Machinery Applications

This market is driven by the needs to meet the best in lean manufacturing. To achieve this every piece of equipment in this sector is pushed for greater efficiency by working more intensely and faster. As a result any conduit installed in these applications will need to provide excellent mechanical strength, flexibility and abrasion resistance in order to supply the best possible solution to provide protection along the entire length of all the moving parts.

In this hardworking environment of both dynamic and static applications it is essential that any cable management products continue to deliver performance in areas where resistance to oils and chemicals is paramount. Any down time in manufacturing can be very costly so products that can offer high ingress protection are fundamental and IEP Thomas & Betts Adaptaflex can offer a wide range of solutions to meet all of these needs.

Technology is increasingly being used in modern machine tools and the need to interface conduit to multipin-connectors is escalating. Nylon systems continue to gain popularity in this sector due to their excellent performance, flexibility and low installed cost benefits. For this reason IEP Thomas & Betts Adaptaflex has developed a wide range of liquid tight connector interfaces in the IEP Thomas & Betts Adaptalok range.

Marine Applications
Safety and reliability are vital considerations within one of the harshest operational environments to be found. Products specified and installed within this sector have to face the particular damaging effects from the wind, wave and salt spray conditions in vastly exposed areas. Whilst this demands for the most robust of products it also calls for solutions where vibration and temperature extremes add to the challenge.

IEP Thomas & Betts Adaptaflex flexible electrical conduit offer a broad range of solutions to suit this sector and which take into consideration minimum environmental impact, corrosion and chemical resistance, long service life and low fire hazard properties. Utilising IEP Thomas & Betts Adaptalok sealing systems also offers ingress protection particularly valuable in pressure washing applications and with our specialist insert seal raises the IP rating from IP66 to IP67/68/69K.

Marine Typical Applications

– Ship/Boat Engine Rooms
– Ship and Dock Yards
– Leisure Boats and Cruisers
– Marina Developments
– Ocean-Going Craft
