Overview
Product Description
G42 brings the CV joint constant-velocity advantage to the S42 torque class — 1,400 Nm at 540 rpm at angles up to 80 degrees. The 42×104.5 mm cross kit in G42 is unique to this series; workshop tooling (pressing fixtures, snap-ring pliers) sized for the 42 mm pin is required for G42 service. This tooling is not shared with any lower G Series model. For workshops adding G42, tooling investment is a prerequisite.
G42 occupies the torque gap between G7 (970 Nm) and G50 (1,905 Nm) in wide-angle CV joint configuration, equivalent to S42’s position in the standard-cardan S Series range. It is specified where S9 is at its torque limit and S10 tube OD is too large for the implement housing — now with the additional requirement of high-angle CV joint operation.
G42 is a higher-specification, lower-volume series. Stock availability confirmation is recommended before committing to a delivery schedule. For OEM contracts and blanket order arrangements, contact Ever-Power Drive Line.
G Series vs Standard Cardan Shaft — G42 Comparison
| Feature | G Series (This Shaft) | T / L / S Series |
|---|---|---|
| Joint Type | CV Wide Angle Joint | Standard Cardan Joint |
| Max Operating Angle | 80° (CV end) | 25° continuous |
| Velocity Output | Constant velocity | Cyclic variation above 6° |
| Vibration at High Angles | Zero — eliminated | Increases with angle |
| Torque Class | 1,400 Nm @540 rpm | Equivalent S42 |
| Cross Kit | 42×104.5 mm | Same as equivalent T/S Series |
| Cross Kit Cross-Reference | Shared with S42 | As labelled |
Assembly Diagram — Component Reference
Component 1 is the CV wide angle joint — the key G Series differentiator from T/L/S Series
☈ Component 1: CV Wide Angle Joint
The CV (constant velocity) joint replaces the standard cross joint at the tractor end. It uses a ball-and-socket mechanism to deliver perfectly smooth, constant-velocity output at angles up to 80 degrees — eliminating the speed fluctuation that standard cardan joints produce above 6 degrees.

Key Features
80° Wide Angle CV Joint
The G Series CV joint allows operation at angles up to 80 degrees at the tractor end — more than three times the 25-degree limit of standard T, L, and S Series cardan joints. This enables G Series shafts in front-mounted implement drives, close-coupled mounts, and any application where the shaft angle regularly exceeds the standard cardan limit.
Constant Velocity Output
Standard cardan joints produce a sinusoidal speed variation at the output — the output shaft rotates faster then slower with each revolution, proportional to the operating angle. The G Series CV joint eliminates this variation, delivering perfectly constant-velocity output at any angle up to 80 degrees. This prevents vibration and eliminates implement gearbox acceleration fatigue.
Sealed Cross-Kit Bearings — IP67
Double-lip sealed needle-roller cross-kit bearing cups at the implement end, factory-filled with EP2 lithium complex grease. Grease nipple accessible with shield in place. Rated for 350+ hours between maintenance interventions under normal field conditions.
CE Safety Shield — Standard
CE-marked UV-stabilised HDPE bellows guard. CV joint end fitted with a flexible boot that accommodates the full 80-degree joint movement while protecting the CV joint grease cavity from contamination. OECD Code 4 compliant. Included as standard with every G Series unit.
Forged 20CrMnTi Steel Yokes
Drop-forged chromium-manganese-titanium alloy steel yokes, normalised and induction-hardened at bearing seat journals. The high-angle CV joint body is machined from the same alloy to the same surface hardness specification.
CE + ISO Certification Package
CE Declaration of Conformity, ISO 9001:2015, TS/16949 process certificate, LGPD compliance documentation. SGS third-party batch inspection available on contract orders.
Typical Applications
G Series CV joint — 90–130 hp tractor class at operating angles up to 80°
Large Disc Mowers — 100–130 hp High-Angle
G42 delivers S42-class torque (1,400 Nm) with CV joint constant-velocity output for large disc mowers in the 100–130 hp class where operating angles exceed the standard cardan joint limit.
Large Square Baler — Wide-Angle Configuration
Large square baler configurations where the baler hitch geometry creates high PTO shaft angles at the 42 mm bore class — applications where S42 standard cardan produces unacceptable vibration.
Heavy Industrial Wide-Angle PTO Drive
Heavy industrial rotary applications requiring both the S42 torque class and high-angle constant-velocity operation — where T9/S9 torque is insufficient and S10/G50 is overspecified.
Installation and Maintenance
Inspect the CV joint boot and anchor safety chains at both ends before first use
Confirm Torque Class
Calculate implement torque demand + 20% margin. Select the lowest G Series that meets the adjusted Nm figure.
Verify Operating Angle
Measure the maximum shaft angle at the tractor end at all implement positions. G Series handles up to 80° at the CV end; 25° at the implement cardan end.
Adjust Working Length
Verify 50 mm tube overlap at max implement height; 80 mm engagement at minimum. Tubes must not bottom out.
Inspect CV Joint Boot
Before first use, confirm the CV boot is correctly seated and both clamps are tight. A loose boot causes immediate CV joint contamination.
Anchor Safety Chains and Engage
Connect safety chains to non-rotating points. Engage PTO at low throttle first to verify smooth CV joint operation before running at full speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- —G42 has a CV joint (80 degree max angle, constant velocity) — S42 has standard cardan (25 degree max)
- —Both use the same 42×104.5 mm cross kit and identical torque ratings
- —G42 costs more due to the CV joint assembly — use S42 where angle is within 25 degrees
- —Yes — 42 mm pin diameter tooling (pressing tool, snap-ring pliers) is required
- —Not shared with G8 (35 mm), G38 (38 mm), or G50 (41 mm)
- —S42 uses the same tooling as G42 — workshops stocking S42 are already equipped
- —G42 is available — confirm availability before committing to delivery timeline
- —Lead time typically 12–18 days from stock
- —Blanket order for OEM contracts ensures priority allocation
- —Double CV joint is available as OEM option for G42
- —MOQ 20 pieces; lead time 30–35 days
- —Specify double-CV at order — standard G42 stock is single CV at tractor end
- —G42 cross kit code: 42.01 (Ø42×104.5 mm)
- —Shared with S42 — same dimensions, one part number covers both
- —Order by code when sourcing replacement cross kits
