Cable accessories facilitate cable protection and assembly

Franconian cable protection17.12.2019 | Franconian industrial pipes presents the new "Fiplock" One fittings with a rotatable metal thread for cables and wires. They enable the easy installation of pre-assembled cable harnesses without having to turn them during installation.

The stackable mounting rail brings order to the world of cable protection Fiplock CRPA/CXPA, on which fastening clips in various nominal widths can be arranged and fixed with great flexibility.

Two also ensure order and structure hinged system holder, available with and without joint. They each take a corrugated pipe and can be stacked to any geometry and mounted next to each other.

An abrasion protection, among other things for the Robotic as well as the Fiplock BHPA half shells for railway technology protect stressed plastic pipes in the respective application and guarantee a long service life.

Cable protection tubes made of regenerated material for industrial robots

Reiku cable protection05.11.2019 | With corrugated cable protection conduits made from 100% regenerated polyamide 12 Reiku a sign of sustainability. The expanded product range also includes corrugated pipes made from bio-based polyamide 1. It covers nominal sizes from 7 to 95 mm and covers the entire range of applications from cobots to large ones Industrial robotsn.

Agiplast produces and supplies the halogen-free, self-extinguishing and non-flame propagating regrind (RGN by Agiplast) with consistently high, traceable quality. The new corrugated pipes are marketed under the type designation "Parab".

The cable protection hoses made from this regrind also meet the most demanding specifications with regard to fire protection, which is extremely important in the industry, as well as the very high bending fatigue strength. Together with the cable protection corrugated pipes that have been available for some time bio-based PA 11, which even surpass the performance of conventional alternatives, especially under dynamic bending stress, the manufacturer offers two product families, both of which contribute to saving fossil raw materials.

Cable protection system with integrated cable gland

11.09.2019/XNUMX/XNUMX | The new corrugated pipe system from Pflitsch "Protect" (picture above) is a sophisticated and perfectly coordinated cable protection system. The flexible corrugated pipes and fittings made of high-quality polyamide are practice-oriented and cover the widest possible range of applications. They are designed for the high requirements in mechanical and plant engineering, automation and robotics, the automotive industry, the navy and railway technology.


Tool-free cable routing and entry


The basic program consists of six corrugated pipe types, each available in the profile variants coarse and fine. The components are approved for operating temperatures from -40° to +105 °C, the corrugated tube for high-temperature applications even up to +150 °C. The corrugated pipe system also proves to be extremely resistant to mechanical and chemical loads. In addition, it has very good weather and UV resistance. Some versions even meet the highest fire protection standards for rail vehicles according to EN 45545-2.

Cables and lines securely connected even with vibrations

The Protect fittings ensure extra safety: With the characteristic locking ring, they are compatible with all Protect corrugated pipes with a fine and coarse profile. This guarantees a safe and permanent connection even with vibrations. During assembly, the corrugated pipe is locked in the fitting with a deliberate locking process, which increases the operational safety of the installation. The unit can also be easily unlocked again, e.g. B. for modifications of the system.

The simulation softwaree Protect system is available in three versions: Even the basic version achieves the high IP protection class 66. In the version with an additional sealing ring on the corrugated pipe, the system meets the highest requirements of protection classes IP 68 and IP 69. The “UNI Protect” version with integrated UNI sealing components also achieves IP protection classes IP 68 and IP 69.

The proven principle of soft crimping also guarantees optimum strain relief for the cable with a long service life. In addition, the cable installed in the corrugated pipe is sealed. Even if the corrugated tube is mechanically damaged, no moisture will get into the housing along the cable with this premium version.
