Flexible shafts do not create noise, but they can transmit vibrations from the power source, thus creating unacceptable sound levels. Suhner Mfg., Inc. has longtime expertise in flexible shafts technology and know-how in noise-dampening shafts — especially for automotive applications. They supply ready-to-use assemblies according to various specs that are: proven technology; simple, ready-to-use solutions; virtually maintenance-free; rugged, durable design; and environmentally friendly.

 

Suhner also recently developed a heavy-duty flexshaft able to exceed 3,500 inch-pound in braking torque while offering a bend radius of less than 20 inches. This 1" core diameter shaft is characterized by its strength and flexibility, allowing it to achieve most difficult tasks.
