The vibrating screen cardan shaft plays a critical role in transmitting rotational motion from the motor to the screen assembly, ensuring smooth and efficient operation of vibrating screens in various industrial applications. Proper maintenance and alignment are essential to maximize performance and prolong the lifespan of the equipment.

Vibrating Screen Cardan Shaft Function

Transmission of Motion: The cardan shaft transmits rotational motion from the motor or drive system to the eccentric weights or unbalanced flywheels attached to the screen assembly. This motion creates the vibration necessary for material separation and classification on the screen.

Flexibility and Alignment: The universal joints in the cardan shaft provide flexibility and allow for slight misalignments between the motor and the screen assembly. This flexibility helps to reduce stress on the system and ensures smooth operation, even in challenging conditions.

Balanced Operation: Proper balancing of the cardan shaft is essential to prevent excessive vibration, noise, and premature wear on components. Balancing ensures that the rotational motion is evenly distributed across the screen assembly, resulting in efficient screening performance.

Maintenance and Inspection: Regular inspection and maintenance of the cardan shaft are necessary to ensure its proper functioning. This includes checking for signs of wear, lubricating the universal joints, and ensuring that the shaft is properly aligned with the motor and screen assembly.

Compatibility and Sizing: The cardan shaft must be properly sized and designed to handle the specific requirements of the vibrating screen, including the size and weight of the screen assembly, the amplitude and frequency of vibration, and the power of the motor or drive system.

Advantages of universal cardon shaft

1. The use of expansion sleeves makes it easy to manufacture and install the host parts. The processing of the shaft and hole for installing the expansion sleeve does not require high-precision manufacturing tolerances like the interference fit. No heating, cooling or pressurizing equipment is needed when installing the expansion sleeve, just tighten the bolts according to the required torque. The adjustment is convenient, and the hub can be conveniently adjusted to the desired position on the shaft. The expansion sleeve can also be used to connect parts with poor weldability.

2. The expansion sleeve has a longer service life and high strength. The expansion sleeve relies on friction transmission, and there is no keyway weakening to the connected parts, and there is no relative movement, and there will be no wear during work.

3. When the expansion sleeve is overloaded, the connection will be lost, which can protect the equipment from damage.

4. The universal joint shaft can bear multiple loads, and its structure can be made into a variety of styles. According to the size of the installation load, multiple expansion sleeves can also be used in series.

5. The expansion sleeve is easy to disassemble and has good interchangeability. Since the expansion sleeve can combine the shaft hub with a larger fit gap, the bolts are loosened when disassembling, so that the connected parts can be easily disassembled. When swelling, the contact surface is close and easy to fit and not rust, and it is also convenient to disassemble.
