Why Flexible Drive Shafts Matter in Road Machinery
In road construction equipment, flexibility and precision are critical—especially when space is tight and vibrations are intense. That’s where flexible drive shafts shine. They transmit push-pull force smoothly, even when routed through compact and curved paths.
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Flexible Shaft
Whether you're upgrading a roller, paver, or loader, the following specs will guide your decision:
Stroke Length – Does your system require 50mm, 150mm, or more? Our shafts support up to 300mm stroke.
Backlash Tolerance – Phidix shafts maintain <2mm backlash for responsive operation.
Working Load & Overload – Operating between 210–400 lbs, our shafts handle surges up to 600 lbs.
Installation Conditions – Bend radius, cable length, and routing constraints.
