Flexible Drives have a huge range of uses within Agriculture and Horticultural Sectors.
Flexible Drives are used in various rotary tools and drive systems relied on by Farmers and Gardeners worldwide. There are thousands of applications in which Fairport’s Flexible Drive shaft can be used in and below are some examples of rotary tools which Fairport’s flexi shaft is used in today:
• Weed Wackers
• Sheep Shearing
• Pig Shaving
• Horse Clipping
• Equine Dentistry
• Seed Spreading
• Silo Cleaning
• Power Take Offs
• Agricultural Machinery
• Historically Fairport used to manufacture and sell the ‘Baxtul’ product range which can be viewed on our history section.
Fairport’s flexible drive can be retrofitted to existing equipment and machinery or used to replace and overcome troublesome gears, chains and pulley maintenance issues. Since flexible shafts are enclosed in an outer casing to protect the inner core it is much safer to operate in open applications than exposed gears, cables, belts or pulleys. This retrofit application, once installed, requires minimal maintenance as it is self-lubricating and sealed from dust, contaminants and the elements.
