Flexible Shaft (Flex Shaft) Showa Spring Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Capable of handling everything from manual rotation to high-speed rotation with a motor. 'Freely transmit rotational force (torque)' - Flexible shaft.
The transmission of rotational force is an essential element for machines, equipment, and devices, as it has been traditionally. This flexible shaft allows for greater freedom in these applications. If certain conditions are met, it can freely (flexibly) adjust the positional relationship between the driving side and the driven side. It eliminates the need for precise alignment, which can be very troublesome in design, allowing for simple and flexible designs, thus making it cost-effective. It can accommodate a wide range of speeds, from low rotations by hand to high rotations by motor. Additionally, our company offers a standard lineup called the [Suness Standard Flex Shaft] series, which can be customized to meet waterproof, heat-resistant, or any special specifications based on these models. Basically, there are no shapes that cannot be made. Please feel free to consult us about anything. *We have a catalog that outlines the flexible shaft and includes usage examples. Please request it or view the PDF data from the download page.

Detailed information
-
A flexible shaft is a freely adjustable power transmission shaft. ◎ For low torque and high rotation, a flexible shaft is better than a universal joint! It produces less noise, vibration, and heat, and the rotating parts are covered for safety. ◎ No need for precise alignment or complicated designs, making it low-cost! It has a simple and flexible mechanism. ◎ It can transmit power to moving or vibrating objects! (Conversely, it’s not a problem if the power source is moving.)
-
More freedom in power transmission with flexible shafts ◎ Power transmission with gears and shafts Using a transmission mechanism with gears and shafts requires alignment, making the design cumbersome. Additionally, the number of parts and fixed points increases, necessitating machining to secure gears and other components. ◎ Power transmission with flexible shafts By using a flexible shaft, alignment is not required, simplifying the design for placement and significantly increasing flexibility. This reduces design costs, decreases the number of parts, and eliminates machining costs for securing gears and other components.

Our company has been dedicated to the production of springs as a specialized manufacturer for nearly half a century. In the spring industry, we are known by the standard spring brand "San-Es," and we are considered the "pioneers of standard springs" for being the first to popularize standard springs in the market. In addition to the "San-Es standard springs," we also cater to custom orders for all types of wire springs, including compression springs, extension springs, and torsion springs, as well as lesser-known but highly excellent products such as "special-shaped wire springs," "CWS," and "flexible shafts." We practice our corporate philosophy of "always being sincere and contributing to society through the creation of trusted products," and these products have been continuously loved by many customers over the years. Moving forward, in order to gain further trust from everyone, our company will work together to develop and grow daily, ensuring accurate quality and responding sincerely to customer requests as we engage in "monozukuri" (the art of making things) every day.
