Decrease your design time and conquer power transmission challenges like tight corners, long distances and misalignments with flexible transmission shafts. Offering a high degree of freedom, flexible driveshafts are a safe and efficient alternative to traditional drivetrain options.

Ideally suited for delivering power over, under, around and through obstacles, Elliott’s flexible drive shafts absorb and isolate vibration, significantly simplifying your transmission application. Our flexible shafts easily withstand the shock of sudden load changes caused by starts and stops, and transmit power to a driven element that must move during operation or into machines.

Since opening our doors in 1932, we have become a global leader in flexible shaft systems. The Elliott product portfolio has evolved to include flexible shaft assemblies, flexible couplings, gearboxes, clutches, push-pull control assemblies and valve actuation systems. You’ll find our products in some of the most challenging and rugged industries, such as:

• Aerospace – flexible shafts serve as thrust reverser actuation, flap and slat actuation, seat adjustment and passenger door drives.
• Agriculture – flexible planting products without the need for additional power sources
• Construction – Concrete vibrators that deliver torque to the vibrating head down inside concrete forms.
• Marine – Remote valve operators are installed or retrofitted whether for more convenient access, emergency or a less hazardous working environment.
• Military – flexible shafts are found in military aircraft, rockets, ships and vehicles around the world.
• Outdoor power equipment – flexible shafts used in string-trimmer and many of the home and professional use tools.
