Spiral cables

Flat cable, spiral-shaped

These spirals are highly versatile. They can be used in vacuum cleaners, for example, since the shape fits better with how they are used. The spiral-shaped cables can also be routed into the extending tube.

Tapered spirals

A custom development for a customer in the crane systems industry. The cable is used for control between the motor and the load-bearing medium. Its tapered shape is useful for retracting the spirals to a duct on the motor.

Multiple spirals

This involves cables which have spiral-shaped sections: two spirals with an intervening straight section, which is also called the bridge. In these types of cable, the design can include either an axial or tangential bridge. They can be used, for example, in machine tools, medical technology and mechanical engineering. The cable provides versatility as and when required, with the spirals being able to extend in one direction on the left and right, with the bridge acting as a fixed point.

Double-spiral cable

This involves two different spiral cables, one inside the other, which spiral in opposite directions so that they do not get caught on each other when moved. The advantage of this is that different cable types can be used in an application to save a great deal of space.

The outer cable has a larger connection for the power supply and the inner spiral has a smaller cross section with pilot wires. These cables are extremely versatile. For example, they are needed in the medical field for raising and lowering tables and beds.

Spiral cable with integrated PA sleeves

This is a combined design which integrates lines for conducting electricity, control signals and compressed air through a single cable. It has numerous applications, including mechanical engineering and medical technology.

Twin cable

Twin cables are used as charging cables or for loading devices. With a high degree of versatility, the cables can be used in lifting platforms and other applications, where the role of the spirals is to match the movements of the platform. They are also suitable for loading devices for lorries and trucks, e.g. in the gap between the towing vehicle and the trailer, where, for example, cooling systems have to be supplied with power.

Hose spiral

This involves feeding a wire into a PA hose and then forming it into a spiral, which is useful for types of cable which do not readily form into spirals but can be made into a spiral shape with the help of a PA hose. Not only does this achieve increased stability, but also allows the coil to retract more forcefully. The PA hose can be used to increase the outer diameters of the spirals while still ensuring they retract with a good amount of force. In addition, the working length of the PA cables can be extended by a factor of ten. The cables shown in the image are needed for use as earth lines in various applications, such as in airports or aircraft, paint finishing lines and hand cranes.
