As a key component of cable protection, cable sleeve is widely used in industry, construction, automobile, electronics and other fields. Its main function is to protect the cable from mechanical damage, environmental corrosion and electromagnetic interference. In the production process of cable sheathing, material selection, production process and quality control are the key factors that determine the performance of the product. This article will explore the professional production process of cable sleeve in depth to help you fully understand this important product.

Material selection of cable braided sleeve

The performance of cable braided sleeve depends largely on its material. The following are common cable braided sleevesheathing materials and their characteristics:

1. Polyester (PET)

Features: light, flexible, wear-resistant, and low cost.

Application: Suitable for general industrial environments and household appliances.

2. Nylon (Nylon)

Features: high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and high strength.

Application: Suitable for high temperature environments such as automobile engine compartments and industrial equipment.

3. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

Features: good flexibility, chemical corrosion resistance, and low cost.

Application: Suitable for general environments such as construction and electricity.

4. Stainless Steel

Features: high strength, high temperature resistance, tear resistance, suitable for extreme environments.

Application: suitable for high-end fields such as aerospace, petrochemicals, etc.

5. Kevlar

Features: ultra-high strength, high temperature resistance, and cutting resistance.

Application: suitable for special fields such as military and bulletproof equipment.

6. Silicone

Features: high temperature resistance, aging resistance, and excellent flexibility.

Application: suitable for high temperature environments such as ovens and heating equipment.

Production process of cable sleeve

The production process of cable sleeve directly affects its performance and quality. The following are common production processes:

1. Braiding process

Process: The fiber or metal wire is braided into a tubular structure through a braiding machine.

Features: good flexibility, easy installation, suitable for complex wiring environments.

Application: commonly used in automobiles, electronic equipment and other fields.

2. Extrusion process

Process: The molten material is extruded through a die to form a tubular structure.

Features: high production efficiency, low cost, suitable for mass production.

Application: Commonly used for sleeves made of PVC, silicone and other materials.

3. Injection molding process

Process: Inject the molten material into the mold and form it after cooling.

Features: High precision, suitable for sleeves with complex shapes.

Application: Commonly used for connectors, terminals and other parts.

4. Winding process

Process: Spiral winding of strip material on the mandrel to form a tubular structure.

Features: High strength, suitable for high-pressure environment.

Application: Commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

5. Heat shrinking process

Process: Heat and shrink the material and wrap it tightly on the surface of the cable.

Features: Easy installation and good sealing.

Application: Commonly used in electronic and communication equipment.

Cable sheath production process

The cable sheath production process usually includes the following steps:

1. Material preparation

Steps: Select the appropriate material according to the product requirements and perform pretreatment (such as drying and cutting).

2. Production process

Steps: According to the material type and product requirements, choose braiding, extrusion, injection molding, winding or heat shrinking process for production.

3. Post-processing

Steps: Surface treatment (such as coating, electroplating) and performance testing (such as wear resistance, high temperature resistance) of the produced casing.

4. Quality control

Steps: Ensure that the product meets the design requirements and industry standards through dimensional inspection, performance testing and other means.

5. Packaging and storage

Steps: Use plastic bags, cartons or wooden boxes for packaging, and mark product information to ensure that it is not damaged during transportation and storage.
