Phidix Flexible Shaft Casing Control Cable Sleeve Outer Casing
【 Product Description 】
The flexible shaft casing, also known as a flexible shaft sleeve or conduit, is a high-performance protective housing designed to guide and support flexible shafts during transmission operations. Built with multiple layers of precision-engineered materials, this casing ensures smooth torque transmission, enhanced durability, and superior resistance to mechanical stress, making it ideal for both industrial and automotive applications.
【 Application Scenarios 】
• Automotive systems: Gear controls, throttle cables, and brake lines.
• Industrial machinery: CNC equipment, robotic arms, and conveyor systems.
• Marine equipment: Steering and throttle control systems.
• Medical devices: Surgical tools and diagnostic equipment.
• Agriculture: Equipment like harvesters and sprayers.
【 Product Variations 】
There are several types of flexible shaft casings, each designed to meet different needs, based on friction, wear resistance, and application specifics. Below are the common configurations:
1.Bristow Casing
This type of casing features a spiral wound binder wire that adds strength and durability. It is commonly used in applications where standard protection is sufficient.
2.Utility Casing
A more cost-effective solution for general-purpose applications, the Utility casing typically features a standard plastic coating, ensuring adequate protection against wear and minor abrasions. It’s perfect for medium-duty applications where flexibility and strength are required.
3.Low Friction Extended Casing (Low Friction EXT)
Designed to reduce the friction during operation, this casing features a plastic coating that helps improve performance by reducing wear and increasing the service life of the shaft. It is ideal for applications that require continuous movement with minimal resistance.
4.LF (Low Friction) Casing with PTFE Coating
The LF casing is equipped with a PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coating, known for its excellent low-friction properties. This type of casing is ideal for high-precision and high-performance applications, where reducing friction is critical for optimal functioning.
【 Features 】
• High-Strength Construction: Multi-layered steel wire wrapping enhances strength and resistance to deformation.
• Smooth Inner Surface: Reduces friction and ensures efficient power and motion transmission.
• Durable Outer Jacket: High-quality polymer coating provides protection against moisture, chemicals, and abrasions.
• Flexible Design: Allows easy routing in confined or complex spaces without kinking or performance loss.
• Customizable Options: Available in various diameters, lengths, and material combinations to meet specific application requirements.
【 Advantages 】
• Enhanced Durability: Protects the flexible shaft from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and mechanical stress.
• Improved Efficiency: The low-friction coatings reduce wear and increase the lifespan of both the casing and the shaft.
• Easy Installation: The casings are designed for easy routing and installation in complex mechanical systems.
• Customizable Solutions: Available in various lengths, diameters, and coating types to fit specific machinery needs.
【 Working Principle 】
The flexible shaft casing functions by encasing the flexible shaft, preventing damage from external elements like dirt and moisture, while allowing the shaft to move freely inside it. The casing design helps absorb torsional and axial loads, ensuring efficient operation. The different coatings (plastic or PTFE) enhance its resistance to wear, making it suitable for high-performance applications.
