Heavy duty cardan shafts are nothing but Mechanical components designed to withstand the demands of industrial machinery, commercial vehicles, and off-road equipment. Like Other Shafts they are engineered to transmit power efficiently at spaces where the moment requires high torque or heavy movements are to be made. MND AUTO INDUSTRIES are the leading manufacturers and Exporters of Cardan Shafts and Propeller Shafts based in India.

Ø Components and Construction
These shafts typically consist of several key components:
Pipe: Usually made of high-strength steel or alloy, shafts form the backbone of the cardan assembly.
Universal Joint Cross: These joints, often referred to as Cross, allow for angular movement and compensate for misalignment.
Yokes: Yokes connect the universal Joint cross to the shafts, providing a secure interface.
Cross Holder: It support the rotating elements of the shaft, the part that joints the other side of the cross to the area of application.
Ø Applications of MND Heavy Duty Cardan Shafts
1. Industrial Machinery: In industrial settings, heavy duty cardan shafts are integral to various applications, including:
Steel Rolling Mills: Transferring power between rollers and machinery in steel production processes.
Mining Equipment: Enabling torque transmission in heavy-duty mining vehicles and machinery.
Paper Mills: Facilitating the movement of rollers and components in paper manufacturing.
2. Commercial Vehicles: In the automotive sector, MND heavy duty cardan shafts are essential components in:
Trucks and Trailers: Transmitting power from the engine to the wheels, ensuring efficient propulsion.
Buses and Coaches: Facilitating smooth transmission of torque in large passenger vehicles.
3. Off-road Equipment: Heavy duty cardan shafts also find extensive use in off-road and specialty vehicles, including:
Agricultural Machinery: Powering implements such as plows, harvesters, and balers in agricultural applications.
Construction Equipment: Enabling torque transmission in excavators, loaders, and cranes at construction sites.

Ø Advantages of Heavy Duty Cardan Shafts
Robustness and Durability
MND Heavy duty cardan shafts are engineered to withstand extreme operating conditions, including high torque, heavy loads, and harsh environments. Their robust construction ensures longevity and reliability, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
Flexibility and Versatility
One of the key advantages of MND cardan shafts is their ability to accommodate angular misalignment between the two ends. This flexibility makes them suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries, where precise alignment may not always be feasible.
Efficient Power Transmission
By virtue of their design, MND heavy duty cardan shafts offer efficient torque transmission with minimal power loss. This ensures optimal performance and productivity in diverse operational scenarios, enhancing overall efficiency.
Maintenance and Considerations
With nearly 70 years’ experience, Dana brand GWB™ has been pioneering the development of driveshafts in a fast-moving market. Focusing on technical innovation, premium performance, durability and flexibility, GWB™ delivers shafts for mobile and industrial applications to both OEMs and aftermarket customers.
Securing a leading position in the market is the fruit of a talented team of engineers and a global network of technical centers and manufacturing facilities. The vast range of cardan shafts have been developed for countless applications and cover a torque range going from 2,400 Nm to 16,300,000 Nm.
Two types of cardan shaft are built: closed and split bearing eye.The closed bearing eye design is found predominantly in the mobile sector and for general mechanical engineering applications and includes the GWB™ Series 687/688 and 587 shafts. The split bearing eye type is developed specifically for heavy and super-heavy-duty applications. Featured shafts include the GWB™ Series 390/392/393 and 492/498 versions. Characteristically compact, these high-performance shafts ensure maximum torque transmission capabilities, greatly improved service life and facilitate assembly and maintenance operations.
Numerous factors must be held in consideration when selecting a driveshaft. This means we play a key role in advising our customers during the feasibility study for a project. Our team of expert engineers use special software to precisely calculate the correct size of the shaft and joint for each application. This is the only way we can be sure of bringing you the lasting solution to your needs.
As a key international brand within the market, GWB™ has been leading the field for many decades in the design and manufacture of an extensive range of drive shafts for the toughest applications. With a strong focus on engineering excellence, GWB™ has a culture for precision and reliability, typical of German industrial companies who merge the quality of tradition with a vision for progress and innovation.
Over 70 years’ experience adapting to evolving customer requirements and pioneering the development of market-leading drive shafts, Dana brand GWB™ is committed to delivering quality. Quality is achieved when performance exceeds the expectations of a customer, durability goes beyond the expected lifecycle of a product and above all when the solution is definitive.
We pride ourselves on these aspects and ensure each customer benefits from our philosophy regarding quality, never falling short of their expectations.
For many years we have been investing in initiatives within the company and on the production floor to constantly improve our manufacturing standards and service standards which our customers can count on. Today we have obtained certification which rewards these ongoing efforts and furthermore we are able to rely on the quality-oriented mentality of Dana to consolidate our high standards.
