Industrial Cardan Drive Shaft SWC150BH for Slitting Machine
A compact cardan drive shaft built for slitting line torque transmission, supporting paper, film, and textile converting operations across the UK where installation space is at a premium.
How the SWC150BH Cardan Drive Shaft Works
Construction Materials and Core Components
The main structure transmitting rotational force on this cardan drive shaft is built from alloy steel, selected for high tensile strength, resistance to wear, and durability under continuous industrial use. The compact body geometry of the SWC150BH suits installations where the gap between motor and cutting head is shorter than on a typical heavy-duty converting line.
Positioned at each connection point along the shaft, these joints provide angular flexibility and allow torque to transfer smoothly across different planes. Sealed bearings within each joint reduce friction and extend service life without demanding frequent operator attention.
Strategically placed lubrication points keep internal friction low without requiring constant servicing, and the sealed bearing design means the SWC150BH delivers long-lasting performance with only occasional inspection rather than scheduled daily maintenance.
Technische specificatie
Complete dimensional and performance data for the SWC150BH cardan drive shaft
| Lmin | D1 (js11) | D2 (H7) | D3 | Lm | n-d | k | t | b (h9) | g |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 590 | 13 | 90 | 89 | 80 | 8-13 | 10 | 3 | – | – |
Lmin is the minimum collapsed length of the shaft body. D1, D2, and D3 are reference diameters at the yoke and flange connection points. Lm is the spline engagement length, n-d the bolt hole count and diameter, and k, t, b, g are flange and keyway dimensions used for fitting against the customer’s gearbox or motor housing. A dash indicates the dimension is not applicable to this model size.
Why Slitting Operators Choose the SWC150BH
Performance advantages that show up directly in line uptime and cut quality.
This cardan drive shaft transmits torque efficiently from motor to slitting blades, keeping the cutting process smooth and consistent even on tougher or thicker materials common across UK converting plants.
Occupying less space within the slitting machine structure, the SWC150BH suits retrofits and tight equipment layouts, easing installation and routine maintenance where access is limited.
Flexible joint construction accommodates variations between motor and blade positioning, reducing stress on connected components and supporting smooth power transmission over a long service life.
Alloy steel construction provides the strength to withstand demanding slitting conditions, minimising failure risk and reducing both unplanned downtime and recurring maintenance expenditure.
Sealed bearings and built-in lubrication points deliver long-lasting performance without frequent servicing, saving both time and ongoing maintenance cost across a typical production calendar.
Length, diameter, and flange size can be tailored to suit specific slitting machine requirements, ensuring compatibility with existing systems rather than forcing a generic catalogue fit.
Applications Across UK Converting Industries
Where the SWC150BH cardan drive shaft earns its place on the production floor.
Divides large reels into narrower rolls, with the compact cardan drive shaft fitting tighter machine layouts common on smaller converting lines across the South of England.
Cuts film, sheet, and foil materials into desired widths, supporting accurate slitting of polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC on lighter-duty converting equipment.
Supports lighter metal coil slitting tasks where a compact drive shaft is needed to fit retrofit installations across engineering workshops in the East Midlands.
Cuts fabric rolls into narrower strips for downstream processing, transmitting torque smoothly across compact equipment configurations in textile finishing plants.
Produces customised tapes, labels, and shrink films, fitting compact slitting cells used by smaller packaging converters across the UK supply chain.
Suits retrofit projects on existing converting machinery where a bulkier drive shaft would not fit, supporting upgrades on foils, films, laminates, and nonwoven lines.

Customer Success Story: Textile Finishing Plant, Bristol
“The compact size of the SWC150BH was exactly what we needed. It fitted the existing footprint with no modification and has not given us a single issue since installation.”
“We needed a replacement for a retrofit job with very limited clearance. The team confirmed fit from our drawings before production, and it arrived ready to install.”
“Reliable for our lighter-duty film slitting work, and the sealed bearings genuinely have meant less maintenance attention than the shaft it replaced.”
