Strength ranges from several thousand to over 10,000 bending cycles, depending on hose dimensions and characteristics.
The compromise between hose length, diameter, weight of the object, and spatial orientation must be maintained. For this reason, it is essential to define a specification from the outset, when defining the product. (see specifications type ABEILLON).
A cable or plastic hose can be installed inside or outside the hose as required. For internal installations, the hose ends can be fitted with tips for cable or hose entry/exit at required angles.
If the cable or hose is to be installed outside the hose, fastening accessories along the hose can be provided.
Realizations from ABEILLON plan or customer plan
Rigid elements of different lengths, such as right or angled tube, can be fitted to one end or both ends of the hose when it is not necessary to use its specific mechanical properties over part of the height the support device thus formed, or when it is desired to give a specific orientation to the hose or the device that supports it.
Solutions aimed at providing the semi-rigid hose with increased holding capacity can be envisaged. These are mechanical reinforcements that can be proposed on a case-by-case basis, depending on our teams’ knowledge of the customer’s performance and usage configurations.
ABEILLON also controls the design and manufacture of supports whose primary function is to protect the objects supported against violent shocks and while absorbing the energy generated by a shock, the support also has the essential function of damping effectively vibrations and mechanical oscillations caused by the collision between the supported device and a fixed obstacle for example. As an example, this type of support consisting of a spring and a number of other mechanical components is used to support and protect large antennas on board security or military vehicles.
The mechanical support, integrating a semi-rigid hose or a spring, can be dressed by means of a PVC sleeve or of different polyolefin sleeve. All or part of the support assembly may undergo a surface treatment such as chrome plating, zinc plating, or even be painted. It can in some cases be coated with a silicone layer. These sleeves and coatings provide the assembly, besides a satisfactory aesthetic appearance, a protection adapted to the environment of use of the support.
