Festoon Cable
Festoon Cable
(OP)
I have an application where I need to festoon cable vertically, not horizontally.
I'm having difficulty finding anything that would work.
Our application is about 0.5meters when 'closed' and about 3.0 meters when open. This is an enclosed piece of equipment with a limit switch that rides on the inside. We need to read this limit switch from the outside of the enclosure, so we will be drilling through the top of the enclosure (no problems there). Already tried wireless. Concerns about just letting the wire hang with getting caught on other internal pieces/equipment.
Any ideas on vertical festooning (if that's the correct term)?

Looking to fit our cable into a coiled tube by them, or they put our cable into the tubing.
The cables are premolded into the limit switches from the manufacturer (Turck) to eliminate any voids for chemicals to enter.
Solids should not be a problem. Will look into material compatibility for the Igus equipment. Also concerns about being able to compress down to 0.5 m.
