Versatile flexible conduit system for the most demanding rail applications EXPO Ferroviaria 2008, 20 – 22 May, Lingotto Fiere, Turin, Italy
Adaptaflex Hall: 1 Stand No: 620
A world leader in flexible conduit system technology for locomotive, carriage, trackside and infrastructure applications, Adaptaflex will be exhibiting its complete range including, for the first time, the all-new ‘Adaptalok ATS' system.
Adaptaflex is the only manufacturer of the BS6853 Class 1A non-metallic flexible conduit Polyketone system, Type PK. The Super Low Fire Hazard system has high UV resistance, flexibility and fatigue life making it suitable for both static and flexing applications. For safety critical and harsh environments stainless steel or tinned copper overbraid options are available. Similarly, examples of the Type PR enhanced low fire hazard overbraided system will also be on show, all of which are fully approved for use by major rail companies, worldwide.
Combining system performance and integrity with speed of installation, the new unique ‘Adaptalok ATS' conduit system makes its EXPO debut. Produced by a sophisticated moulding process, it achieves ingress protection ratings up to IP68 and IP69k by a simple push-twist-pull installation process, without the need for tools. A full range of options is available including straight and elbows with nylon or swivel metal threads, ideal for rail applications.
Suitable for use inside or beneath trains and carriages, as well as on public transport, light rail and tramway systems, Type CP utilises a special co-polymer material that offers high flexibility, with a wide operating temperature range, Low Fire Hazard (LFH) capability and extremely low toxicity. It facilitates the use of one-piece, push and twist Adaptalok fittings, making installation both fast and effective, with IP66 ingress protection as standard. By using the Adaptalok high visibility insert seal this can be increased to IP68 or IP69k, as required.
Rail dedicated systems developed by Adaptaflex include both metallic and non-metallic systems, offering ingress protection from IP66, as standard, through to IP67, IP68 and IP69k. They provide the most suitable application solutions for the protection of critical power and data cabling, whether the use is on locomotive, carriage, infrastructure, trackside or safety critical environments.
All of the systems are comprehensively detailed in the new Adaptaflex Flexible Conduit Systems catalogue, available on request, either at the stand or via quick download from the Adaptaflex website, www.adaptaflex.com.
