Trackless Cable Assemblies Minimize Problems

Compared to standard cable tracks, the self-supported Trackless Cable Assemblies are said to reduce particulation, vibration, size, and weight concerns by eliminating them altogether. Designed for hostile environments, the cables operate in a controlled motion without a cable track or energy chain for stroke lengths up to 1.5m and accelerations up to 40 m/s². They are available as complete assemblies that include terminations and mounting clamps for drop-in installation. Additionally, they can operate at the same bend radii as high-flex planar cables and exhibit a flex life in excess of 20-million cycles. W. L. GORE & ASSOCIATES INC., Elkton, MD, (800) 445-4673.
