Shaft with cable gland
shaft core
At both ends of the shaft core different shaft couplings can be pressed or soldered, e.g.:
- keyway
- toothing
- cross hole for spring dowel sleeve
- thread
- inner or outer hexagon
- inner or outer square
- ...
protective tube
Different couplings can be pressed onto the protective tube..
At the right side seen in the picture a coupling with a drag spring is shown. As counterpart a tube with cross hole can be used. The drag spring locks into the cross hole. The shaft can be dismounted quick and easy when necessary.
A swivel nut (left side in picture) is used for simple fastening. Depending on design type this variant can be protected against splash by means of a sealing ring.
The cable gland is used to securely guide the flexible shaft though a cover or casing.
