Materials
Steel wire DIN 2078
Base material for round wire conduits, flat wire conduits and solid wires of the control cables.
Galvanized steel (spiral cables, 1770 N/mm²)
Spiral cables with high breaking strength and corrosion-protected surface.
Nirosta (stainless steel, spiral cables, 1570 N/mm²)
Cable version for requirements concerning corrosion-resistant surfaces.
PVC (sheathing, black)
Sheathing of the wire and flat wire conduits as protection against slipping and wear.
POM (polyacetal homopolymer)
Material for lining tubes to reduce friction between cable and conduit.
Polyamide 6
Material for lining tubes of the control cables.
Polyethylene
Material for lining tubes in flat wire conduits with wrapped lining.
