Flexible rotary shafts for dc motors

Robotics and electronics discussion Mechanical design and actuators

Hi, is anyone aware of flexible rotary shafts for DC motors of relatively short length, e.g. 10-20cm. I am aware of flexible rotary shafts for the drills and rotary tools but I am looking for something that would be easy to attach to a shaft of a dc motor.

Hello.

We do not have any flexible shafts. I was able to find a few results on McMaster-Carr, so you could try searching there or checking similar vendors.

Another option might be to use a flexible drill bit extension shaft and then use shaft couplers to connect it to your DC motor. If you decide to go that route, ServoCity has a decent selection of shaft couplers.
