For comfort elements in vehicles and challenging applications in many other industrial areas, flex shafts facilitate new approaches to the drive concept. With its SU-Flock and SU-Flex Shafts in particular, the Transmission Division of the Suhner Group offers a multifaceted, flexible and cost-efficient alternative to conventional solutions.

 

Shutting mechanisms for car sunroofs have been classic automotive features for several years now and the trend is pointing toward even more elements that are designed primarily with comfort in mind. Suhner's drive elements create new engineering and design opportunities. The flex shafts support centralised and decentralised drive concepts for the automotive industry as well as many other sectors.

A special flocked version is available for applications where noise is critical. The flexibility and robustness of the flex shafts facilitate the connection of non-aligned axles (drive to drive). This, in turn, enables greater tolerance allowance in the design phase, which facilitates an even more cost-effective assembly. SU-Flex, as a special version of flex shafts, can also be used as spindles. The clear aim: more efficient production. Experience has shown that lower total costs are achieved when flex shafts are used particularly in the highest rpm ranges (up to 50,000 min-1). 

 

With its flex shafts, the Transmission Division of the Suhner Group underscores its position as a strong partner for automotive companies. Suhner is well familiar with the legal aspects pertaining to the industry and therefore fits seamlessly into manufacturers supply chains with global account management. In the process, Suhner continuously fuels high-tech solutions. From its locations in Lupfig (Switzerland), Rome (Georgia, US), Suzhou (China) and Bangalore (India), the transmission experts serve as a key partner for numerous industries.
