A completely revised product catalog describing its line of universal joint shafts is now available from the drive specialist Voith Turbo. The catalog contains not only technical data on universal joint shafts, but also presents complementing products and services. The operating principle of a universal joint shaft is explained and selection aids assist with choosing the correct shaft from the catalog.

Voith universal joint shafts are not simple pieces of machinery, but rather high-tech mechanical products that can transmit torques far in excess of 10,000 kNm – this is about 40,000 times the torque generated by the engine in a mid-sized automobile. The largest shafts sometimes weigh more than 50 metric tons and have a diameter of 1.30 meters. Such high-performance universal joint shafts are used primarily in rolling mills in the steel industry. Universal joint shafts from Voith are also found in paper machines, locomotives, marine propulsion applications and test stands.

When preparing the catalog, Voith Turbo incorporated many of the suggestions made by customers: a well-organized presentation of the different shafts in the product line, detailed technical data for use in project planning, cross-references to complementing products and services, explanation of the operating principle of a universal joint shaft and, last but not least, extensive selection aids – this catalog contains everything needed. Initially, the booklet will be available in German, English, French, Russian and Chinese. Additional languages will be printed as the need arises.
