This document specifies requirements for flexible shafts used in concrete vibrators. It defines terminology such as inner shaft, outer casing, and end fittings. It outlines two types of flexible shafts based on end fitting form. Dimension requirements include diameters of 10-15 mm and lengths of 4-6 meters for the inner shaft. Material requirements specify spring steel for the inner shaft and rubber with a steel liner for the outer casing. Tests are described to check for flaws, flexibility, and locking diameter. Markings must include the designation and manufacturer. Figures provide examples of assembly configurations and end fitting dimensions.

Sc?pe - Terminology, dimensions and general requirements of flexible shafts for concrete vibrators. !. Tsrfninology !.linnerShaff -The bare working element without end fittings. !;2 loner Shaft End Fitfing - Parts for fastening to the ends of the inner shbft by means of which the lexibls shaft assembly is connected to the driving and driven element. !,3 inner Shaft Assembly - The inner shaft with end fittings attached or one with integrally formed iquares. !.4 Outer Casing-A flexible covering in the form of a tube, which acts as a run way or guide for the nner shaft, protects it from dirt and injury and assist in retaining lubrication. !.5 Outer Casing End Fittings - Parts used for fastening to- the ends of the outer casings by means 01 ,vhich the outer casing is connected or coupled to the body of the driving and driven members. 2.6 Outer Casing Assembly - Outer casing with~end fittings attached. 2.7 Nexible Shaft Assembly - A combination of inner shaft assembly and coordinated outer casing as sembly (see Fig. 1). 2.8 fay of the Shafl- The pitch direction of the outer layer of the inner shaft. Depending upon the direction of lay, shafts may be specified as left-lay or right-lay. 2.9 Direction of Rofafion --The direction which tightens up the outer layer of the inner shaft. 3. Types -The flexible shafts ror concrete vibrators shall be of two types, namely, Type A and Type B depending upon ths form of end fittings used for the assembly ( see a/so 4.3 ). 4. Dimensions 4.1 Diameter-The diameters of the flexible inner shafts shall be IO, 12, 12.7 and 15 millimetres. Th size 12.7 millimetres shall be second choice. 4.2 Length - The lengths of the flexible shafts shall be 4 000 mm, 5 000 mm and 6 000 mm. 4.3 End Fittings Dimensions For Type A -See Fig. 2 to 5. For Type B -See Fig. 6 to 8. 5. Designation - A flexible shaft for concrete vibrator of Type A having left-lay (L) of the outer laye of shaft, with inner shaft of 12 mm diameter and 4 000 mm length shall be designated as: Flexible Shaft A - L12 x 4 000 IS : 6276 6.

- 2. IS:6276 - 1971 7. General Requirements 7.1 The outer casing of the flexible shaft shall be capable of stretching under normal conditions of use in construction work, Adequate insulated covering shall be provided for the outer casing. holding the needle securely without without damage to the inner shaft. 7.2 Coupling or threading arrangement between the inner shaft and the vibrating needle shalj be designed to prevent disengagement of the needle from the shaft during its operation. 8. Tests 8.1 Visual lnspecfion - The shaft shall be inspected for obvious flaws in the shaft, such as kinks, bends and looseness. 8.2 Roll Test - A length of about one metre is taken and is laid on the floor in approximately lo-metre diameter curve and rolled back and forth from the centre by foot. The shaft shall roll smoothly throughout its length without offering resistance and shall roll without jerking or flapping about. The extreme ends may flap a little. 8.3 Locking Diameter Test-A inner shaft assembly is looped and the junction is held in hand. One end of the inner shaft is pulled so as to reduce the diameter of the loop until the shaft assembly is felt to offer consjderable resistance. The diameter of the lcop is then measured and the diameters shall not be more than 20 times the inner diameter. The loop shall be,as nearly circular as possible and there shall not be any obvious difference in the radius of curvature at two adjacent points. 9. Marking -All the shafts shall be marked with the designation and manufacturer’s name or trade- mark. 9.1 IS/ Cerfificafion Marking - Details available from the Indian Standards Institution.
