Flexcellent
Flexcellent is a permanent lubrication system for flexible rotary shafts that was developed by S.S. White to extend endurance life.
​
It is a combination of "Dry Film Lubricant" and aerospace grade grease applied in a way to ensure the longest possible life of the flexible shaft.
It is being used successfully in aerospace applications where it significantly reduces downtime and repair and maintenance costs.
​
The graph shows how a FLEXCELLENT permanently lubricated flexible shaft has a lower temperature rise, after several hours of cycling at 1000 rpm, than an identical flexible shaft lubricated with the typical industry standard aerospace grease.
​
The temperature rise of the FLEXCELLENT permanently lubricated flexible shaft is approximately 25% less than the greased flexible shaft.
This translates into a flexible shaft that will have less wear and a longer endurance life.
