SUMMARY
The mini drill flexible shank operates through a sophisticated mechanism that transmits torque via a multi-strand wire cable core, surrounded by two helical layers of steel wire. The torque is delivered by tension in one of the helical layers, depending on the direction of rotation. This design allows for pliable energy transfer, making it effective for various applications. For further technical details, refer to the relevant patents on flexible shafts.
