PMAFLEX Multilayer - XTPC - Corrugated Conduit

Product catalog summary

Overview: The PMAFLEX Multilayer XTPC is a highly flexible, medium-duty corrugated conduit designed for robotic applications. It offers high resistance to abrasion and wear, making it suitable for dynamic conduit systems in robotics and automation industries.

Applications: Ideal for use in dynamic conduit systems within robotics and automation industries.

Features & Benefits:

Wear indication function for proactive maintenance.
High resistance to continuous bending and torsion.
Very high abrasion resistance and long service life.
Suitable for tight bending radii.

Materials: Constructed from high-grade, specially modified thermoplastic copolyester elastomer across outer, intermediate, and inner layers.

Compatibility: Compatible with PMA Automation Products, PMAFIX Pro, PMAFIX fittings, PMAGRIP flange, and PMA Accessories.

Temperature Range: Operates continuously between –40°C and +105°C, with short-term tolerance up to +150°C.

Weathering Resistance: Good UV resistance and weathering characteristics.

Color Coding:

Outer layer: Black (protection layer), abrasion and UV resistant.
Intermediate layer: Yellow (warning layer).
Inner layer: Blue (indicates wear limit reached).

Chemical and Environmental Properties: Halogen and cadmium-free, RoHS and REACH compliant.

Mechanical Properties:

Impact strength: >4.5 J.
Compression strength: >160 N (50x50 mm), >320 N (100x100 mm).
Resistance to fatigue: >5,000,000 cycles, >10,000,000 cycles.
Pull-out resistance: PMAFIX Pro >280 N, PMAFIX IP68 >260 N, PMAFIX IP66 >220 N.

Thermal Properties:

Continuous application temperature: –40 to +105°C.
Upper application temperature: +120°C for 20,000 hours.
Short-term temperature: +150°C for 168 hours.

Product Selection: Various part numbers are available with different conduit sizes and fitting thread sizes, suitable for both static and dynamic installations.

Note: Additional sealing may be required to achieve IP performance due to higher material shrinkage of the corrugated conduit.
