Proterra Power Unveils Game-Changing Flexible Spiral Cable for Demanding Applications

BURLINGAME, CA – October 26, 2023 – Proterra Power, a leading provider of innovative power solutions, today announced the launch of its revolutionary flexible spiral cable, designed to dramatically improve performance and reliability in a wide array of industries. Based in Burlingame, California, and reachable at 254-542-8622, Proterra Power has been quietly building a reputation for tackling tough engineering challenges with smart, practical solutions. This new cable is a prime example. For years, engineers have struggled with the limitations of traditional cabling in applications requiring constant movement, extreme temperatures, or tight spaces. Whether it's robotics, aerospace, medical devices, or even industrial automation, cables are often the weakest link. They fray, break down, and ultimately cause costly downtime and repairs. Proterra Power saw this pain point and decided to do something about it. "We're not just making cables; we’re solving problems," says a company spokesperson. "We heard from our customers—folks building really cutting-edge stuff—that they needed a cable that could actually keep up. Something that wouldn’t fall apart after a few thousand flex cycles. And honestly, what was out there just wasn’t cutting it.” The secret sauce? Proterra Power's unique flexible spiral design. Forget about the rigid, multi-strand cables of the past. This cable is built differently. Imagine a spring, but instead of metal, it’s comprised of highly durable, engineered polymers and conductors. This allows for an incredible range of motion without stretching, kinking, or breaking. What makes this cable different? Let's break it down. Traditional cables rely on individual wires bundled together. Over time, these wires rub against each other, causing wear and tear. Proterra Power’s spiral design actually protects the conductors. Each conductor is individually shielded within the spiral structure, minimizing friction and maximizing longevity. “It’s like giving each wire its own little protective bubble,” explains an engineer on the project. “That drastically reduces wear and tear, even under extreme stress.” But it’s not just about durability. The spiral design also offers several other key advantages: Increased Flexibility: This cable can bend and twist in ways traditional cables simply can’t. This makes it ideal for applications where space is tight or movement is complex. Enhanced Reliability: By protecting the conductors, the cable is significantly less prone to failure, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Improved Signal Integrity: The shielding provided by the spiral design minimizes interference, ensuring clean and reliable signal transmission. Lightweight Design: Compared to bulky, traditional cables, Proterra Power’s spiral cable is significantly lighter, which can be critical in weight-sensitive applications like robotics and aerospace. Temperature Resistance: The materials used in construction are engineered to withstand a wide range of temperatures, making the cable suitable for harsh environments. Beyond the Specs: Real-World Applications Proterra Power’s flexible spiral cable isn’t just about fancy engineering; it's about solving real-world problems. Here are just a few examples of how this cable is making a difference: Robotics: In industrial robotics, where robots are constantly moving and manipulating objects, cable failure is a major issue. Proterra Power’s cable provides the flexibility and durability needed to keep robots operating smoothly and reliably. Think about those arms welding cars on an assembly line – they need cables that won’t break down. Aerospace: In aircraft and spacecraft, cables must withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, and constant movement. This cable meets these demands, ensuring reliable performance in even the most challenging environments. From flight control systems to in-flight entertainment, this cable is ready for the skies. Medical Devices: In minimally invasive surgery and other medical applications, flexibility and reliability are paramount. This cable allows for precise control and signal transmission, improving patient outcomes. Imagine a tiny camera navigating inside the body – it needs a reliable connection. Industrial Automation: In factories and other industrial settings, cables are exposed to harsh conditions and constant wear and tear. Proterra Power’s cable provides the durability needed to keep production lines running smoothly. Electric Vehicles (EVs): While Proterra Power is well-known for its battery systems for commercial vehicles, this new cable offering expands their reach. High-flex applications within EVs, like charging port connections or internal wiring, benefit from the cable’s reliability and longevity. A Company Focused on Innovation Proterra Power’s commitment to innovation extends beyond just this new cable. The company has been a leader in the development of high-performance battery systems for commercial vehicles, and they are constantly exploring new technologies to improve power delivery and reliability. “We’re a team of engineers and problem-solvers,” says the spokesperson. “We’re not afraid to tackle tough challenges, and we’re always looking for ways to make things better. This cable is just one example of our commitment to innovation." Availability Proterra Power’s flexible spiral cable is available now in a variety of sizes, configurations, and materials.
