The flexibility to pull, twist, stretch, or bend a section of tubing is often a must in many manufacturing processes. Coiled tubing can be the solution. By taking flexible, semi- rigid, or rigid material and wrapping it into a coil, extraordinary flexibility can be achieved. Coiled tubing and hose is used in industries such as food and beverage, robotics, laboratories, and as supply lines for air and various fluids.
Both coiled nylon and polyurethane offer resistance to chemicals, oils, and greases. Nylon also works well for solvents and alkalies, and it offers a very low degree of moisture absorption. Polyurethane handles fuels and the effects of weather and provides extra protection against kinking and abrasion.*
Tubing I.D. sizes ranging from 116" through 58" can be coiled. Retracted lengths can vary up to a maximum overall length of 4 feet including specified tail lengths. Expanded lengths vary depending on coil diameter and are estimated based on material, stress on the tubing when expanded, and how the tubing responds to retraction. Contact a sales representative to help you design a retractable coil to fit your application.
