High Performance – Torques up to 600 kNm
GEWES low-maintenance universal joint shafts reliably transmit torques of up to 600,000 Nm in numerous industrial applications. Their cardan shafts, with swing diameters ranging from 90 to 435 mm transmit mechanical drive power in industrial applications, such as steel and paper factories. Besides industrail, GEWES also makes universal joints for use in crane systems, materials handling, pump stations, railway and marine applications, and of course, in the automotive and agricultural machinery industry. Wherever torques with an angular offset pose a challenge, GEWES u-joint shafts are an optimal solution for your driveline.
