| Features: | |||
| Single
Strand or Multiple Wire The single or multiple wire inner member type consists of a single or multiple twisted metal wire. This type is to be used only in pull tension applications, the return stroke usually being provided by a spring or other device at the output end. |

| Flat Wrap The flat wrapped core consists of an inner member fabricated of metallic members helically wrapped with a flat metallic band throughout its length. |

|
| Helical
Wrap The helical wrapped cable consists of one or more metallic members, helically wrapped with a metallic strand resulting in a "worm gear." |

|
| Long Lay Long lay conduits are constructed with a non-metallic liner, surrounded by high strength wires which spiral around the liner with a very high helix angle (long lay). The wires are covered with an extruded (non-metallic) jacket which holds the long lay wires in place and provides an environmental cover. |

| Long Lay
with Roving Wrap These long lay conduits substitute the non-metallic cover with a flat or round wire which spirals around and holds the long lay wires in place. Some conduits have an environmental cover over the roving wrap. |
Adequate flexibility |

| Rigid Tube
Conduits Rigid tube conduits are stainless steel or aluminum tubes which may be lined with an anti-friction material or other penetrant type solid lubricant to aid friction characteristics. |

| Monocoil
Conduits Monocoil conduits are constructed of continuous metal strips, rods, wire or extruded shapes which are wound around a mandrel to create a flexible tube. The material used for the monocoil is generally spring steel or stainless steel. Since the walls of the bore are made up of the wire strips abutting themselves, the conduit is not environmentally sealed and must have a cover applied if needed. Monocoil conduits are also made of two different wire shapes which are wound alternately to create a tighter fitting and compact envelope. Since monocoil conduits are held in place by the elastic resilience of the material used, they are generally used for tension only assemblies. If the compression loads do not exceed the elastic pre-load of the monocoil or if a subsequent wire braid cover is mechanically attached to the end of the monocoil, they may then be used for push-pull applications. They can be used with or without liners. |
