In the military and defense industry, cables and wires have to function under the toughest conditions. And they have to be particularly reliable. Whether in emergency vehicles, communication systems or in the navy - mechanical stress, extreme temperatures and electromagnetic interference are omnipresent. Effective cable protection is therefore crucial for the functionality and safety of military systems. Techflex offers specialized cable protection solutions that meet precisely these requirements

Military applications place extreme demands on cables and wires. Mechanical stresses caused by vibrations, impacts and crushing are commonplace in tanks, aircraft and ships. Extreme weather conditions such as high humidity, sand, dust or extreme temperatures are also common. Chemical influences from fuels and oils as well as electromagnetic interference (EMC) must also be taken into account.

Techflex offers robust cable protection products that can withstand these challenges and guarantee reliable protection.

Cables in military vehicles and aircraft are often exposed to extreme temperatures. The challenges here are clear: heat-resistant products are needed for reliable protection. 

FLEXO® NX, for example, is made of meta-aramid and reliably protects cables and wires at temperatures of up to 350 °C. The material is soft, flexible and yet extremely strong. It offers excellent resistance to petrol, engine chemicals and even acids. This makes FLEXO® NX ideal for applications in the vicinity of hot engines.

For applications requiring temperatures up to 288 °C, FLEXO® PFA offers optimum protection. The braided hose made of Teflon is flame-retardant, chemical-resistant and has low outgassing. This makes it suitable for high-temperature applications in engines or in the vicinity of weapons systems.

A military professional: SHRINKFLEX® 2:1 VITON is a flame-retardant fluoroelastomer heat-shrink tubing. It can withstand temperatures of up to 200 °C. It reliably protects against acids, fuels and solvents and meets the military specification MIL-DTL-23053/13. Ideal for protecting cable bundles in harsh environments.

Electromagnetic interference can have fatal consequences in military applications. Effective EMC protection ensures interference-free communication and the smooth operation of weapon systems.

Flexo Shield offers excellent EMC shielding in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 1 GHz. It is extremely light and flexible, easy to install and protects sensitive signal lines from electromagnetic interference. With its flame retardancy and abrasion resistance, it is ideal for military communication systems in vehicles or aircraft.

Mechanical stresses such as vibrations, abrasion and impacts are unavoidable in military applications. Robust cable protection solutions from Techflex offer optimum protection.

FLEXO® KV made of Kevlar fibers is five times stronger than steel with the same weight. It offers excellent protection against cuts, abrasion and mechanical stress. With a temperature range from extremely cold to extremely hot (-170 °C to 160 °C), it is suitable for demanding applications in armored vehicles or aircraft.

For even more protection, ARAMID ARMOR® offers a thicker Kevlar wall. This hose reliably protects sensitive components against extreme mechanical loads and chemical influences. It does not melt or burn and is ideal for use in combat vehicles or infantry equipment.

Cable protection for the military and defense industry often requires quick installation and maintenance. Self-closing protective conduits enable uncomplicated installation.

Products such as the F6X are ideal for this. It combines the advantages of Nomex® with a self-closing function. The conduit can be quickly pulled over cables without having to remove connectors. Ideal for quick retrofitting and maintenance of cable harnesses in vehicles or communication systems.

The CLEAN CUT® FLAME RETARDANT offers additional flame protection. The braided sleeving does not fray during cutting and is easy to install and adapt to individual requirements. It is perfect for applications where fire protection and mechanical protection are required.
