No machine element other than a cardan shaft allows power transmission of torque between spacially offset driving and driven shafts whose position can be changed during operation.

Spatial angular motion and changes of axial length are ensured by advanced constructional elements.

Thus, cardan shafts have become an indispensable transmission component in automotive engineering and industry.
