We want to be the source for all of your cable needs. Many amazing things requiring cables now (from cutting-edge AR/VR and industrial drones to medical endoscopes/ultrasound). A key objective in this pursuit is the ongoing research into new materials that can extend performance and reliability. Today, we are thrilled to announce a crucial step forward for our product development: the adoption of PEEK as an outer jacket material in our kind of ULTRA-FINE CABLE.
| Insulation Material | Advantages | Limitations | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| PEEK | Excellent high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, mechanical strength and dimensional stability | Higher material cost and more difficult processing | Medical devices, aerospace systems, high-temperature electronics |
| PTFE | Excellent chemical resistance, low friction and wide temperature range | Lower mechanical strength and abrasion resistance compared with PEEK | RF cables, aerospace wiring, chemical equipment |
| FEP | Good flexibility, chemical resistance and electrical insulation performance | Lower temperature capability than PEEK | Medical cables, flexible electronics |
| PVC | Low cost, easy processing and widely available | Limited temperature resistance and chemical durability | General electronic cables |
Traditionally, PEEK has long been identified and adopted as an engineering thermoplastic with high performance in the most demanding of industries, such as aerospace (bearings, piston parts), automotive (bearings), medical implants (spinal fusion devices), etc. The extension of the system has not, however, been developed to full maturity or optimization for ultra-fine wire and cable products. And our breakthrough work in incorporating PEEK into cable jacketing is a game-changing development and a significant leap forward for premium cable material.
Why PEEK? Breaking with traditional materials
In the case of ultra-fine wires, fluoropolymers such as PFA and FEP have been frequently used by manufacturers because they offer reasonable flexibility and resistance to chemicals. Although excellent materials, PEEK provides an even higher level of performance, which is necessary for the increasing durability and high-performance needs in small applications.
In addition to being far superior in terms of mechanical properties to materials such as PFA, FEP, and the like, PEEK has:
Superior Mechanical Strength and Abrasion Resistance: PEEK cables are much stronger all around, and they offer superior resistance to wear, compression, and repeated bending. This is especially important for cables in process equipment, robotic arms/robots, or medical devices that are manipulated on a regular basis, and prolongs their working life significantly.
High temperature and chemical performance: PEEK is able to retain its structure at temperatures up to 250 °C continuously, which, throughout, exceeds the majority of commercialized plastics. It also has excellent resistance to various chemicals, solvents, and hydrolysis (resistance against hot water or steam). The hose may be sterilized using open-end steam up to 30 PSI or in a bath containing 10% of the less caustic agents for sterilization.
With better structural integrity remaining flexible, this is the big asset of helical windings. As PEEK has excellent tensile and compressive strength, as well as good stiffness at high temperatures, it can be designed with enough flexibility for wire routing in confined areas. It withstands cut-through and abrasion, protecting signal integrity for high-performance radio frequency (RF) applications in extreme conditions where other materials may not.
From Creativity to Deployment: Mature Process and Various Applications
We are now in mass production of our range of PEEK-jacketed wires in so many different specs, even down to the fragile 37 AWG and others, including 26AWG, 36AWG, etc, that you may require. We provide these 5V power cables in a variety of colors to help you with assembly or other coding and robotics projects.
The whole production process has been improved and highly standardized, so that the product quality can be guaranteed and the supply will not deviate from the standard. “Our ability to make it work so soon and on the first attempt positions us well as we move into more challenging markets.
The outstanding characteristics of PEEK create the potential for:
Medical Technology: Ideal use for reusable medical instruments used in regular sterilization, high-flex-life surgical tools, and mini sensors in endoscopes or ultrasound.
Industrial Automation
