TEBAOFLEX Flexible Spring Cable, also known as flexible spiral cable or coiled cable, is designed for equipment that needs a retractable cable connection without loose cable hanging around the working area. The cable can extend during operation and return to a compact coil shape after use, helping keep the installation cleaner and easier to manage.
This type of cable is commonly used in industrial control systems, mobile machinery, crane pendant controls, lifting equipment, automation devices, vehicle connections, charging equipment and handheld electrical tools. Depending on the working environment, TEBAOFLEX can supply PVC, PUR, rubber or halogen-free sheath options.
For demanding industrial use, PUR spring cable is often selected because of its abrasion resistance, oil resistance and good recovery performance. PVC spring cable is suitable for general indoor control and connection applications. Rubber spring cable can be considered where higher mechanical toughness or outdoor flexibility is required.

Why Choose TEBAOFLEX Flexible Spring Cable?
A spring cable is not only about cable material. Coil diameter, recovery force, extension length, conductor size and sheath hardness all affect real service performance. TEBAOFLEX helps select the proper cable construction according to movement frequency, working length, installation space and environmental exposure.
For projects requiring oil resistance, outdoor durability or frequent extension, PUR or rubber sheath designs are usually recommended. For general indoor control applications, PVC spring cable can be a practical and cost-effective option.
FAQ
What is a flexible spring cable used for?
It is used for retractable power, control or signal connections in equipment that needs repeated extension and recovery, such as cranes, tools, automation systems and mobile machinery.
What is the difference between spring cable and ordinary flexible cable?
A spring cable is formed into a coil shape, allowing it to extend and retract. Ordinary flexible cable can bend, but it does not automatically return to a compact spiral shape.
Can TEBAOFLEX customize spring cable length and material?
Yes. Coil length, straight end length, conductor size, core number, sheath material, color and screened structure can be customized according to project requirements.
