There are four common types of cable flexing movements to consider when designing and applying a high-flex cable. They are rolling flex, bending flex or “tic-toc”, torsional flex and variable/random motion flex (see illustrations at right).

Different cable construction methods and materials are used depending on the cable flexing movement. For example: torsional cables will have a different lay length and cabling method than a rolling flex cable. Cable performance is evaluated using physical test data and statistical analysis to produce Flex Life and overall system reliability.

An understanding of the cables’ application will allow the designer to choose the correct cable and reliably predict the products’ lifetime and performance.
