These high-flexibility PVC-insulated control cables are designed for applications where cable flexibility is needed. These cables are used for instrumentation, control and connecting of control units in mechanical tool construction, conveyor and assembly lines, production lines, in plant and equipment construction, in robotics and logistics systems, industrial handling; any areas where continuous bending loads for free movement without tensile load and without forced movement in the cable trailing chain is required.

These cables are suitable for installation in dry and moist rooms, not however for outdoor or underground installation.

Characteristic features

•  First-class mechanical properties and high flexibility of the cable are optimised by the design and construction of short optimum pitch, lay-up without straight centre core, separation over the outer layer and use of special PVC compounds for conductor insulation and sheath.
•  Installation and identification of individual conductors made easier by the imprint of sequential numbering.

Installation Notes

•  Correct installation of the cable, assembly and operational set-up are prerequisites for the service life of the cable.
•  Allowance shall be made for acceleration, traversing rate, traverse distance, bending radius and ambient air temperature in the trailing chain application, refer also to the installation notes given in the Technical Guidelines.

Durability

•  The PVC sheath is largely resistant to oils (depending on the type of oil), excluding VDE 0472 part 803.
•  Chemical resistance for PVC refer also to the Table of Technical Guidelines.
