    Corrosion-Resistant Flexible Shafts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Flexible Shafts. Corrosion-Resistant Flexible Shafts.
    Made of stainless steel, these flexible shafts withstand corrosive environments to connect misaligned shafts over long distances. They resist corrosion better than steel shafts. Because these shafts are flexible, they bend around curves and obstructions to transmit rotary motion. Secure them to other shafts by tightening set screws on both ends.
