The Quiet All-Rounder for Demanding Environments
UNIFLEX Advanced Series
Light, quiet all-rounder cable carrier with ball-joint opening stays and extensive subdivision options. Available in ESD, heat-resistant, and flame-resistant variants across seven inner height sizes for a wide range of demanding applications including semiconductor, medical, and high-temperature machinery.
Why Choose UNIFLEX Advanced Series?
Opens Either Side for Any Installation
Ball-joint opening stays allow the UNIFLEX Advanced to open inward or outward at any position along its length. This makes cable laying and maintenance access straightforward regardless of carrier orientation or mounting position.
Built for Specialist Environments
Standard PA66 performs well in most applications, but UNIFLEX Advanced goes further. ESD-dissipative variants protect static-sensitive electronics. Heat-resistant grades handle elevated ambient temperatures. Flame-retardant versions meet fire safety regulations in machine builder markets.
Rotating and 3D Motion Capable
Lateral wear surfaces are built into the side links, allowing the UNIFLEX Advanced to be used in rotating or triaxially articulating configurations without premature link wear — a capability absent from simpler carrier designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the ball-joint opening stay better than a standard hinge?
A standard opening stay opens only in one fixed direction. The ball-joint design in UNIFLEX Advanced allows the crossbar to open inward or outward from any point along the carrier's length, giving full flexibility regardless of how the carrier is mounted.
What temperature rating does the heat-resistant variant offer?
The heat-resistant (HTR) variant of the UNIFLEX Advanced is rated up to +150°C continuous ambient temperature, compared to the standard +80°C. This covers applications near machine tool spindles, ovens, and hot process equipment.
Can the ESD variant be used in ISO Class 5 cleanroom environments?
The UNIFLEX Advanced ESD variant controls static discharge but is not classified as an ISO Class 1 cleanroom carrier. For certified ISO Class 1 operation, Tsubaki's CLEANVEYOR system is the appropriate solution. Contact RSTECH to assess your specific cleanroom requirement.
