Square-Locked Tubes / Conduits
The Square-Locked tube/ conduit is produced from a continues metal strip which is locked into position by one overlapping joint. The highly flexible tube provides excellent mechanical protection without stretching or binding.
Its small size and ruggedness makes it ideal for protecting fiber optic bundles and sensor cables, medical equipments, robotics, fiber scopes, or light guides. Square-Locked tubes are available in various materials and optional sheathing. Tube Material: Stainless Steel / Galvanized Steel
ID: ø3.0 ~ ø102.0mm
OD: ø4.6 ~ ø110.0mm
OD with Coating: ø6.1 ~ ø 112.5mm
Applications:

Interlocked Tubes/conduits
The Interlocked Tube's metal strip is fully interlocked. This offers superior tensile strenght and crush resistance while allowing full extension and compression without binding. The Interlocked Tube is designed to maintain a particular shape or bending condition which makes this tube ideal for application such as light guides or bundling optical fibers in medical equipment.
The Interlocked Tube also incorporates a cotton thread for waterproofing and vibration absorption. Standard material is stainless steel with optional sheathing.
