  • Digital Health Ready: Flexible Wire Harness for Embedding in Textiles and Clothing
    Advantages of Flexible Wire Harness
  • Flexibility vs. Flex Life
    While the terminology sounds similar, when it comes to wire and cable design, "flexibility" and "flex life" could not be more different. While cable designers know the truth about the differences between these two performance characteristics, unfortunately, many cable users have made the mistake
  • ADVANTAGES OF DRAW-WIRE ENCODERS
    , the wire's flexibility enables curved travels through guiding rollers. Why a draw-wire encoder?. Let's consider that the encoder-drum assembly (the fixed part of the device and also the most delicate one) and the stainless-steel wire that is attached to the mechanism being measured (the moving
  • The New Shape of Wire Cable Tray
    Wire cable tray was introduced into the marketplace more than a decade ago. Since it initial labeling as a "grocery cart," most have come to appreciate its flexibility and overall lower installed cost versus other forms of cable support. This appreciation, combined with an increased awareness
  • Thermal Sensor Assemblies and Wire Harnessing
    As you may already know, Birk Manufacturing 's core business is focusing on the manufacturing of flexible silicone and Kapton (R) heating elements. But, did you know that we also specialize in non-heated sensor assemblies and wire harnesses?
  • How To Select The Right Flexible Heater Elements For Your Applications?
    of an application. Silicone rubber, polyimide, mica, and butyl are a few of the popular materials used for flexible heating elements. The heating elements come in two forms: etched foil elements and wire-wound elements. With so many variations, the selection may be difficult, but this post offers tips
  • TI Delivers Flexible Power Line Communications Solutions (.pdf)
    Power line communications use existing power line infrastructures as a cost-effective alternative to wireless and other wired communications standards, introducing intelligent monitoring and control to industrial applications such as smart metering. With the many protocol standards and modulation
  • Improve Flow Meter Flexibility and Simplify Maintenance By Combining Wired and Wireless Technologies
    While wireless technology has grown rapidly in terms of devices, functionality and availability in the consumer and commercial electronics markets, the wireless revolution is today a bit further behind in terms of adoption in the process control markets. Reliability and security remain primary
  • Steer-by-Wire Systems with Integrated Torque Feedback Improve Steering Performance and Reduce Cost (.pdf)
    Hydraulic steering systems have long dominated the industrial utility vehicle market because of their familiarity both to vehicle designers and operators. More recently, a trend has been seen towards the use of electronic steer-by-wire systems that provide greater design flexibility...
  • Popular All-Rounders: Flexible Connecting Elements as an Elastic Embroidery Pattern with Double Wire
    How does the data transfer to and from smart textiles, wearables and e-textiles work?
  • Modular Connectivity Leads to More Flexibility and Major Labor Savings
    With so much changing very quickly in manufacturing, sometimes it's easy to overlook just how far technology has come. Five or six decades ago, for example, most component cables and wires were hardwired and permanent, creating a labyrinth of non-movable parts-especially in complex
  • Common Titanium Markets and Uses for Titanium Strip and Wire Products
    As one of the world's most versatile metals, titanium is used in a wide variety of products. Its biocompatibility, strength and resistance to corrosion make it ideal for applications like medical implants and airplanes, and it's lightweight and flexible enough to be used in sporting goods
  • Vacuum Roughing Hoses
    MDC wire reinforced PVC hose is a flexible and economical solution for mechanical pump roughing lines. They are suitable for basic vacuum service to levels of 1x10-3 Torr. The wire reinforced wall prevents tube collapse while under vacuum loads, yet provides adequate flexibility for convoluted line
  • New Insulation Material Yields Smaller, Lighter, Greener Cables
    Alpha Wire's new EcoWire hook-up wire uses flexible Noryl insulation to provide an environmentally friendly alternative to PVC. Noryl is a modified polyphenylene ether (mPPE) thermoplastic that is inherently lighter, tougher, and more durable than PVC.
  • ARINC Connector Specifications
    This PIC Wire & Cable spec sheet lists PIC ARINC 404/600 and M39029 (MIL-DTL-38999 Series I, III Connector) RF Coaxial contacts for flexible RF coaxial cable, which are available from stock.
