Braided sleeving

Braided sleeves are mainly used to limit mechanical damage, wear, and exposure to external influences for cables. Thanks to the woven structure, they offer protection against abrasion and kinks while maintaining the flexibility of the cables. This allows both the cables and the braided sleeve to be used in complex or irregular shapes. The sleeve also provides a neater bundling and finishing of cable groups, which enhances both safety and organization. Braided sleeve is typically used for the following four applications:

• Bundling cables and hoses
• Protecting cables and hoses
• Preventing overheating
• Marking

WKK supplies braided sleeves for professional use. Depending on your application, WKK offers braided sleeves in different sizes. You will find the right braided sleeve for your application with us.

Braided sleeves are resistant to temperatures ranging from -50°C to +150°C and have a melting point of +250°C. WKK offers braided sleeves in various sizes. Whether you need a diameter of 3mm or 50mm, we have the right braided sleeve for you. Our braided sleeve is made of Polyester PET and stretches at a ratio of 1:2.

Due to the braided structure, braided sleeves are self-extinguishing. Additionally, no condensation forms on the braided sleeve, and they are resistant to chemicals. Polyester PET is a lightweight yet robust material. It is also highly flexible.

The braided sleeve expands when the sleeve is compressed from both sides. This allows cables and hoses to easily pass through the braided sleeve. When the pressure is released (sides no longer compressed), the braided sleeve returns to its original size.

Our braided sleeves are available in various diameters and lengths, making them suitable for small to large bundles. The following sizes are available in our range:

Braided sleeves are used in both industrial installations and technical solutions for machine and panel construction. They are suitable for bundling and protecting cables in varying environments, including outdoor applications where temperature fluctuations and UV influence are present. They are also commonly used in the maritime sector or vehicle construction, for example, to neatly bundle hoses and cables and protect them from wear.

For installation, slide the braided sleeve over the cable or bundle. Thanks to the flexibility of the braided material, you can also apply it around uneven shapes or existing cable routes. Ensure that the sleeve fits snugly around the bundle and that the ends are neatly finished to prevent fraying. Sometimes, heat treatment or tape sealing at the ends is recommended to ensure a neat finish and longer lifespan. It is also important that the bundle is free of sharp edges or burrs that could damage the sleeve before installation.
