Trucks, buses, automobiles and industrial equipment are negatively affected by the intrinsic weight, vibrational characteristics and critical speed of metal driveshafts. It has been proven that composite driveshafts are effective in overcoming these limitations. Indeed, the very nature of the composite materials (fiber and resinous binder) allow driveshafts to be designed to meet specific critical operational characteristics, and thus tailored to match the requirements of individual applications.
