Does your cable break, crack, or lose signal in tough environments?
You work with heavy machines. Servo motors move. Robot arms swing. Cables get pulled, twisted, and dragged. Standard wires crack. Oil leaks on them. They get stiff in the cold. Then your machine stops. You lose money. You need a cable that moves as much as your machine does. It must not break. It must keep the signal strong. It must resist oil, coolant, and sharp edges. This is not just a wire. It is a life-line for your expensive equipment. We built this German DESINA standard cable to solve these headaches. It is flexible like a snake. It is tough like a tank. It is made for the real world, not just a clean lab.
What makes this 40-core cable special? (The Tech Specs)
This cable is built layer by layer to handle stress. We do not cut corners. Here is exactly what is inside:##### The Conductor CoreWe use bare copper wires. They are not just one solid stick. They are many tiny wires twisted together. This is Class 5 flexibility. It means the cable bends easily without snapping.
- Cores: 40 cores total.
- Size: Each core is 0.2 square mm (AWG approx 24). Small wires fit in tight spaces.
- Material: High-purity copper for best signal flow.
- Colors: Black cores with white numbers (1 to 40). One Green/Yellow core for ground. Easy to read.
##### Insulation and ShieldingEach copper wire has a special plastic coat. We use XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene). It is strong and handles heat well.
- Shielding: We wrap the cores in a tin-plated copper braid. This stops “noise.” Noise is bad electrical interference from other machines. This shield keeps your control signals clean.
- Coverage: The shield covers about 70% to 90% of the cable. This is high coverage for better protection.
##### The Outer Jacket (Armor)This is the skin of the cable. We use PUR (Polyurethane). It is not cheap PVC. PUR is better.
- Color: Pastel Orange (RAL 2003). Easy to spot in the factory.
- Properties: It resists oil, coolant, and cutting fluids. It is halogen-free. It does not release toxic smoke if it burns.
- Tear Strip: We put a rip cord inside the jacket. You can strip the outer skin fast. No tools needed. Save time on installation.
How tough is it? (Performance Data)
Numbers do not lie. Here is what this cable can handle. It passes strict tests.##### Bending and Movement
- Bend Radius (Fixed): You can bend it 4 times its outer diameter. It stays safe.
- Bend Radius (Moving): In moving chains (e-chains), it needs 7.5 times the diameter. For a 16mm cable, that is 120mm. It moves smoothly without kinking.
- Speed: It works at speeds up to 5 meters per second (gliding) or 10 m/s (air).
- Acceleration: Handles up to 80 m/s². Fast robot moves are no problem.
- Torsion: No torsion allowed. Do not twist it around its own axis like a screw.
##### Temperature and Environment
- Cold: It stays flexible down to -40°C. Good for cold storage or winter outdoors.
- Heat: It works up to +80°C (fixed) or +70°C (moving).
- Oil Resistance: Class 3 oil resistance. It sits in oil and does not get soft or rot.
- Flame Retardant: It passes IEC 60332-1-2. It does not spread fire.
- Other: Resists microbes, hydrolysis, and even offshore mud (NEK 606).
##### Electrical Power
- Voltage: Rated for 600/1000 Volts.
- Test Voltage: Tested at 4000 Volts to ensure safety.
- Certifications: UL, CSA, DESINA, CE, RoHS, REACH. It is safe for export to USA, Europe, and Asia.
Where should you use this cable?
This cable fits many jobs. It is perfect for places with movement and oil.##### Servo Motors and DrivesConnect your Control Techniques or Siemens servo drives to motors. The 40 cores give you room for power, ground, and many control signals (like encoder data). The shield stops the motor noise from messing up the data.##### Robotics and CNCRobot arms drag cables behind them. Use this in the cable chain. It lasts for millions of cycles. It resists the coolant splashing on the machine.##### Assembly Lines and ConveyorsMoving belts need flexible cables. If the cable is stiff, it gets caught in gears. This cable stays flexible. It handles the vibration of the factory floor.##### Outdoor and Harsh AreasThe PUR jacket resists UV rays (medium resistance) and rain. It is good for outdoor control boxes.##### Audio and Data (Special Use)While it is a power/control cable, the high shielding makes it good for low-voltage signals in noisy factories. Use it for sensor lines or communication buses where interference is a problem.Why buy from us?We are a factory, not just a trader. We know cables.
