A world leader in the development and manufacture of flexible conduit system technology for critical power and data cable protection the Adaptaflex range includes many innovative and purpose designed metallic and non-metallic systems to meet specific application requirements.

Already being specified on international rail projects the unique ‘Adaptalok ATS’ range will be on show with new fittings adding to the already extensive offering of this highly versatility and evolutionary non-metallic flexible conduit system.

‘Adaptalok ATS’ significantly reduces installation times with single piece fittings and a push-twist-pull installation process. It is suitable for all wet or dry applications possessing the highest possible ingress protection ratings. System performance and integrity are assured combining low weight with high impact strength, while offering a quick, more economical installation process, critical factors particularly for locomotive and rolling stock applications.

The system includes an extensive range of fittings, including straights and elbows with nylon or swivel metal threads offering full low fire hazard capability, high impact resistance, vibration resistance and low temperature flexing. Throughout the exhibition Adaptaflex personnel will be demonstrating the speed and ease at which ‘Adaptalok ATS’ can be assembled.

Shown for the first time at InnoTrans is a definitive reference guide to specifying flexible conduit systems. The AdaptaflexRail Industry Specification Guide’ gives an overview of the demanding application requirements along with detailed information on selection criteria and technical data. It includes International and Country Standards, how they are applied and developments currently in progress regarding harmonisation of standards.

The company also manufactures the highly advanced non-metallic flexible conduit Polyketone system, Type PK, with an industry defining standard combining Super Low Fire Hazard with high UV resistance, flexibility and fatigue life, making it suitable for both static and flexing applications. For safety critical and harsh environments, stainless steel or tinned copper overbraid options are available. All are fully approved for use by major rail companies worldwide.

Adaptaflex develops and manufactures high quality, high performance products utilised throughout the rail industry and approved by recognised industry standards from LUL, SNCF, Deutsche Bahn, Bombardier, Siemens, Alstom etc. They are specified and used on some of the world’s leading rail projects for locomotive, carriage, trackside, ancillary and infrastructure applications.

All of the systems are fully detailed in the comprehensive Adaptaflex catalogue, ‘Conduit Systems for Critical Power & Data Cable Protection’, available on request, either at the stand or via quick download from the company website, www.adataflex.com .
