When filling Triflex® R, sufficient clearance needs to be provided for all electric cables, pneumatic and media hoses, in order to compensate for forces from relative motion between the cables and hoses. As a rule of thumb, the following values apply:
- The total of cable/hose diameters must not exceed 60% of the available cross section of their Triflex R component.
- A clearance of at least 10% (min. 1 mm) between any two cables/hoses.
- Cables/hoses need to be able to move freely inside the Triflex® R.
