Product catalog summary
Introduction
The PMA Cable Protection System is engineered for automation and robotic applications, offering robust protection for cables and wires under extreme conditions. It features various conduit types, system supports, and accessories to minimize torsion and stress on cables.
Material Specifications
The system is constructed from specially formulated polyamide 6, free from halogens, and compliant with REACH and RoHS standards. It operates within a temperature range of –40 °C to +105 °C, with short-term tolerance up to +160 °C.
Automation Accessories
Accessories include tube clamps with features like ball joint termination, slide half-shells, and strain relief half-shells, designed to reduce wear, enhance movement freedom, and extend installation lifespan.
Conduit Overview
The system offers various conduits for automation and movable systems, each with distinct materials and features:
  • XR90: Three-layer, flame-retarded, antistatic, ideal for robotics.
  • PIS/PIH: Highly flexible, suitable for medium- and heavy-duty applications.
  • ESD: Prevents electrostatic charging, suitable for dynamic applications.
  • PUE: Suitable for tight bending radii, with high reversed bending resistance.
  • POS: Suitable for continuous movements in automation and industrial installations.
Technical Data and Order Information
Each conduit type is available in various sizes with specific technical data, including inside and outside diameters, static/dynamic radii, and temperature ranges. Order numbers are provided for each size.
Automation Accessories Details
Details on accessories include:
  • SH: Tube clamp for fixing and guiding conduits.
  • GN: Strain relief and slide half-shells for conduit fixation and movement.
  • TK: Ball joint sleeve for increased flexibility.
  • KE: Ball joint termination for end-of-installation flexibility.
  • SS/SV: Abrasion protection sleeves.
  • DKLK: Heavy-duty swivel base for rotation of cable pack supports.
  • AS/ES: Conduit support sleeves for increased pull-out strength.
  • GG/GO: Flange straight and 90° elbow for ingress protection.
  • GH/SGS: Tube clamps for general and static applications.
Possible Combinations
Customizable installations are possible with combinations of tube clamps, half-shells, and swivel bases for different conduit sizes.
