About Flexible Shafts
Flexible shafts provide rotary power transmission along curved or adjustable axes. They are used in a wide variety of remote control, valve actuation, and power transmission applications. There are two basic types of flexible shafts: unidirectional and bidirectional. Unidirectional shafts rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction as viewed from the motor or drive-end of the shaft. They are used for power transmission along non-linear axes in industrial automation, heavy-duty, and specialized applications such as agricultural equipment, speedometers, dentistry, woodworking, and jewelry tools. Bidirectional flexible shafts can be rotated in either direction or reversed. They are well-balanced in both directions and suitable for cyclic applications. Some flexible shafts are corrosion resistant or can withstand environmental contaminants such as dust, fluid, and oil. Others have a casing around the shaft for protection and safety.
