Trackless Cable & Assemblies Configured From Standard Components

Standard Trackless Cable

GORE™ Trackless High Flex Cables allow automated equipment manufacturers to eliminate cable track. By incorporating GORE™ Trackless Cable many of the problems associated with cable track, such as particulation, vibration, size and weight, are eliminated. GORE™ Trackless Cable also provides increased positioning accuracy, faster speeds, quieter motion, consistent installation, simpler cable management, and cleaner operation.

Standard solutions for prototyping and quick lead times can be configured using Gore's online cable design tool.


Gore’s standard offering includes the components necessary to drive and control your motion system. GORE™ Trackless Cable bundles electrical and pneumatic lines into one low profile, self-supporting package for simple cable management. Up to three cables can be stacked together reducing the overall footprint. GORE™ Trackless Cable comes prepped and ready for termination with standard clamps that mount right onto your platform.

The Online Design Tool

Gore’s on-line design tool  provides system designers with step-by-step instructions to configure GORE™ High Flex Flat Cable (spooled or discrete length), GORE™ High Flex Round Cable, or GORE™ Trackless Cable from standard components. The design process is quick and easy. Just enter your application parameters, select your cable cores from the menu of offerings, choose a configuration, place cores within your cable configuration, and submit the specification to Gore.
