Gore Adds Round Cable to Online Configuration Tool
Share:
Elkton, Md. (October 2007) - W. L. Gore & Associates has added high flex round cable to its online design tool. The addition of round cable gives equipment designers even more standard cable solutions from Gore. When demand is uncertain or small order quantities are needed, Gore has cable for applications that demand flex life reliability. The tool provides simple step-by-step instructions for configuring GORE(TM) High Flex Cables (Flat or Round) or GORE(TM) Trackless Cable from standard components, with quick lead times.
The GORE(TM) High Flex Cable and Trackless Cable Configurator - available at www.gore.com/designacable - simplifies the cable design process via a quick, streamlined step-by-step process. Users can design a cable and submit an RFQ using the simple configuration tool.
Gore's standard cable offering includes all of the components necessary to drive and control a motion system, such as: shielded/unshielded power and signal, video, Ethernet, IEEE 1394 and fiber optic. GORE(TM) High Flex Round Cable is available in two forms: single core with jacket for diameters less than 10 mm, and hybrid round cable configurations for combining multiple core components into one cable design. The Round Cable offering is available with a PU jacket for harsh environments and a PVC jacket for low particulation or clean room environments.
GORE(TM) High Flex Flat Cable is also available in two forms: Spooled Cable for higher volumes to ensure lower unit costs, and Discrete Length Cable built to required lengths with ends prepped for termination and no minimum order quantities. GORE(TM) Trackless Cable eliminates the need for cable track, along with the problems typically associated with cable track such as particulation, vibration, weight and size.
In rolling flex motion, GORE High Flex Round Cables are designed to achieve 10 million cycles down to 2.5" (62mm) bend radius; GORE High Flex Flat Cables and GORE Trackless Cables are designed and tested to achieve 10 million cycles on a 2" (50 mm) bend radius. These offerings leverage Gore's years of experience designing, manufacturing and testing high flex cables. Customers receive a reliable cable solution that meets challenging performance limits and helps them stay ahead of the competition.
Gore's world-class flex lab and experienced applications engineering team helps customers deliver product to market quicker. In addition, Gore's hybrid cable designs can also accommodate various components to meet specific needs.
