These will act as a guide when selecting and ordering any spare parts by showing assembly lay- out, part name and individual components. However, it should be noted that many compon- ents listed cannot be purchased separately, but as subassemblies. For instance, when encountering a defective joint bearing, it would be pointless to replace only the bearing housing. The entire cross- kit assembly must be replaced. The same concept applies for the spline assembly, since the spline shaft and spline hub are subjected to the same wear rates. The following pages show the most important components and / or replacement subassemblies with their respective ordering numbers and moun- ting dimensions. Only cross-kits intended for use at large deflection angles will be equipped with thrust washers (item 15 on the following page). Please note the written notations placed above the different design opti- ons, such as „standard type“, „type for external lu- brication“, etc. These notations also apply to other components. Each Elbe Cardan Shaft is dynamically balanced. When worn parts are replaced on high speed shafts, rebalancing is required. Repaired Cardan Shafts operating at low speeds do not require reba- lancing. As a general rule, depending on the U-joint size, configuration and application, rebalancing will not be required at operating speeds between 500 and 800 rpm. Upon request, we will send repair instructions for replacing cross kits on Cardan Shafts and Joints.
