Our new technology will change the way harnesses are built, installed and maintained
X-Lok
X1, XT and XC are designed to integrate together.
X-Lok employs the latest AM technology. Using Next Generation high performance thermosets. X-Lok can manage any application, anywhere, operating in temperatures ranging from the deep cold of outer space to very high temperature aero engines.
AM uses net material, with no waste.
X-Lok - a 100% sustainable contribution to net-zero.
No other system compares.
X-Lok backshells and transitions are uniquely tool-less, reversible and reusable with non-destructive disassembly, compatible with both braids and open wrappable sleeve technology, giving easy access for maintenance and repair. Manufactured in high performance thermosets, backshells are up to 83% lighter and 10x faster to assemble (than a grafted system for open-sleeve attachment). Transitions are up to 90% lighter, 25x faster. When metallised, they match the 260°C rating of open sleeves.
X1 SR (strain relief) backshells are ideal for basic line-fit applications.
X1 SP (sleeve protection) variants, as well as providing strain relief, fasten and lock the protective sleeve to shield the harness. Uniquely, they simply manage closed braids as well as ‘open’ sleeves.
XT is a transition system that manages cable bundle splits with ease and speed, without the need for complexity.
Using XC Micro friction-self-locking lacing-tape clips and snap together housings, XT is the only system dedicated to simpler transition management.
XC Micro friction-self-locking lacing tape clips are a stand-alone product. Lacing tape is often used to secure open sleeves and to construct transitions by tying off the splits several times before and after each branch. Extra tape is required for the operator to manually tie each complex knot and the extra tape is cut off as waste.

XC5 (lower left) 0.29grams has additional tape tidy conduits.
With the XC Micro clip system the tape is pre-assembled into the clip body. Having wrapped the sleeve, the tape is fed into the triangular aft lock. Simply pulling on the ‘loose’ end locks the tape
