Examines the constraints that may have an impact on cable performance, and the process involved in selecting the right materials based on sufficient testing to verify cables will survive in harsh environments.

This article, featured in the February 19, 2009 issue of Machine Design, explains the value expanded PTFE brings to Gore products, especially cable.  The author provides a deep look inside PTFE , the materials characteristics and explains how this material gives cables long flex-life, extra strength, better signal transmission, and clean-room performance.

This article, featured in the July 23, 2009 issue of Machine Design, discusses the problem of particulates for moving cable systems and provides guidance on designing cable systems for a cleanroom environment.

The Cable Selection Checklist will assist you in identifying the issues you need to discuss with your cable manufacturer when selecting the right cable for your specific application and environment. Although you may not be able to complete all of the sections, it will be helpful if you are as specific as possible in the data you can provide.

Includes product description and results of particulation and outgassing tests.

As much as possible, system designers should reduce the number of moving components and the friction among these components to achieve a low particulation cable system that will last for tens of millions of cycles.
