At Agritechnica, the spotlight is focused on the Plus models, a range of cardan shafts signed by the Abruzzo company Eurocardan (the headquarters are in Atessa, in the province of Chieti).  Available in sizes 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 (with power up to 400 Hp), the Plus cardan shafts stand out for the performance and reliability of the crosslink, and above all for a state-of-the-art constructive profile. The real winning card of these cardans is represented by the crosslinks made of high quality materials, able to withstand even the most stressed strains, and other components designed by Eurocardan technicians to withstand the toughest applications. This is another reason why the Plus cardan shaft is particularly beneficial for professional users. Long lubrication intervals (up to 50 hours, according to manufacturer’s data), printed steel forks, support ferrules for the protective cuffs with graphitized material, York profile pipes (compatible with using the transmission in applications characterized by higher torque peaks) are the main strengths of this range. Among the technical features of Plus cardans we should mention the new gaskets that extend the service intervals and the protections that can withstand wear and tear as well as the weather elements.
