Our Pursuits Similar to an avid boater, Uflex understands the complexity, yet unvarnished need to always be in total control of your vessel. Through setting technological standards, implementing precision operations, and even unwavering customer support, the mission statement from Uflex is simple; construct high quality products, create industry standard experiences, and maintain focus on our customers. And as precision, and performance are at the forefront of qualities, Uflex also intimately relates to the need for cosmetic appeal and classism. As a key component supplier to some of the world’s most elegant automotive manufactures like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati, Ultraflex – the parent company to Uflex, creates the bridge between high-performance and sophistication. Mechanical Steering A staple in the marine and automotive industries, mechanical steering has been a foundational concept from which new generational technologies have developed. Uflex prides itself in providing mechanical steering products that not only provide high-performance options, but also emphasize the desire for trust and safety in steering products. Whether it be the every-day-use commercial application, or just as pivotal, the weekend warrior – safety is priority number one in all operational facets. A leading contributor in performance and customer experience, the Uflex mechanical steering helms utilize a planetary gear design. Compared to the commonly used conventional gear design, planetary gears allow friction and torque to be reduced, and engine feedback to be minimal. From the standard T71 featured in Rotech steering kits, to the high-efficient T91 & T93 featured in the Fourtech option, the planetary gear design is a foundational standard for Uflex mechanical steering. Along with highly-engineered mechanical steering helms, Uflex also offers an industry leading mechanical steering cable – the M90. While not only utilizing proprietary components like a brass engine connection nut to avoid corrosion, or a highly flexible conduit capable of a six-inch bend radius, the Uflex M90 highly efficient steering cable is the only completely universal steering cable on the market. Compatible with all Uflex and competitor rotary helms, the M90 cable eliminates the common questions of what to stock in inventory. Uflex also offers many other mechanical steering options in Rack & Pinion applications, Zero Torque Feedback options, and a patented Navitech power steering system.
