Flange boltings

To connect the cardan shaft to the companion flanges it is imperative to use high-tensile bolts of the quality 10.9 and the corresponding all-metal self-locking nuts of the quality 10 or such bolts and nuts that the manufacturer of the vehicle has prescribed. Complete sets of bolting are available for all DIN and cross-Serrations flanges.

The tightening torques Ta given in the table are valid for:
90% utilization of the elastic limit
bolts in a lightly-oiled condition (Friction coefficient µ ges. = 0,13).
metallic bare surface areas


Do not use molycote paste or any other grease on the bolts and nuts.
For additional information on flange connections, corrosion protection, assembly and dismantling see our specification GWB-A 100-005.



Companion flanges
Generally cardan shafts are connected to the units by companion flanges. The companion flange material must have an interfacial pressure of min. 700 N/mm²
