| Devices with reinforced cable |
Metallic flexible tube increase stensile strength, mechanical abrasion and impact resistance, temperature and fire resistance.
Steel braid. In the case of metal braid (armoring), a further option is to put a second external sheath in order to protect the metal for outdoor applications, facilitating cable cleaning and preventing corrosion, but the diameter becomes bigger.
Steel flexible tube, compared to armoured cable, offers a better protection against crushing and could be even used just for a partial length (limiting the tube to the length where it is really useful, you get a cheaper cost and more flexibility where the tube is not necessary); on the other hand its external diameter is bigger.
Conduits of polyamide (nylon) are available as well; their dimensions are bigger than conduits of steel, but they have a very good chemical resistance and sometimes they are cheaper.
Halogen free polyester braided sleevings can instead offer flexibility and high temperature resistance, 150°C working temperature, 200°C melting point.
Typical applications are with welding machines, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, food industry machinery, earth moving machines, lifting or air platforms, warehouse and moving goods plants.
Another interesting application is to prevent rodent (rats, mice) and termite attacks. In many areas steel armouring (armoring) is the best way to stop or reduce serious damage.
