Flexus®
Flexus®
- Multifunctional spring action parts made from a variety of materials
- Simply constructed by cutting slits into the various materials The same exceptional performance proven by the miniature flexible couplings MST and MSX
- Spring performance can be customized for compression, pull, sheering and bending
- Extremely high torsional stiffness
- Due to the cutting process, exact spring constants can be obtained for use in instruments where precision and reliability are required
- Almost linear graphed spring performance can be achieved
- Heat radiating effect can minimize shrinkage and expansion due to heat
- Nearly any shape or dimension is possible
Not only cylinders but also polygonal shaped Flexus® can be produced
- The shape of the hub can be customized according to use
- Can be selected in a variety of materials: aluminum alloy, stainless steel, copper beryllium alloy, spring steel, engineering plastic etc
Slit Pattern
Customized spring performance can be achieved through adjusting the quantity, pitch, width, and depth of the slits.
Application Examples
Flexus® is a single piece element, which can have the function of a screw, washer, pin, etc. Therefore, assembly time is saved and production costs can be reduced.
- Flexus® one-piece female screw
- Flexus® one-piece male screw
- Flexus® one-piece flange
A heat radiating effect can be created by increasing the surface area and minimize shrinkage and expansion due to heat. Heat insulating products can also be made based on selected materials.
- The thin, wide shape of this Flexus® minimizes heat expansion for use in machine tools.
- This Flexus®,used in the spindle of machine tools, absorbs processing error due to heat expansion.
Each Flexus® is a completely custom made, multi functional product. When considering a Flexus®, please instruct us on the following conditions.
- Material / Surface Treatment
- Spring performance: spring constant (N/mm) and compression allowance (mm)
