Variants of connections
Attaching cardan shafts to various transmissions
and axle assemblies calls for different types of
connections. The following flange types
(ISO standard) are available:
|
XS |
|
 |
Positive engagement
- XS (x-serration), corresponding to
ISO 8667 for gearbox flanges
ISO 12667 for propeller shaft flanges
|
 |
Friction type
- to DIN, corresponding to ISO 7646
- to SAE, corresponding to ISO 7647
|
|
DIN |
|
| |
SAE |
|
The x-serration flange (XS) is gaining ever
wider acceptance on account of its technical and
economical advantages and is set to become the
preferred flange of the future.
The advantages are:
Positive engagement of serrations
Shorter time required for assembly
Bolting simplified
Fewer bolts
Reduced stock complexity
Clearly defined mounting position
Use of self-locking nuts
