Why choose a TECHFLEX metal braided sleeving?
The use of braided metals offers benefits that polymers cannot match. Beyond the conductivity required for shielding and grounding, these sleeves provide a nearly indestructible barrier against cuts, punctures, and abrasion.
Key benefits of metal sleeving:
- EMI/RFI Shielding: Protects data transmissions from electromagnetic interference and noise.
- Grounding & Continuity: Facilitates equipotential bonding and static dissipation.
- Superior Mechanical Resistance: Unmatched protection against rodents, debris, and extreme friction.
- Premium Aesthetics: Provides a professional, high-end metallic finish for custom projects.
- Thermal Stability: Maintains performance in both cryogenic and high-heat environments.
Our main metal and shielding solutions
Flexo® Tinned Copper: The industry standard for shielding and grounding. Its tinned copper braid offers excellent conductivity and flexibility for easy installation over complex wire harnesses. Also available in a Tinned Copper Flat version for grounding straps.
Flexo® Stainless Steel: Crafted from 304 stainless steel wires, this sleeve is virtually indestructible. It is the preferred choice for protecting hydraulic hoses and cables exposed to corrosive environments or extreme abrasion.
Flexo® Shield (EMI Shielding): A high-performance hybrid solution combining metallic braid with an aramid core. It is lighter than pure copper while offering exceptional shielding coverage—ideal for weight-sensitive aerospace applications.
Flexo® Anti-Stat: Designed to dissipate static electricity from sensitive data cables, preventing signal errors and dust accumulation.
Applications for metal and shielding sleeving
Our metal and EMI solutions are critical across several high-tech fields:
- Electronics & Data Centers: Protecting network cables from cross-talk and electromagnetic noise.
- Aerospace & Medical: Shielding critical signals in wave-saturated environments.
- Automotive & Customizing: Protecting engine hoses and wires with a chrome or stainless look.
- High-End Audio: Eliminating hum and interference in professional audio and hi-fi cabling.
How to choose the right metal sleeve?
Consider the following when selecting your shielding or metal sleeve:
- Protection Goal: Do you need electromagnetic shielding (EMI) or mechanical armor (Steel)?
- Optical Coverage: Denser braids provide better shielding effectiveness.
- Weight Constraints: For aerospace, lightweight solutions like Flexo Shield are preferred.
- Environment: Stainless steel is recommended for outdoor, wet, or corrosive settings.
