KDT Woodworking Automatic Edgebanding Machine Tool - 32*16*180mm Cardan Joint

Need the joint that carries drive on a KDT automatic edgebander without ordering the wrong size? This one is 32 × 16 × 180 mm, steel, painted black, listed against KDT edgebanders, with a 32 × 16 × 70 mm size for the same machines. A NANXING version is also available. Three numbers decide the order: 32, 16 and 180 on the worn part.

A plant running KDT edgebanders meets the same three problems when a joint wears: the line stops while the machine itself is still sound, the replacement ordered from a photograph arrives one size off, and the panel that should have been banded that morning slides to tomorrow's list. This cardan joint is the part that takes all three off the list.

It is the flexible coupling that carries drive from one shaft to the next on a KDT automatic edgebanding machine, where the two shafts do not sit on one straight line. Two yokes and a cross let both shafts keep turning while they work through an angle, so the drive is carried by the joint rather than by a straight coupling that would fight the offset. When the cross and the yokes develop play, the joint is replaced as one part.

The joint is supplied in 32 × 16 × 180 mm, in steel, painted black, so it travels from the stores shelf straight onto the machine. A second size, 32 × 16 × 70 mm, is listed for KDT edgebanders as well, so two positions are covered with one purchase order. The same joint is also available for NANXING machines. Price is quoted per order.

What decides the fit and what the listing covers:

• 32 × 16 × 180 mm on the label — the numbers on the worn joint are the numbers on this page, checked against the old part.
• 32 × 16 × 70 mm for the same machines — the second size is listed for KDT edgebanders, so both positions come off one list.
• Steel body — the joint is specified in steel through the whole part, so the yokes and the cross are metal, not a mixed build.
• Painted black — the finish is applied before dispatch, so the joint arrives ready to fit.
• One joint on the line item — the listing is for a single cardan joint, so the stores sheet carries one item, not a kit list.
• Cardan layout — two yokes and a cross carry drive through a working angle, so the joint follows the shaft offset.
• Made for the KDT edgebander — the joint is listed against KDT automatic edgebanding machines, so the order is placed on model and size.
• NANXING joint on the same list — a NANXING version is available, so a floor running both brands is served from one supplier.
• Quoted per order — price follows the quantity you send, so the quote is written for the count you need rather than one unit.

Two poor options when a joint wears, and where this part sits between them:

• The line restarts on the right size. Because the joint is listed at 32 × 16 × 180 mm with a 32 × 16 × 70 mm companion, the order matches the part that came off the machine instead of a guess taken from a photograph.
• Two positions from one purchase order. Both sizes are listed against KDT edgebanders, so the long and the short joint are bought on one document rather than two purchases weeks apart.
• Steel is the material on every unit. The joint is specified in steel, so the part that takes the drive is the same material on the first unit you buy and on the tenth.
• Painted before it ships. The black finish is applied before dispatch, so no workshop hour goes into preparation before the joint can go onto the machine.
• A spare in the drawer beats a wait. A cardan joint is a wear part that develops play on its cross, so holding one of the two sizes in stores turns a knock into a swap instead of a stopped line.
• One supplier for two machine brands. The KDT joint and the NANXING joint come from the same list, so a mixed floor does not need a second purchase channel for the same part.

Yes, if the machine takes the 32 × 16 × 180 mm joint. The joint is listed against KDT automatic edgebanding machines, and 32 × 16 × 70 mm is on the same listing for the shorter position, so state the size when you order.

Measure the joint that came off, not the gap it sat in. The two sizes are separate parts and one will not take the place of the other, so match 32 × 16 × 180 mm or 32 × 16 × 70 mm against the worn part.

Yes. The NANXING version is available and it is quoted as its own item, so name the machine and the size when you ask and the two are not mixed up.

Steel, with a black painted finish. Material, colour and finishing are all stated on the part record, so what arrives matches what the listing says.

One cardan joint. The listing is for the joint itself, so shafts and fittings that stay on the machine are not part of it and are ordered as separate lines if you need them.

Yes on the current record. The joint is supplied painted black, so colour is part of the part description rather than an option chosen at ordering.

Three things: the machine model, the size on the old joint, and the quantity. With those the quote is written against 32 × 16 × 180 mm or 32 × 16 × 70 mm and no second round of questions is needed.

It is quoted per order, not from a fixed list price. Send the size, the machine model and the quantity, and the price comes back against the same three details.
