We offer an extensive micro cable product portfolio, with a wide electrical resistance range from 0.09 Ohm/meter to 200 Ohm/meter and high flexibility. The wires can be individually lacquered and the Bekiflex® Hx cable can be provided with an extrusion coating.
The steel wire rope is an elastic flexible connector which is able to transmit tensile forces as a rule. It is a type of cable which consists of several strands of metal wire laid (twisted) into a helix. There is a core made of either organic fibers or synthetic fibers in central part of every wire rope.
Benefits. Increased. mechanical performance. Wide electrical. resistance range. Design 3 flexibility. To expand our ofering, Bekaert extended its current portfolio by developing an ultra fine cable – in a Helix/hybrid construction – combining a textile core and conductive wires – steel or copper based.
Sample applications for GEMO helix cables: spare wheel lowering mechanisms for cars and LCVs. cables for opening and closing caravan roof vents. control cables for agricultural and construction machinery. valve shutoff in industrial applications. emergency actuation for ships.
Bekaert offers an extensive range of fine heating cables for car seat and panel heating: Bekinox® VN: Made from ultra-fine stainless steel microfilaments, these are the most durable on the market. Bekiflex®: Steel core with an outer layer of nickel, zinc or copper. Bekiflex® Hx: Helix cables with a hybrid structure combining a textile core ...
The key feature of Helix® is the TWISTED profile. This drives the failure mechanism from a frictional mode to untwisting, setting Helix® apart from other fibers. Helix® behaves more like conventional steel reinforcement than other fibers because of this mechanism.
Generally, helically wound cables are made up of a straight core that is surrounded by multiple layers of helical wires. These type of systems are mainly used in overhead power transmission lines, as hoist ropes or as cables in cable stayed and suspended bridges.
