32x16x180mm Edge Banding Machine Spare Parts Gear Box Cardan Joint For KDT

Looking for the cardan joint that drives the shaft out of the gear box on a KDT automatic edge banding machine? This one is 180 mm long, 32 mm outside diameter, 16 mm bore, with a 60 mm inner shaft, all metal in a black finish. It goes into the same position as the worn part, so nothing on the machine is cut or adapted. Measure the old joint at those four points before you order, and send the quantity for a price.

Three things go wrong once the gear box cardan joint on an automatic edge bander wears: the drive stops turning evenly and the glue line wanders, a knock comes at every revolution, and when the joint lets go the machine stands while a replacement travels. This 32x16x180mm cardan joint sits in that position on a KDT automatic edge banding machine, to the same four dimensions as the part it replaces.

It is a double-yoke joint: a yoke at each end, a cross pin held by a retaining screw, a 32 mm outer diameter boss, and a 16 mm bore for the gear box shaft. End to end it measures 180 mm, with 60 mm of inner shaft reaching into the yoke, so it bridges gear box and driven shaft without a spacer.

The body is metal and finished black, which is what a glue tank drive expects from a part turning all shift. Two yokes take the angle at both ends, so a shaft that is not perfectly parallel still runs without binding the cross pin.

Custom spare parts are made to customer's requirements: send the drawing or the worn joint and the size is matched to it. Price is quoted per order, so send machine model, quantity and the size being replaced.

Every figure below is a dimension of the part you are replacing, not a nominal size:

• 32 mm outer diameter — the boss seats in the gear box housing bore, so the joint cannot rock sideways in its seat once it is fitted.
• 16 mm bore — this is the shaft size the yoke slides onto; the cross pin and its retaining screw then hold the yoke square on that 16 mm shaft.
• 180 mm overall length — measured end to end across both yokes, and this single figure sets the distance between the gear box and the driven shaft.
• 60 mm inner shaft — the engagement inside the yoke that keeps the joint in line when the two shafts are not perfectly parallel.
• Two yokes, one part — a yoke with a cross pin at each end takes the angular offset in both directions, so one joint covers what a straight coupling cannot.
• Metal body, black finish — the whole part is metal and coated black, which keeps the surface uniform on a glue tank drive that turns all shift.
• KDT position — listed for KDT automatic edge banding machines, and it also serves other automatic edge banders that use the same gear box layout.
• Made to your drawing — custom spare parts are available to customer's requirements when the original part is not 32x16x180mm.

With a worn joint the choice usually comes down to two bad options: wait for an original part while the machine stands, or fit a universal joint that does not match the shaft.

• Back in production in one fit. The joint drops into the existing position at 180 mm end to end, so no shaft is cut and no adapter is machined.
• The play stops where it starts. A 16 mm bore held by a retained cross pin keeps the yoke square on the shaft.
• One part, two directions. Two yokes take the offset at both ends, so a single item handles misalignment a straight coupling cannot.
• No guesswork on size. Four dimensions, 32 mm, 16 mm, 60 mm and 180 mm, can be checked against the old part with a caliper before ordering.
• Matched to the machine. The joint is listed against KDT automatic edge banding machines, so bore and length follow that gear box rather than a catalogue average.
• A spare can sit on the shelf. At 180 mm long it fits in the maintenance store, so a knock at start-up does not become a stopped line.
• A non-standard size is not a dead end. Custom spare parts are made to customer's requirements, so a machine with a different gear box layout is still covered.

Yes, if the worn joint measures 32 mm outside diameter, 16 mm bore and 180 mm end to end. Those three figures decide the fit; the part is listed for KDT automatic edge banding machines, so the gear box position is the one it was made for.

Measure the old part at four points with a caliper: 32 mm outside diameter, 16 mm bore, 60 mm inner shaft and 180 mm overall length. If the four numbers match 32x16x180mm, the joint goes straight in.

Only if both the bore and the length match. A generic joint with a 20 mm bore or a different length will not seat on a 16 mm shaft, so the 32 mm, 16 mm and 180 mm figures have to be checked first.

Metal, with a black finish over the whole body. That is the material the part is listed under, and it is what a glue tank drive turning all shift is built around.

Play at the yoke is the first sign. If the driven shaft can be rocked by hand while the gear box is still, or a knock comes at every revolution, the cross pin and bore have opened up and the joint needs replacing.

Yes. Custom spare parts are made to customer's requirements. Send a drawing or the worn joint with its four dimensions and the size is matched to it instead of to the 32x16x180mm standard.

Price is quoted per order, so there is no fixed figure on the page. Send the machine model, the size you are replacing and the quantity you want, and the quotation comes back against that.

Yes. The same range covers edge banding machine spare parts such as press rollers, conveyance chain pads, guillotine blades, glue pots and trimming motors, so one order can cover more than the cardan joint.
