Flexible Drive Agencies is the Australasian/South Pacific region distributor for the Uniflex Brand of Remote Valve Operation Gear manufactured by Elliott Manufacturing, (Formerly Stow), who continue to be the leading name in Remote Valve Operation Systems. The Uniflex R.O.G. has been the USN's choice of systems for many years & with the USN's ship builders installing the Uniflex R.O.G. as original equipment it's reliability continues to grow.

Uniflex Remote Valve Actuators are made from high grade Stainless Steel, Brass, Bronze & UV Stabilised plastics, once assembled & installed become fully sealed to keep out the harshest of marine environments plus having been tested to withstand high temperatures extreme shock & vibration as well as immersion & pressure tests, all reports are available on request. Other components such as Deck Boxes, 90 degree adapters & stuffing tubes are essentially maintenance free aside from routine greasing through installed nipples.

Flexible Drive Agencies combines in-house design using its engineering capabilities with proven Uniflex quality, & having the experience to carry out survey re-fits, gives us the ability to work with design engineers or aid in recommending a new or replacement installation.

Fire is one of the worst events that can occur in a marine vessel. This marine application saw the installation of 48 remote valve cable assemblies enabling the remote actuation of valves controlling fuel, waste water, air and ballast as well as flood systems to control fire.

Complex and size-restricted valve assembly layouts are no problem for Uniflex.
Flexible cables allow for a fast and simple installation process. Many valve assemblies can be controlled at a single, safe, remote location.

Elliott's Uniflex system is the most versatile, reliable and proven approach to remote mechanical valve actuation available today. This industrial application saw the installation of 36 remote valve cable assemblies enabling the actuation of high mounted valves from ground level improving operator comfort and substantially minimising the OH&S risk.
Quality stainless steel, brass and nylon fittings will ensure a trouble-free service life.

The AeroControlex ball bearing control provides a highly efficient and accurate system which maximises load capability while minimising backlash. This control consists of three stainless steel blades, or races, separated by two rows of free-floating stainless steel balls positioned by stainless steel or Teflon ball guides.

This "stack" of races, balls and ball guides is radially supported by a flexible stainless steel casing. This casing may be sealed from the operating environment with a vinyl or other protective cover. During installation, the "slack" is allowed to helix within the casing enabling multiplane bending. This is an important feature for addressing complex routings through structures.

Elliott Electromagnetic Flexible Shielding

The Elliott range of shielding products includes EMI, EMO, and RFI conduit, coupling devices and related hardware for military, aerospace and nuclear energy markets. Nickel-Iron alloys are used for EMP, low frequency magnetic environments, Corrosion Resistant Steel (CRES) alloys for stringent environment applications, and Brass alloys for the wide spectrum RFI/EMI environments.

Elliott electromagnetic products are integral components of any electronic cable assembly requiring protection from transient interference, pulse or unwanted frequencies as well as physical or environment damage. Elliott electromagnetic shielding is designed to meet and exceed military specifications.
