Flextrack, self supporting flat cables for the automation and robotics industry

Product catalog summary

Introduction to Flextrack® Cables
Flextrack® is a self-supporting flat cable developed by Axon’ Cable for the automation and robotics industry. It eliminates the need for a cable carrier and is designed to withstand tens of millions of flex cycles, making it suitable for demanding applications.

Key Features

Heat Dissipation: The flat configuration allows better heat dissipation compared to round cables.
Flex Life Performance: Capable of enduring over tens of millions of flex cycles.
Space Efficiency: Low bend radius (> 25mm) allows for space-saving within equipment.
Maximum Width: The cable can be up to 85 mm wide.

Insulation Material
Flextrack® cables are insulated with CelloFlon® film (expanded PTFE), offering high flexibility, low insertion losses, and resistance to molecular contamination, particles, and chemicals. They are suitable for clean rooms and vacuum environments, with a temperature range from -50°C to +90°C.

Custom Design Options
Flextrack® cables can be customized to include various components such as single wires, twisted pairs, triads, quads, coaxial cables, power cables, and fiber optics. They can be shielded for EMI protection and terminated with any connectors as per customer requirements.

Research and Testing Expertise
Axon’ Cable not only designs custom cables but also develops equipment to test the flex life of cables, ensuring high performance and reliability.
