nDirect has added LUTZE SILFLEX multi-conductor control cable. SILFLEX control cable is a rugged industrial cable ideal for stationary and flexible applications (not intended for continuous flexing use) with multiple ratings, including UL Type TC-ER or UL PLTC-ER, which eliminates the need for metal conduit and/or armor, resulting in installation and maintenance savings.
These cables are available in sizes from 20AWG to 10AWG with 3 to 41 unshielded or shielded conductors marked with numbers for easy identification and includes a convenient ground conductor with easily identifiable green with yellow stripe insulation.
The rugged outer jacket provides resistance to sunlight, oil, and moisture penetration, making these cables suitable for wet and dry locations as well as outdoors.
LUTZE SILFLEX control cable has multiple voltage ratings up to 1000V (depending on application), can be ordered cut to length in 1-foot increments with a 20ft minimum, starts at just $0.83 per foot, and is made in the USA.

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
