In aerospace design, some of our biggest cable issues are abrasion and cut-through in doors and landing gear. How can we improve cable performance in these situations?
Cable routing and cable management are the most obvious way to reduce abrasion and cut-through, but routing can only go so far because you have to clamp tightly and it is a very cold environment in the wheel well. These cables are also exposed to contaminants such as salt spray and hydraulic fluids. I recommend that you list all of the environmental, mechanical, and electrical factors that come into play in this application. I think that one of the solutions containing engineered PTFE materials would be an excellent choice because of our ability to improve cut-through and abrasion resistance.
