Transforming ideas into reliable products
Flexible shaft products provide versatile, efficient power transmission in tight or complex spaces. Engineered for durability and precision, they ensure smooth operation across various industries. These shafts offer reliable performance, making them ideal for both light and heavy-duty applications.
Standard Flexible Shafts
S.S. White has found there are certain designs and applications that come up over and over again and would be better served by standard, 'off-the-shelf' solutions.
Ready-Flex with Casing
It is usually necessary for shaft lengths that exceed 8 inches. Also, casing is recommended when the environment is dirty, dusty, or corrosive.
Ready-Flex without Casing
These are used for short distances in short duty cycle applications. Designed for control-type applications to transfer slow motion from one point to another.
Gear Boxes
Used for short distances in short duty cycle applications. Designed for control-type applications to transfer slow motion from one point to another.
Serving a wide range of applications
We provide customized solutions that cater to the distinct needs of various applications.
Space Station Manual Override
Seamless integration of components is crucial on a space station. The node manages resources among interconnected elements like crew return vehicles, habitation modules, and more. Contingency plans are necessary for electrical system failures, which involves using flexible shafts.
AC130 Magazine Drive
The AC130, features advanced sensor, navigation, and fire control tech. Notably, it utilizes an S.S. White flexible shaft assembly, to drive the 25mm GAU-12 Gatling Gun, ensuring continuous ammunition feed and sustaining its firing rate of 1,800 rounds per minute.
Hubble Space Telescope
Beneath the Hubble Space Telescope, the Soft Capture Mechanism (SCM) forms a ring structure, serving as a convenient point for robotic spacecraft to grip during servicing missions. The SCM's jaws were powered, synchronized, and secured simultaneously with S.S. White flexible shafts.
