Elliott Flexible Shaft Drive Systems
Elliott’s flexible shafts are asked to perform in a variety of applications. Whether it’s precision performance, demanding conditions or high-operational reliability, Agriculture requires it all.
Flexible planting products extend mechanical advantages without the need for additional power sources. If your planter has a toolbar, you already have all the power you need to drive any one of our precision planting products.

The ROI is real, and generally recognized in the first year.
It is a complete mechanism capable of transmitting rotary power or motion between two points that need not be co-linear. They are available in a wide range of configurations and materials to meet your needs. Flex Shafts are very durable and can operate in demanding environments, some requiring continuous operation at very high speed. There are two primary types of Flex Shafts:
Power Drive: Designed for continuous operation at speeds exceeding 100 RPM where torque is carries in one direction of rotation. It may also be used where intermittent operation is an application requirement.
Remote Control: Designed for intermittent operation at speeds of 100 RPM or less. Remote Control Flex Shafts generally carry handle higher torque than Power Drive Flex Shafts and can rotate either clockwise or counterclockwise without adverse effects.
Contact one of our application engineers to determine if the torque, speed, and environment of your application are appropriate for Flexible Shafting. Over the past 140 years, Elliott has designed Flex Shafts for literally THOUSANDS of applications ranging from military to commercial to power plants and beyond.
“With the FlexSeeder System, it saved me seed, it had more yield and it saved me headaches I would have by overplanting.”
