Terex

Online catalogue of TEREX cardan shafts for heavy machinery

In this section we offer a specialised range of TEREX cardan shafts, essential components to ensure the correct transmission of engine torque in dumpers, cranes and industrial vehicles. These parts are selected to provide precise mechanical compatibility, allowing the driveline system functionality to be restored in machinery subjected to high traction and load demands.

Our spare parts are geared towards professional workshops, public works mechanics and fleet managers who require reliable solutions for heavy equipment maintenance. Purchasing the right replacement part is essential to avoid prolonged technical downtime and ensure that the machinery continues to operate with the efficiency and safety required by construction and mining projects.

Key criteria for choosing the cardan shaft

• OEM reference: Check the original part number in the exploded parts manual or on the plate of the old cardan shaft to ensure exact equivalence.
• Working length: Verify the driveshaft measurements both in the compressed and extended positions to ensure fitment in the chassis.
• Flange type: Check the outer diameter of the flanges and the layout of the mounting holes for a secure connection to the differential or gearbox.
• Machine model: Confirm that the component is compatible with your specific TEREX vehicle model (articulated dumper, rigid, etc.).
• Torque capacity: Make sure the replacement meets the torsional strength specifications required by the engine power.

Frequently asked questions

How do I identify the correct cardan shaft for my TEREX machine?

The most reliable way is to locate the reference engraved on the body of the old shaft or consult the manufacturer’s spare parts list. If the code is illegible, you will need to take precise measurements of the overall length, joint type and the dimensions of the coupling flanges.

When is it necessary to replace the complete driveshaft?

Replacement is recommended when intense vibrations are detected in the cab, metallic noises occur when setting off or during load changes, and there is excessive play in the splines or universal joints that cannot be repaired individually. An unbalanced cardan shaft can damage other transmission components.

Do the shafts come ready for installation?

As a rule, cardan shafts are supplied assembled and dynamically balanced for direct installation. However, it is important to review each product sheet to confirm whether additional lubrication is required or if specific bolts must be used before commissioning.

What should I do if I can’t find the exact reference in the catalogue?

Spare parts stock for heavy machinery varies frequently. If you cannot find your part on the website, we suggest contacting our customer service team to check the availability of cross-references or to enquire about the possibility of stock replenishment for your specific model.
