Polygon Tube ™ Tube is the World Standard. These Filament woven composite tubes have set a precedent for electrical insulation with their superior dielectric properties. The polygon Tube is being used today in millions of hand-held power tools, appliance motors and other electrical equipment throughout the world.

Major Advantages:
- Assembly equipment
- Simple press and minor tooling
- Sophisticated, automated equipment (600 pcs/hr)
- Reduction in scrap costs
- Molding has been known to produce large scrap due to porosity in the material; thus failing hypot tests.
- Tube can be pressed off and the rest of assembly can be reused (rework is possible)
- Designed for optimum motor performance
- UL listed material (AFW G-10)



Additional Advantages
-Design flexibility – any size is possible
-Reduce design change implementation time
-Lead time for new tooling is only 4 – 6 weeks
-Reduce changeover time
-Indefinite shelf life (mold material has life of 60-120 days)
-Lower energy requirements
-Environmentally friendly
-OVERALL A LOWER COST PRODUCT
