The present invention includes a cable having reduced surface friction and the method of manufacture thereof having steps in which a conductor wire is coated with a mixture of a plastic material and lubricating material and in which the coated conductor wire is cooled. The cable includes at least one conductor core and at least one coating of plastic material and incorporates a lubricating material in and/or on the plastic material. The equipment for the manufacturing of electrical cable includes a reel for supplying a conductor wire to an extruding head, which is connected to tanks containing plastic material and lubricating material for coating the conducting wire, and a reel for taking up the cable.
A method for the manufacture of an electrical cable including:
An electrical cable including at least one conductor core and at least one coating of plastic material having a lubricating material incorporated therein.
An apparatus for the manufacture of an electrical cable including a reel for supplying a conductor wire to an extruding head, said extruding head connected to a tank containing plastic material for coating the conducting wire, and a reel for taking up the cable, including a device for providing a lubricating material to the extruding head.
An apparatus for the manufacture of an electrical cable including a reel for supplying a conductor wire to an extruding head, said extruding head connected to a tank containing plastic material for coating the conducting wire, and a reel for taking up the cable, including a device for providing a lubricating material to the tank containing plastic material.
A method for manufacturing an electrical cable, comprising:
A method for manufacturing an electrical cable, comprising:
A material for reducing the friction between the outer surface of a cable and a structure which the cable contacts selected from the group consisting of fatty amides, fatty acids, fatty esters, metallic fatty acids, and mixtures thereof.
A composition of matter comprising a lubricating material mixed with a plastic material, said lubricating material selected from the group consisting of fatty amides, fatty acids, fatty esters, metallic fatty acids, and mixtures thereof.
