Flexball cables

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Flexball cable is a highly efficient alternative to traditional push-pull cables, offering superior mechanical efficiency and minimal backlash, even in complex installations. It is designed to operate reliably over long distances and in harsh environmental conditions without requiring maintenance or lubrication.
Specifications: The cable can handle lengths over 60 meters and operates effectively in temperatures up to 108°C, with special versions capable of withstanding up to 200°C. It supports linear movements with a stroke up to 300 mm and can transfer loads of up to 15000 N in push and 25000 N in pull modes.
Construction: The Flexball cable features a robust construction with an inner blade held between ball bearings, encased in a high-strength outer casing. Stainless steel components ensure durability and high fatigue resistance. End fittings are available in steel, stainless steel, or brass.
Applications: Ideal for long routing and high tension applications, the Flexball cable can replace complex mechanical systems like solid rods, hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric devices.
Handling and Storage: Delivered in a box bent in an “8” shape, the cable should be stored straight or left in the box to prevent damage. It should not be stored in a circular shape.
Product Range: Available in various sizes, from type 55 with a 9.5 mm conduit diameter to type 160 with a 24.3 mm diameter. Different end fittings are available to meet specific application needs.
End Fitting Dimensions: The document provides detailed dimensions and specifications for standard end fittings, including push and pull load capacities, bending radius, and weight per meter for different cable types.

FLEXBALL CABLES The Flexball cable, recognizable from the green colour of the plastic cover, is an extremely flexible and sliding cable. It has a very reliable and robust construction which guarantees very high performances. If mounted properly, it will last “for ever” Conduit Render External blade Central blade Sphere Ball guide It can operate in severe environmental conditions such as moisture, condensation or icing, without impact on perIt’s efficiency is highly better than any traditional push-pull cable. The Flexball cable maintains high mechanical efficiency and very low backlash which approaches to zero, even in complex routings and difficult installations. Flexball cable can be spatially laid on all the three dimensions with low bending radii and 97% efficiency, also under heavy loads. It works reliably and without interruption, even at lengths formance. For standard cables the working temperature is 108 °C but special cable versions can work up to 200 °C degrees. It can transfer linear movements with a stroke up to 300 mm. The ball-bearing principle enables a smooth movement, low play and delay-free transfer of loads which can reach 15000 N in push and 25000 N in pull operation mode. over 60 meters. No maintenance or lubrication is necessary. It is indifferent to changes of temperature.

CONSTRUCTION Ball bearing controls have an inner blade which is held between two rows of ball bearings by two outer blades, and all is contained in a high strength outer casing. Stainless steel inner components guarantee an optimal lifetime with high fatigue resistance in any working condition. Terminal and end fittings can be made of steel, stainless steel or brass. APPLICATION Ball bearing controls are generally used in applications with long routings and high tension and compression. The Flexball cable is manufactured in lengths ready to install. It replaces complex solid rods, hydraulic,...
