    Default Black Conduit tubing Brand

    Looking for the brand name of conduit tubing used in Multicam CNC machines. Mine is a 1999 MG 103. They are high quality and I need to run a new tube. I'd like to use the same brand/type. To be clear this is the conduit running from the machine to the control main panel.

    Do you mean Metallic Flexible conduit?
    I use this extensively and it is available usually from any local electrical supplier, including the necessary fittings, the nice thing is you can run it with MTW or THHN wiring.

    No this is black plastic type, very rugged (it may be wire reinforced, not sure on that). I remember reading a Multicam post about it but I cannot find it. In attached photo it is conduit I am referring to.

    The type I use appears the same but has a flexible metalic conduit under the plastic cover, if it is not required to be constantly flexing then I prefer this due to its inherent shielding qualities.
    The end conduit fittings can also be used with MS style adaptor fitting. If needed.

    What most are using is this PMAFLEX or similar there are a few different manufacturers, it comes in two Profiles T and G

    The Shielding is only as good as who installs it. the Metalic Shielding part has to be correctly Terminated for it to have any affect.

    The Liquatite® Flexible Electrical Conduit does not have a flex rating suitable for CNC machines moving axis, it is very good for nonmoving wire Cable protection though.

    I am running Clearpaths and my spindle cable is an Igus motor cable, so in theory there isn't much noise (they are in a preexisting conduit). This new conduit would be mainly for 24v powered buttons and solenoids (they have flyback diodes on them). It is just running from the Control panel to the machine itself.

    For terminating in metallic enclosures each end, the shield earth is terminated each end automatically via the manuf. proper fittings used in the installation.
    Presumably those doing the installation are qualified! in the products use.?

    The flex conduit shown does not appear to be as sturdy as the flex metallic conduit, if minimum flexing is going to occur, I would prefer that use that product, if for no more than added protection.
