Cardan shafts - CARDANWORKS
Most machines and machinery are driven by means of a cardan shaft.
CARDANWORKS is Sicit’s cardan drive shaft division. Components and cardan shafts made by CARDANWORKS can also be selected and designed on request with due consideration for technical and economic aspects.
Each cardan shaft is unique. There are cardan shafts for motion transmission in vehicles, paper machines, metal industry, mining, etc. For the automotive Aftermarket specifically, we supply the entire cardan shaft drive and its components: crosses, supports, flanges, yokes or sliding elements.

We take care of everything
A broken cardan shaft does not necessarily require total replacement. Most cardan shaft failures involve only a part of the cardan shaft being damaged.
Preventive action can therefore save investment and money.
