New Motion Series Plus Flexx-Sil™ Cables Deliver Extreme Versatility
CICOIL, the leading manufacturer of flat, flexible cabling, announces the immediate availability of new Motion Series PLUS (MS+) flat power/signal cables for high-performance motion control applications. This new series integrates 6 power conductors and 20 signal wires in a compact flat cable measuring just 0.80" x 0.2". Motion Series Plus cables feature ultra-high-flex shielded wires and Cicoil's exclusive 'glass-clear' silicone encapsulation for unsurpassed flexibility, durability and environmental resistance. Cicoil's President, Howard Lind, adds, "Motion Series PLUS cables add an extra level of versatility to our Motion Series line. For multi-axis applications, the new configuration of the Motion Series Plus allows designers to place the cables side-by-side for maximum flexibility, or stack them for a very condensed and compact cable bundle."
Two options are available on Motion Series Plus cables. The first is integrated Teflon® tubing for transmission of fluids or gases. The second is Cicoil's new patent pending StripMount™ integrated mounting aid. StripMount™ is reinforced strip embedded in the cable that allows for quick and easy cable mount-ing, eliminating the need for bulky, expensive cable management systems. StripMount™ allows fasteners to be safely inserted through the cable for secure attachment to virtually any surface.
Cicoil's Motion Series Plus cable is available in a single axis design that may be ganged for 1, 2 or 3 axes of servo motion. Their 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.
