Habia's Key Strengths


Modern technology places extreme demands on the technical infrastructure of devices: from the transmission of high-resolution data to miniaturization and the integration of multiple functions within a single cable. The limits of what is technically feasible also depend on the expertise of the cable architect involved. Each of these areas presents numerous challenges. However, things become particularly challenging when dealing with physical limits or the combination of requirements from multiple areas.

  • Exceptional manufacturing expertise with numerous patented processes
  • Extensive expertise in materials, with registered own-brand products such as Silindo
  • Decades of experience and specialist knowledge from highly demanding sectors such as aviation, medical technology and defence
  • Application-specific engineering expertise with in-house cable architects and
    specialists from the respective core industries

Here at Habia, we really hit our stride when it comes to combined challenges in the following areas:

Conduct

Habia cables are high-performance connectors. They often transmit multiple signals simultaneously:

  • Electricity
  • Data (e.g., high-resolution camera data)
  • Signals
  • Media (gases, water, coolants)
  • Light (e.g., laser)

Features

Each of our cables is precisely tailored to your specific application. With special features such as, for example

  • Flexibility and/or Stability
  • Extremely small bending radii
  • Cleanroom Optimization
  • Durability, even under extreme conditions
  • Fault-free operation
  • Minimal operating noise
  • Minimum weight
  • Specific Requirements for the Body Geometry

Strains

Habia cables prove their worth every day under extreme conditions

  • Vibration and Shocks
  • Biocompatibility
  • Increased electrical loads
  • Heat (up to 1550°) and cold (down to -273°)
  • Exposure to Radioactivity or X-Rays
  • Limited installation space
  • Electromagnetic Radiation
  • Humidity
  • Chemicals
  • Vacuum
  • High-pressure steam
  • Decontamination
  • Autoclaving
  • Bending, Friction, Torsion, Buckling Loads

Manufacturing Expertise

Habia has mastered complex manufacturing processes

  • Miniature manufacturing starting at 0.0125 mm
  • Special Cable Jackets
  • Material Selection for Demanding Applications - Material Expertise at the Highest Level
  • Umbrella Materials
  • Banding
  • Reinforcements
  • Special Surface Properties
  • Custom Cable Architecture
  • Strain relief for mechanical loads
  • A wide range of certifications in fields such as medical technology, defense, and aviation

  • Manufacturing R&D
    Water-blocked cables
    Water-blocked cables and harnesses prevent water entering and travelling longitudinally along a cable – and damaging whatever equipment you have at the end of it. At Habia, we typically use a low-temperature, halogen-free material to fill all voids in the cable, making it virtually impossible for water to enter.

  • Cases & Stories
    Habia and PTFE go back a long way
    Habia was one of the first companies in Europe to make use of Polytetrafluoroethylene - PTFE, and also one of the first to manufacture PTFE wires and cables as early as 1957, only four years after DuPont introduced the material on the market.
