Abrasion on cables that are constantly flexing is
becoming a much more wide spread problem. To overcome this FSC have
introduced the HF-100 range of polyurethane sheathed cables which will
outlast conventional PVC sheathing.
The low friction polyurethane sheath resists wear caused by constant rubbing
either in a cable chain or where free movement brings the cable into
contact with part of the machine. Suitable for use in cable chains as
well as for free movement the HF-100 range will provide a long term
solution to many regular flexing applications.
Both the screened and unscreened versions use textile tapes and talcum
to enable the core bundle and where appropriate the screening braid
to move as the cable flexes. This reduces the stress imposed on the
conductors and braid.
