Make your part flexible

Sometimes an application can benefit from a little flexibility. However, the flexibility may be needed at a post design stage, which can then not be placed within the system without major changes to the original design. Perhaps the actual machined parts/blanks have been produced and the design is committed. Alternatively, if the customer has machining capability, it might become more cost effective for them to produce the blank in certain applications. In all cases, we can help by actually generating the flexure into your part.! One of the greatest advantages of the specialist flexure beam product is in its ability to adapt into applications where simply others can not follow. It is an advanced and unique solution that generally exceeds the capabilities of common flexible shaft coupling designs. Since it is manufactured from one piece of material, there are no moving parts as the shaft misalignment's are simultaneously absorbed. The flexure, by the nature of its design, is constant in its torque delivery and has low radial loads during rotation. It does not require lubrication and is silent during operation. The performance capability of each flexure is determined by six major characteristics: flexure outside diameter, inside diameter, coil thickness, material, number of coils and number of starts. By altering these characteristics, torque capacity, angular and parallel misalignment capabilities and torsional stiffness rates can be modified to suit specific specifications.
