Heavy Duty Flexible Shafts


With a strong steel core, a protective plastic case, and bearings, these shafts handle the demands of high-torque applications. They snake around curves and obstructions to transmit rotary motion along any path. Rotate manually with a knob (not included) or mechanically.
Shafts with ball bearings allow higher speeds than shafts with sleeve bearings.
Secure female fittings by tightening the set screw.
Male fittings attach to a panel. Push the male end of the shaft through a panel cutout and secure with locknuts. Fittings have a D-profile for fastening to a manual control knob.
