Trailing & towing
Primary flexible feeder for arc-welding sets, slag-pot transfer cars, and hot-shop mobile tools.
Product
KGTn (flexible copper) and AKGTn (flexible aluminium) are heat-resistant ('T', +90 °C) flexible rubber power and arc-welding cables manufactured to GOST 24334 / TU 16.K73. The 'n' suffix specifies an oil-resistant, flame-retardant polychloroprene (nairit)
Typical values for this cable type, based on GOST 24334 / TU 16.K73 — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Engineered for hot industrial environments up to +55 °C ambient, including foundry cranes, metallurgical transfer cars, arc-welding electrode leads, and tropical plant machinery.
Primary flexible feeder for arc-welding sets, slag-pot transfer cars, and hot-shop mobile tools.
Widely used on overhead foundry and steel-mill crane festoons exposed to radiant heat.
Suitable for spring and motorized transfer-car cable reels at up to 15 N/mm² tensile load.
+90 °C heat-resistant ('T') rubber withstands elevated ambient temperatures near kilns and furnaces.
Splash and rain resistant; select AD8-rated H07RN8-F or S1BN8-F for permanent water submersion.
