Cable failure in drag chains is one of the top maintenance headaches in motion control systems. Repeated bending breaks conductors, shielding degrades, and signal loss brings production lines to a stop — especially with servo encoders running at high speed and high cycle counts.This 10-core 0.25mm² shielded servo encoder cable is engineered for exactly that. PUR polyurethane jacket, tinned copper braid shield, and a flexible stranded core layout built to survive continuous flex in energy chains, cable carriers, and robotic arms. It carries encoder signals reliably where standard PVC cables fail within weeks.Core Specifications

Why This Cable Outperforms in Demanding Motion Applications
- PUR jacket handles real shop-floor conditions. Resists cutting oils, coolants, hydraulic fluids, and abrasion. Unlike PVC, it won’t crack or stiffen after exposure to machine lubricants — a common failure point on CNC centers and injection molding machines.
- Signal integrity holds up under constant flex. The optimized lay length and tinned copper braid keep capacitance low and EMI protection high. Tested at 10 million bending cycles with less than 5% attenuation increase — critical for servo encoders and resolver feedback loops.
- Fits tight drag chains without jamming. The compact 6.8mm OD and small bend radius make it compatible with most standard and mini cable carriers, including Igus, Kabelschlepp, and Murrplastik systems. No more oversized cables forcing you to upsize the chain.
- Halogen-free and low smoke. Meets European machine safety directives. If your equipment ships to EU markets or installs in enclosed cabinets, this matters for fire safety compliance.
