Flexible Shaft Tools

SUHNER India offers Flexible Shaft Machines as replacement for electric or pneumatic tools. Armature burn-out is an inevitable reality with conventional electric tools. If Cost is one end of the reality, the non-availability of tools when one needs them, and the back-up spares required to keep them running is the other end. When one switches to pneumatic tools, the challenge is to balance between the pressure and the volume of air used. Maintenance of pneumatic lines or the lack of it could, in itself be the reason for failures of pneumatic tools. The solution that provides both the advantages of a stable speed on load and the light weight of pneumatic tools is the use of flexible shaft machines. Flexible shaft machines come in three phase fitted with an induction motor or is also available with a universal motor like any other electric tool. When fitted with variable speed electronics or geared speed controls, flexible shaft machines can become multiple tools rolled into one. When a new application comes up, select and change the Tool-holder, you are now ready to face the new application challenge. As a pioneer and world –leader in the technology of designing and manufacturing flexible shafts, Suhner, a Swiss multi-national has introduced a range of flexible shaft machines both in single phase and three phase versions. The flexible shafts fitted are so flexible, one has to try-out to believe. The life of these shafts is phenomenal. This is obvious with a lot of discerning customers changing over to Suhner shafts, finding value in them, in spite of having to pay a higher price. In the long run flexible shaft machines could become a viable alternative for either electric tools or pneumatic tools for in-shop applications.
