Is your machinery cable failing too soon?
Picture this. Your production line is running fast. Suddenly, the system stops. You check the control cabinet. The cable inside the drag chain is broken. The copper wires are exposed. Oil has leaked onto the jacket and made it sticky and soft. This happens because you used a standard cable that cannot handle constant movement.In industrial automation, cables face a tough life. They move back and forth millions of times. They rub against metal edges. They get covered in cooling oil and metal chips. If your cable is not built for this, it will crack. It will cause signal errors. It will stop your machines.You need a cable that does not just survive. It needs to thrive in harsh conditions. You need the German-made 12-core 0.75mm² high-flexibility drag chain cable with Polyurethane PUR 855P jacket. This is not a cheap PVC cable. This is a heavy-duty solution designed for extreme motion, oil resistance, and long life.
What makes PUR 855P special?
Let’s talk about the jacket. Most cheap cables use PVC. PVC gets stiff in the cold and sticky in the heat. It cracks easily when bent.This cable uses PUR 855P. PUR stands for Polyurethane. This material is tough. It is the first line of defense for the cable.
Amazing flexibility
This cable has a bending radius of only 5 times the outer diameter. For a 12-core 0.75mm² cable, this means it can bend very tightly without damaging the wires inside. You can use it in narrow energy chains where other cables get stuck.
Tough against wear
Drag chains create friction. The cable rubs against the chain walls. PUR 855P has high abrasion resistance. It resists cutting and tearing. Even if sharp metal edges touch it, the jacket stays strong. It protects the inner cores from mechanical stress.
Chemical and Oil Resistance
Your factory likely uses cutting oil, coolant, or hydraulic oil. These liquids destroy normal cables. They eat into the insulation. PUR 855P is highly resistant to mineral oils, synthetic oils, and coolant emulsions. It is also resistant to diluted acids and alkaline solutions. You can wash it down without worry.
Cold weather performance
Does your factory get cold? Normal cables become brittle and snap in winter. This PUR jacket stays flexible down to -40°C. It works perfectly in cold storage or outdoor applications in winter.

Why these specs matter to you:The “Finely stranded” copper means the wire is made of many tiny threads. It does not break when you bend it. The “Dry lubricant” inside reduces friction between the cores. This prevents the wires from grinding each other down during movement.
Where should you use this cable?
This 12-core 0.75mm² cable is perfect for medium-duty power and control signals. It fits many machines.
Automated Manufacturing Systems
Use this in assembly lines. Connect PLCs to servo motors. Send signals to sensors. The cable moves millions of times. It keeps the signal stable.
Gantry Robots and Pick & Place Units
Robots move fast. They accelerate up to 50 m/s². A stiff cable slows them down. This high-flex cable moves with the robot arm. It does not add drag.
Conveyor Systems and Machine Tools
In steel mills or woodworking shops, there is dust, oil, and heat. PUR 855P resists all of it. It is great for CNC machines and transfer lines.
Heavy Machinery and Cranes
For crane controls, the cable needs to handle tension. The PUR jacket has high tensile strength. It resists being pulled or squashed.
Outdoor and Wet Environments
The UV resistance means sunlight won’t crack the jacket. The water resistance makes it good for outdoor installations or wash-down areas in food processing.
EMC Sensitive Areas
The copper braid shield (85% coverage) stops electromagnetic interference. This is crucial if you have VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives) nearby. It stops noise from messing up your data signals.
