s product
capabilities, combined with products from other
Dana divisions, allow the Group to provide everything from individual products to complete,
balanced drivetrains.
Wing bearing design driveshafts are characterized by the fact that the transfer of the torque
occurs through mechanical allowance, by
means of keys placed on the bearing blocks.
The keys are mated to corresponding slots machined on the connecting fitting yokes.
This feature offers great advantages for all those
applications characterised by continuous load
variations or subject to shock loads.

"WING BEARING" or "C - Positive type" driveshafts
Spicer Italcardano driveshafts main feature is that torque transfer occurs through
mechanical drive, by means of keys placed on the bearing blocks .
These keys are mated to corresponding slots machined on connecting fitting
yokes.
This feature offers great advantages for all those applications characterized by
continuous load variations or shock loads.
The main benefit of having bearing blocks directly connected to output flanges
are:
•
•
•
•
•
Extremely high flexibility of use
Fitting for all applications with short application lengths
Smaller joints working angles
Quicker dismantling of the whole shaft (4 bolts each side)
U-joint kits can be disassembled and replaced without dismantling the
whole shaft making field maintenance easier
This type of driveshaft is already an established leader. A series of end fittings are available to facilitate its utilization.

Spicer Italcardano can supply a wide range of Wing Style end fittings; these can
be also supplied semi-finished in case the customer prefers to machine the parts
or due to broaches availability. In this case it is necessary that connecting dimensions meet specifications listed in the table herebelow. This allows the best
working conditions, avoiding vibrations to appear or premature wear of the u-joint
bearings. Quotations can be submitted upon request.

Double centered joints are designed for high and variable angle requirements. By
dividing the angle between two coupled yokes equally at any total angle between
zero and the maximum operating angle, constant velocity is always produced on
the driven shaft in any position.
Constant velocity joint is basically two standard single-cardan joints connected in
phase by a coupling yoke .
A unique centering device divides the angle between the shafts in two equal angles.
The result is constant velocity, so this CV can eliminate many vibration problems
related to single cardan driveshafts.
These vibrations can cause intermittent stress levels that exceed by far design limits of transmission, differential gears or other components.
In a conventional driveshaft assembly the majority of shaft mass does not operate
at constant velocity and at high speeds damaging vibrations can result from torsional and inertial forces even at moderate angularity.
At high angularity and torques, these vibrations are caused by secondary couple
loads even at low speeds.
In either case the CV is designed to eliminate the vibration and resulting stress
peaks since the shaft mass operates at constant velocity.
Above parts are special and available upon request to be evaluated by Spicer Italcardano.

Wing Style universal joint kits
Universal joint kits used on the Spicer Italcardano range of driveshafts meet the
international standards. They may be used to connect all mechanical components
having this type of connection.
Fine manufacturing finishing and heat treatment process contribute to reach an
increased durability.
All universal joints can be supplied in the following executions:
•
•
Re-lube type (grease nipple fitted)
Service Free type SF (pre-lube, no maintenance required no grease
nipple)

Cardan shaft applications and theory
Theory regarding cardan shafts can be found in a lot of manufacturer'
s brochures
and it is worldwide well known among the automotive and off highway engineers.
We decided therefore to make this brochure of very simple use by listing only the
most important concepts to be taken into consideration.
Driveshaft selection - Application form
Later on forms for vehicular and industrial applications are enclosed, to be filled
out for a correct selection/sizing.
Beside a vehicle drivetrain layout should be provided with the following information:
•
•
•
Minimum and maximum working length for each driveshaft
Minimum and maximum working angle for each driveshaft
Connecting dimensions to the mating components
Besides the data of the form, in order to perform an accurate bearing life estimation, it is necessary to provide a "duty cycle" representing the average working
conditions of the driveshafts for such specific application.
In order to provide a full product warranty any application must be submitted to Spicer Driveshaft by using the application forms enclosed hereinafter, for a technical approval.

Torque capacities
Functional limit torque TCS : is the torque the driveshaft can be loaded without
loss of operational capability such as yielding of one of the shaft parts, plastic deformation affecting the driveline kinematics negatively, plastic deformation of the
components of the spider affecting the durability.

Critical bending speed
Since the propeller shaft is an elastic rotary body it is mandatory to check the maximum critical bending speed, which must be sufficiently lower than:
Nc =
167 ⋅ Dm
L2
Nc = driveshaft critical bending speed [rpm]
Dm = tube average diameter [mm]
L = distance between joint centers [m]
Nc must be considered as theoretical critical bending speed of the driveshaft, but
for safety reasons maximum operating speed must not exceed 70% of the above
calculated speed.
nperm.max ≤ 0 . 7 ⋅ N c
nperm. max = maximum permissible operating speed [rpm]
Damages caused by failure due to critical bending speed can be very dangerous
therefore particular care has to be dedicated to this subject.
Deflection angle and speed (β
β x n)
Because of the kinematic behaviour of the center part of the driveshaft during the
operation, a certain mass acceleration moment must not be exceeded if a quite
running is desired.
This mass acceleration moment depends on angle deflection β, speed n and the
mass moment of inertia of the center part of the driveshaft.
Practically the following product angle x speed (β x n) must not be exceeded:

Driveshafts balancing
Balancing is performed to compensate mass eccentricity, therefore preventing vibrations and overloads on downstream units as a result of centrifugal forces.
The operation is carried out according to standard ISO 1940. Quality grade depends on process accuracy and repeatability which are influenced by:
•
•
•
•
Measuring system accuracy (rigid, or soft suspension)
Type of balancing machine
Mounting tolerances
Angular play for longitudinal direction
All these factors together may lead to inaccuracies of up to 80%, therefore while
factory balancing grade is G16, customer verification tests at their own rigs
should be carried out at G32 quality.

Installation and maintenance instructions
Most of Spicer Italcardano driveshafts have a permanent lube sliding section (due
to an anti friction coating of the spline) which does not require re-greasing for the
entire operating life.
In case of special arrangement with spline zerk fitted we suggest to re-grease
while the shaft is in fully collapsed position, pumping no more than 30 grams of
grease.
Service Free universal joints do not require maintenance.
Re-lube u-joints need to be regreased at least every 12 months or 2000 hrs
(whichever occurs first) unless unfavourable environmental conditions lead to
shorten that period.
Re-lube operating instructions
1. Clean zerk head very carefully from dirt
2. Universal joints: pump grease until it purges out of all spider bearing block
seals
3. Sliding section: pump no more than 30 grams of grease
Grease: Lithium complex soap PAO EP2 according to spec DIN51825-KP2-K-20

Handling and Assembling instructions
Warning
All below recommendations must be considered only as general instructions for
assembling, disassembling and maintenance of driveshafts: Dana Corporation
shall not be liable either directly or indirectly for what has been indicated.
Whoever will carry out described operations will do it by taking the whole responsibility of the consequence of his behaviour.
All the above operations must be carried out by skilled and qualified personnel
only.
Driveshafts are components that can cause damages and injuries to things and
persons during the operation, even if they are correctly sized and installed.
Therefore end users must take all necessary precautions to prevent and avoid
such damages by installing, if necessary, specific protections/shelters.
Handling
Wrong driveshafts handling such as shocks and impacts may cause serious damages and compromise correct functionality.
They must be always handled horizontally by fixing with adequate ropes as
shown below.
Always make sure that shafts cannot fall or roll when moved and do not rest it against the sealing section of protective tube. Do not remove or damage balancing
plates welded to the driveshaft.
35
General assembly rules
Do not damage or tamper with components of the driveshaft as it is supplied.
During assembly take all necessary precautions against accidental falls or unexpected sudden movements of the driveshaft.
Take care of cleaning mating faces as far as lubricants, rust, paint and dirt is concerned.
Remove any safety wire that has been set against accidental coming out during
transportation.
Do not force with levers or other tools, especially in the universal joint area.
Make sure to use good quality attaching hardware such as high grade fasteners
as regards dimensions, surface treatment, strength and assure a correct tightening torque is applied by using dynamometric wrench crosswise.
Rigid (non sliding) driveshafts must be connected to a sliding flange at least one
side.
In case of painting sliding driveshafts the area where spline seal seats must be
masked (not painted).
Assembly - Operating instructions
1. Insert keyway and pilot diameter of one universal joint into corresponding female faces of the mating flange/yoke
2. Be sure that male/female mating faces are completely coupled together to
their final position by using a rubber or wooden hammer (see picture below)
3. Insert bolts and tight at specified torque being sure that they are free of grease and dirt which could compromise clamping force to be reached.
4. Repeat item 1, 2 and 3 for the universal joint at the other side.
The metal wire which secures bearing blocks in their positions during transportation has no influence on shaft functionality, therefore removal is not necessary.
