Cicoil Introduces New Cable Line for Motion Control Applications
CICOIL, the leading manufacturer of flat, flexible cabling, has introduced a standardized line of cables designed specifically for motion applications. The new Motion Series cables are flat and encapsulated in 'glass-clear' silicone for unsurpassed flexibility. Cicoil's President, Howard Lind, adds, "Motion Series cables are typically twice as flexible than any other cable available – with a bend radius as little as 1.5 inch – making them ideal for linear motion and tight-space applications."
Cicoil's Motion Series cable is available in three designs for 1, 2 or 3 axes of servo motion. Each of the three configurations is further available sized for 1KW, 2KW and 3KW servomotors. Each Motion Series cable incorporates four shielded power cables and eight signal cables for each axis of motion. The silicone encapsulation provides a solid, one-piece construction that creates a highly durable cable package. The cable will not deform, break or wear during a lifetime of more than 10 million cycles, even under high flex conditions. Cicoil's exclusive silicone process also delivers advantages in extreme environments, including temperature ranging from -65°C to +260°C. They are also impervious to water, steam and chemicals. Their solid construction makes them uniquely well suited for vacuum or clean rooms environments.
Standard cables are in stock for immediate delivery, for 'cable-only' orders. Custom designs, including cable assemblies with standard connectors, are also available with minimum lead times. A full data sheet is now available for download at the company's web site: www.cicoil.com.
