That’s why Elliott’s superior quality requirements, with inspections at multiple stages of the manufacturing process, ensure these critical components meet top specifications.
Flexible shafts transmit rotary motion much like a solid shaft, but can be routed over, under and around obstacles where a solid shaft cannot be used. Ideal for use in an aircraft, Elliott flexible shafts have a unique, robust design that addresses the special conditions in an aircraft, like extreme temperature ranges, chemicals, moisture, intense torque load and continuous operation at high speeds.
Elliott is a worldwide leader in the design and manufacturing of power transmission products, and related assemblies and components. We partner with the aerospace industry to supply products for jet engine thrust reverser systems, aircraft flap and slat actuation, ignition leads, seat adjustment drive cables, cockpit pedal adjustment cables, and passenger and cargo door drives. Product offerings include flexible shaft assemblies, push-pull controls, gear boxes, ball screw and nut assemblies, universal joints, conduit assemblies and hydraulic hose assemblies.
