Universal Flexible Shaft: Innovative technology leads a new revolution in the field of transmission

In the field of modern industrial and mechanical transmission, Universal Flexible Shaft is gradually becoming a core component in many precision transmission systems with its unique flexibility and durability.

The design inspiration of Universal Flexible Shaft comes from the innovation of traditional rigid transmission shafts. Traditional rigid shafts are often limited by spatial layout and mechanical friction during transmission, while flexible shafts achieve flexibility and gapless transmission of the transmission system by using elastic materials and high-precision manufacturing processes. Its core structure is usually composed of an elastic sleeve and a rigid hard chain. The elastic sleeve is woven from elastic steel wire or steel bar, replacing the traditional petal-shaped connector, while the flexible soft chain is replaced by a rigid hard chain. This design not only enhances the torsional stiffness and wear resistance of the shaft, but also enables the shaft to maintain stable transmission performance under complex and changing working conditions.

During the transmission process, the torque is mainly transmitted through the steel wire or steel bar in the elastic sleeve. When the shaft is subjected to torque or other external forces, the impact of the external force is slowed down due to the flexibility of the elastic sleeve, and the torque force is converted into tension, thereby effectively avoiding the cracks in the shaft and extending the service life. The flexible shaft is also equipped with detachable joint components, which realize the rotation plane adjustment of different angles through steel balls and spherical pits, further meeting the diversified application angle requirements in the industrial and mining fields.

Universal Flexible Shaft has shown wide application potential in multiple high-precision transmission and positioning occasions due to its small size, no mechanical friction, no gap and high sensitivity. In precision instruments such as gyroscopes and accelerometers, flexible shafts eliminate the idle travel and mechanical friction during the transmission process, significantly improving the displacement resolution and stability of the system. In the fields of micro-motion workbenches, laser welding and optical autofocus systems, the high-precision rotation capability of flexible shafts has become the key to achieving micron-level positioning.

Flexible shafts also play an important role in high-tech fields such as industrial robots, automated production lines, and aerospace. Its flexible transmission performance and excellent wear resistance enable robots to maintain high operating efficiency in complex and changing environments, while reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
