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 plastic material and in which the plastic material is cooled, and includes a step in which the lubricating material is applied to the surface of the cable. The cable includes at least one conductor core and at least one coating of plastic material and incorporates a lubricating material on the exterior coating. The equipment for the manufacturing of electrical cable includes a reel for supplying a conductor wire to an extruding head, which is connected to a tank containing plastic material for coating the conducting wire, a reel for taking up the cable, and a device for the application of a lubricating material onto the surface of 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 on the exterior coating of the plastic material.
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 the application of a lubricating material onto the surface of the coated cable.
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 amines, 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.
