FC Cable Systems has acquired a line of flexible conduit solutions and
fittings specifically designed for industrial and OEM sectors. Flexicon conduits provide an inherent mechanical barrier for cabling and protect systems where failure can be costly including in manufacturing, hazardous areas, hygienic systems, transportation, defense, and other industrial applications. Additional safety or uptime critical protections include protection from: weakness caused by repeated variations of stress or continuous and repeated movement, penetration of solid objects, dust, liquid, or steam, crush and compression forces applied to cause deformation, impact by sharp or blunt forces which could cause damage, reaction to different compounds or substances, corrosion damage caused
by chemical reaction, danger from build up of bacteria, virus, and fungus, build up on objects that cannot conduct a current, natural electrical discharge damage caused by lightning strike, intensity of heat (high or low) and rapid changes of temperature. Flexicon’s flagship conduit fitting,
Flexicon Ultra, is a one-piece conduit fitting solution featuring Integrated Sealing Technology and engineered to provide unrivaled performance with both fine and coarse pitch conduits. With six all-round teeth to secure the conduit, Flexicon Ultra offers superior strength of connection (pull-off strength of 154 pounds with FPAH21) and dynamic performance in one package. Ideal for the harshest environments and technically demanding applications,
New low cost & need for speed
A
new range of high quality, low cost terminals is now available from Essentra Components as
part of their new Electrical Catalogue listing. High conductivity and long life crimp joints are quickly formed using a crimping tool on both uninsulated or polyamide insulated options listed. Available styles include spade terminals and cord end terminals in sizes from 1.3mm to 8.5mm core dia. Applications include electrical installation, domestic appliances, heating industry, automotive industry, cabinet and panel building where ensuring a complete and secure connection is essential. Essentra Components cable terminals for
manufacturers and contractors are part of their one-stop-shop.

Flexicon Ultra has been tested to extremes, proven to Ingress Protection rates of IP66, IP67, IP68, and IP69. It underwent more than 1,000 individual Ingress Protection tests during development to ensure and validate product performance in both fine-pitch and coarse-pitch derivatives. Flexicon Ultra fittings come pre-
assembled and ready to install. Simply press the fitting onto the conduit and you are done. The fitting can be removed just as easily by inserting a standard electricians screwdriver into the designated release. Properties of the conduit can be
matched to the potential environmental and hazards of the installation location. Flexicon Ultra offers standard and custom solutions for each application.

MAXIMUM CABLE PROTECTION
Murrplastik Systemtechnik has extended the standard cable protection conduit sizes made of polyamide 12 by the size NW 80, as the difference between the inside diameters NW 70 and NW 95 is 24mm. This immense size difference can now be bypassed with the size NW 80. There is no comparable conduit size in the market. Target sectors for these sizes include automotive
suppliers, aluminium welding, adhesive application, exchange systems and palletising systems with robots, as these have an in-creased demand on the energy supply. This requires power lines with larger cross-sections as well as an improved water cooling. If a dresspack of NW 70 may not be sufficient, the new intermediate size NW 80 – with an increased volume of approximately 32 per cent compared to NW 70 – can be used. This eliminates the need for a more cost-intensive energy supply system with NW 95. Also new is the R-Tec Liner 80/95 of Murrplastik Systemtechnik has especially been designed for the new cable protection conduit size with a nominal width of
80 as a universal recirculation system. The R-Tec Liner 80/95 is offered as addition to the existing Murrplastik systems for conduit sizes NW 21 to NW 70. For robot users, the flexibility, assembly time, service life and stability of a dresspack are paramount. With the R-Tec Liner, Murrplastik Systemtechnik has succeeded in creating a new linear recirculation system for optimum guidance of the energy packets on industrial robots from axes 3 - 6. Finally, the new Robotic holder system RHS 80/95 of
Murrplastik Systemtechnik is suitable for the new nominal widths 80 and 95. The portfolio extension by NW 80 increases the range of applications and lines of business in the market of robotics and automation.
