Introduction
In every industrial machine, from traction motors to switchgear panels, there are components that silently ensure reliability, performance, and safety. Flexible connectors—also known as copper braided connectors or flexible shunts—are one of those critical elements.
Yet, they are often overlooked until a failure causes heat buildup, arcing, voltage drops, or catastrophic shutdowns.
At Phynyx Industrial Products, we manufacture high-performance flexible connectors designed for demanding applications across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
What Are Flexible Connectors?
Flexible connectors are woven or laminated copper braid assemblies that provide electrical continuity while allowing mechanical flexibility between two components.
Why They’re Used?
To absorb vibration & thermal expansion
To protect equipment from misalignment stresses
To reduce noise and mechanical fatigue
To provide stable current flow in high-load equipment
To withstand harsh temperature and environmental conditions
Where rigid busbars fail, flexible braided connectors deliver.
Where Flexible Connectors Are Used?
Traction Motors & Rail Equipment
Constant vibration, shock loads, and thermal cycling demand connectors that can flex without fatigue. Proper flexible shunts ensure:
stable current transfer
reduced brush sparking
improved motor performance
longer carbon brush life
Switchgear & Breaker Panels
In electrical switchgear, connectors must handle:
high current
temperature rise
mechanical shifts
Flexible connectors reduce strain and prevent rigid conductor failures.
Wind Turbines & Generators
These environments require vibration absorption and stable conductivity over long duty cycles.
Mining, Steel & Cement Plants
Heavy machinery in these sectors experience constant shock, dust, and extreme temperature swings—conditions where rigid links fail quickly.
Phynyx Flexible Connectors: Engineered for Reliability
Phynyx connectors are designed to outperform generic braided connectors in harsh industrial applications.
High-Conductivity Copper
We use electrolytic copper with high strand purity for maximum conductivity.
Precision Compression & Swaging
Our connectors maintain uniform pressure across all strands for stable current flow.
