Seamless Flexible/Non-Twistable Waveguide
The non-twistable cores are also silver clad and are locked by solder wire which is then melted to form a continuous fillet running the entire length of the seam. Non-twistable cores can be pressurized without an outer jacket.
The twistable cores are silver clad and are locked by a plated wire inserted into their seam during winding. An outer jacket is required to enable the twisted core to be pressurized. Flexible waveguides are manufactured from helically wound silver plated copper alloy strip material which allows the waveguides to twist and bend in the E and H planes simultaneously.
Seamless flexible/non-twistable and flexible twistable core may be used in conjunction with rigid waveguide to produce hybrid assemblies. Many of these designs may be complex Multiple bends and twists, with the flexible section Included to eliminate vibration or misalignment.
