The ROHRflex PA 6 S AD42,5 is a full-plastic corrugated hose from the brand Flexa, specifically designed for use in electrical installations in machine and plant engineering. It serves as a protective sleeve for electrical wiring and cables, protecting them against mechanical stress, moisture, chemicals, and environmental influences. The hose is available in a 10-m pack and features a slim profile as well as an internally and externally corrugated structure, enabling flexible and robust cable guidance. The material consists of polyamide (PA), known for its high strength and chemical resistance. The hose is black in colour, with a grey variant also available.

Applications

The ROHRflex PA 6 S AD42,5 is used in various industrial application areas, including machine building, plant engineering, shipbuilding, and automation. It is particularly suitable for protected electrical installations in machine and plant engineering in accordance with DIN EN 60204. The application is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, with the good UV resistance of the black material ensuring long-term operational safety outdoors.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The hose is air- and liquid-tight, making it suitable for environments with increased humidity or dampness. It is oil-resistant up to +80°C, petrol-resistant, and largely resistant to acids and solvents. These properties make it a reliable solution in chemically demanding environments. Additionally, the hose is silicone-, cadmium-, and halogen-free, enhancing environmental compatibility and safety during use. The flame-retardant property, certified according to UL 94 V2, reduces fire risk during operation.

Technology Explained Simply

The hose is made of polyamide (PA), a high-strength plastic offering high mechanical load capacity and thermal stability. The corrugated structure enables flexible cable guidance without compromising mechanical strength. The temperature resistance ranges from -40°C to +120°C, with short-term loads up to +150°C possible. Approvals according to EN/IEC 61386-23, UL 1696, CSA 22.2, as well as approvals from Lloyds Register of Shipping, UK-CA, and DNV, guarantee compliance with international safety and quality standards. The CE marking confirms conformity with applicable European standards.

Compatibility and Accessories

The ROHRflex PA 6 S AD42,5 is designed for use with various cables and wires used in industrial electrical installations. It is compatible with other products in the ROHRflex series, particularly for applications requiring easy installation and secure cable routing.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out by simply inserting the cables into the hose. The corrugated structure allows for easy and flexible routing, while mechanical strength is ensured by the rings inside. Mounting does not require special tools, although careful securing of hose sections to machines or equipment is recommended to ensure safe and durable installation.

Operational Advantages

The ROHRflex PA 6 S AD42,5 offers high mechanical strength and chemical resistance, extending the service life of installed cables. The flame-retardant property and UV resistance enhance safety and reliability during operation. Approvals according to international standards ensure compliance with safety requirements in various industries. The slim profile of the hose allows for compact routing, which is advantageous in confined installation spaces. REACH and RoHS compliance ensures environmental compatibility and suitability for use in sensitive applications.
