Flexible shafts

A flexible shaft is a multitude of layers of wire stranded in one direction and then in the other. The flexible shaft transmits a torque, characterised in Nm.

In order to define the correct reference of flexible shafts, the following parameters must be defined:

• The torque to be transmitted
• The speed
• The preferred direction of rotation or is it both
• The length – (above 150 mm a metal sheath is necessary)
• The endurance cycles
• The environment

Flexible shafts are a simple solution for transmitting rotational force from one point to another in a winding configuration.

Lightweight, compact and robust, Codica’s flexible shafts are custom-made to your technical specifications. We offer co-design to achieve a working prototype.

As a complement to gearboxes and gearing devices, flexible shafts are ready to complete a motor.
