When precision is non-negotiable, experience matters. Bradbri has spent decades engineering high-reliability mechanical components for defence, mining, and heavy industry — industries where every tolerance, every material specification, and every component is critical to the performance and safety of the systems they support.
Whether you need a reverse engineered obsolete component, a custom prototype developed from scratch, or a full production run of precision mechanical assemblies, Bradbri has the capability, the equipment, and the commitment to deliver to your exact specification — on time, every time. When you choose Bradbri, you choose an engineering partner that takes your requirements as seriously as you do.

A cardan shaft is a complete driveline assembly typically consisting of a steel tube with universal joints at each end. It transmits torque between the gearbox and differential — or between any two rotating components that are not perfectly aligned. Cardan shafts are used in vehicles, mining equipment, industrial machinery, and defence vehicles.
Yes. We manufacture cardan shafts and prop shafts directly from your engineering drawings — any length, any configuration, any flange or yoke specification. Upload your drawing via our contact page and we will respond with a quotation within 1 business day.
Yes. Every cardan shaft and prop shaft we manufacture is dynamically balanced to ISO standards before delivery. Correct dynamic balancing eliminates vibration, reduces wear on driveline components, and ensures smooth performance throughout the service life of the shaft.
Yes. Bradbri has decades of experience manufacturing cardan shafts and driveline assemblies for military and armoured vehicle applications. We manufacture to defence-grade tolerances and apply the same rigorous quality standards to every driveline assembly we produce for defence clients.
We manufacture single replacement cardan shafts with no minimum order quantity. Whether you need one urgent replacement shaft or an ongoing batch supply, our process and quality standard remains exactly the same on every order.
Yes. We offer cardan shaft refurbishment — replacing worn universal joints, re-machining yoke faces, and re-balancing the complete assembly to original specification. Refurbishment is often significantly more cost-effective than a full replacement shaft and is carried out to the same quality standard.
