Flexible braids and splints

Braids and flexible rails - versatile solutions for the industry

Braids and flexible rails are key elements in modern electrical and hydraulic installations.   At Onninen we offer a wide range of these products. Our experience shows that they are essential in many industries. We often come across questions about their use. That is why we have prepared a comprehensive guide to this category.

In our offer you will find products of renowned brands. Among them are our own brands: Onnline, Fxa and Opal. We focus on quality and reliability. For this reason, we carefully select suppliers. Our products meet the highest industry standards. They guarantee safety and long-term use.

Types of braids and elastic rails available at Onninen

Our offer includes various types of braids and rails. These include:

• Flexible hoses
• Tinned copper strips
• Copper braids
• Aluminum rails
• Insulating tapes

Each of these products has its own unique properties and applications.   Flexible cables are suitable for areas with limited space. Tinned copper strips offer excellent conductivity. Copper braids are ideal for grounding. Aluminum rails combine lightness with strength.

In everyday practice, we see how important it is to select these elements correctly. Recently, we used copper braids in a project for a large production plant. They ensured effective discharge of electrostatic charges. This is crucial for safety in the chemical industry.

Criteria for selecting braids and flexible rails

Choosing the right braids and elastic rails requires knowledge and experience. At Onninen we help customers with this process. The main criteria to consider are:

• Electrical conductivity
• Corrosion resistance
• Flexibility
• Mechanical resistance
• Operating temperature range

The correct selection of these elements is crucial for the safety and efficiency of the installation.   When modernizing old industrial facilities, we often recommend replacing the rails with new, flexible models. This significantly improves the safety and reliability of the entire system.

Our experience shows that many companies underestimate the role of braids and flexible rails. In the meantime, they are crucial for the proper functioning of the installation. In one of the projects for a logistics company, the use of flexible aluminum rails solved the problem of overloads. This allowed to avoid costly downtime.

Applications of braids and flexible rails in various industries

Braids and flexible rails are used in many sectors. They are most often found in:

• Electrical industry
• Energy
• Transport
• Telecommunications
• Construction

In each of these industries, braids and flexible rails play a key role in ensuring safety and efficiency.   In the electrical industry, they are essential for the construction of switchboards. In the power industry, they are used to transmit high-intensity current. Transport uses them in electric vehicles.

An interesting example is the use of copper braids in modern data centers. They provide effective grounding for sensitive IT equipment. In one of our recent projects for a large computing center, we used special braids with increased conductivity. This allowed us to optimize the cooling system and save energy.

In construction, braids and flexible rails are increasingly used in intelligent buildings. They enable flexible electrical installations. This is especially important when office space arrangements are frequently changed. Our solutions have proven themselves in many modern office complexes.

Braids and flexible rails are also key elements in renewable energy systems.   In photovoltaic installations, they ensure efficient energy transfer from panels to inverters. In wind farms, they are used for connections in turbine nacelles. Our products operate successfully in many such installations throughout the country.

Many customers ask us about the possibilities of using braids and flexible rails in the modernization of old installations. This is a very good direction. Replacing rigid connections with flexible ones often solves problems with vibrations and thermal stresses. In one of the production plants, such modernization significantly increased the reliability of the production line.

At Onninen we offer not only products but also expert advice. Our experts will help you choose the best solutions. We also organize training for installers and designers. Thanks to this, our customers can be sure that they are using the most modern and safest solutions.

Braids and elastic rails are an area where technology is constantly evolving.   New materials and structures are emerging. At Onninen, we are constantly monitoring these trends. We work with leading manufacturers and research institutes. This allows us to offer our customers always up-to-date and innovative solutions.

It is worth emphasizing that choosing the right braids and elastic rails is an investment in safety and efficiency. Seemingly small savings on these elements can lead to serious problems in the future. That is why we always recommend using high-quality products from proven suppliers.
