Setup and description of push/pull cables Setup A flat wire-reinforced inner member is located in a conduit, which is formed by an inner-lying inner tube and specially arranged longitudinal wires (linear wire stranding). The linear wires on the other hand (with the exception of types 770) are supported and fixed by a support wire winding. A plastic extrusion is doing the outer coverage of the conduit. For the universal connection of elements, the inner member and conduit are supported with pressed on zinccoated or stainless steel end parts. The push/pull cables are designed lightly gliding...

RINGSRANIM* Our cable series are offered in five sizes. In the standard version, three end part configurations are designed. There are six different types of travel, which can be combined with three different seals. A multitude of additional possibilities for configuration and variation in the setup of the cables are possible in order to create a solution that fits to the respective application. Series 383 and 384 • Series 383 with zinc-coated end parts and stainless steel rod ends • Series 384 with stainless steel end parts • PTFE-covered inner member • Highly efficient without stick-slip...

Selection of cable sizesCable sizes, maximum travel, bend radii, seals, thread rod ends, outer diameter of conduits and push and pull forces depending on the travelCable sizes, maximum travel, bend radii, seals, thread rod ends and outer diameter of conduit Cable size Push and pull forces depending on the travel The specified forces are applicable for use in permanent operation with a long service life. A safety factor of 1.5 can be used to calculate the temporary overloads. Push forces diagram 3500

RINGSRANIM* Efficiencies The efficiency of a push/pull cable (the relation of the required cable operating force to a given output force) is particularly influenced by the number of bends laid in the cable. The cable operating force can be calculated in accordance with the following formula: Operating force = Output force x Efficiency factor a is the sum of all cable bends in degrees. In addition to the cable bends, the cable length is to be taken into consideration with 15° for every 1 meter. Example of efficiency factor Cable series Cable size Cable length Sum of bends alpha Efficiency...

Codes of practice and health and safety regulations Codes of practice • Do not install push/pull cables in any applications, which may exceed the design parameters of the cable. • Cables that have moisture inside or are frozen should be replaced. Do not apply heat to remove moisture. • Do not remove seals! RCS® cables cannot be disassembled! • Protect cables from physical damage such as bending, crushing, heavy vibration and from contamination such as moisture, dirt or chemicals. Do not paint ends! • RCS® push/pull cables are designed and lubricated for optimum performance and life; under...
