- Application-specific solutions: you choose between different core counts, sheath materials, and screening variations to create the optimal cable for your requirements.
- Assembled solutions: save time with installation-ready spiral cables with connectors and project-specific assemblies.
- Technical expertise: we are here to provide you with competent advice when it comes to choosing the right cable for your application.
What is a spiral cable, and where are they used?
Spiral cables are distinguished by their spiral shape. They are able to stretch with tensile forces and then return to their original form. Spiral cables perform impressively anywhere where moving connections are required and space is limited. The spiral prevents the cable from becoming damaged or tangled on the floor.
They are typically used in machines with moving components, mobile implements, or applications with frequent connection and separation operations. Their compact construction saves valuable space and reduces the risk of tripping in work areas.

What types of spiral cables does HELUKABEL offer?
HELUKABEL produces spiral cables for different requirements:
- Core count: we have spiral cables with 2, 4, or more cores depending on your electricity and signal cable needs. For towing connections, we offer special variations such as 7-pin and 13-pin spiral cables constructed according to common standards.
- Sheath materials: PVC spiral cables are suited for standard applications in protected areas. PUR spiral cables are resistant to oils, chemicals, and mechanical loads found in harsh industrial environments.
- Screening: screened spiral cables protect sensitive signals from electromagnetic interference, reliably transmitting data and control signals.
- Spiral cables with plugs: for plug-and-play solutions, we deliver spiral cable assemblies with installed connectors according to your specific needs.
What industries are spiral cables best suited for?
Spiral cables are found in a number of areas of industry: in automation technology, 2 and 4-core variations connect moving machine parts, in vehicles, 7-pin and 13-pin spiral cables create flexible connections between towing vehicles and trailers. In medical technology, they are used for mobile equipment, and in agriculture, they are used in tractors and machinery. Spiral cables also serve reliably in conveyor technology, connecting hand scanners in warehouses, or supplying power and signals to machine tools.
FAQ
No, not every cable is able to be spiraled. The spiral construction requires specific mechanical characteristics and the right construction. HELUKABEL produces spiral cables in proven designs for typical applications and develops customer-specific solutions where necessary.
