be taken to prevent
the splined parts from separating.
Danger of injury! 
|
|
When lifting or putting down the shaft, the moving parts (flange yoke and journal cross)
may tilt and lead to injuries.
Keep hands away from the joint! Danger of crushed hands! |
|
Avoid bumps and knocks during transport and storage. |
|
Do not store or handle the shaft with any stress or load on the cover tube
(1).
|
|
Use appropriate frames or racks for storage (see example).
When cardan shafts are stored on pallets stacked up on top of one another, the supports must be one below the other because otherwise the tubes may bend and the result may be uneven running or imbalance of the shaft. The supports may only be used in the area of cardan tubes and never in the area of the cover tube or the length compensation. 
|
|
When cardan shafts are stored in an upright position, make sure they cannot fall over. |
|
Keep cardan shafts in a dry place. |
|
Transport and storage of Centered Double Cardan Shafts In order to prevent any exessive deflection of the double joint and thus damage to the location bearing during transport, the cardan shaft is provided with a transport protection device which encloses the double joint. 
|
|
|
|
The transport protection device must not be removed until the cardan shaft is installed.
Use appropriate frames or racks for storage.
Use chocks or blocks to prevent cardan shaft from rolling.
Secure shaft against falling over if it is stored in a vertical position.
