Flexforce LITE®: test the difference !

14 Jun 2016

Axon’ will present Flexforce LITE®, its new range of cables on the Defence and Security international exhibition Eurosatory. These lightweight flexible cables are designed for the distribution of power in armoured vehicles for example.  They have the advantage of being up to 37 % lighter than standard power cables. This is a very useful quality for military vehicles which gain weight easily.

Robust but lightweight

More and more robust and super-equipped, these military vehicles are getting heavier and consume more fuel. Reducing component weight is crucial to increase their autonomy or transport more load. In order to meet these requirements, Axon’ has developed a lightweight flexible power cable Flexforce LITE®. Designed to connect batteries to vehicle devices, for example,  Flexforce®cables can carry up to 1000 Amps. Made with aluminium based multi-strand conductors, Flexforce LITE® can be up to 37 % lighter than a standard Flexforce®while achieving the same electrical performances.

Powerful but flexible

Flexforce LITE®is not only a powerful lightweight cable but also flexible. This is a huge advantage to integrate it easily in military vehicles. Conductors have been selected for their flexibility.  The company is able to manufacture its own conductors including plating, drawing and strand assembling. This expertise enables Axon’ Cable to offer the very solution to the most severe constraints. Jacketed with Axon’ insulating materials, Flexforce LITE®are resistant to fluids, abrasion and high temperatures. Halogen free versions are also available. Axon’ is able to offer complete solutions terminated with lightweight power connectors or terminal lugs.
