Is Your Cable Breaking or Causing Machine Errors?
You have a big problem. Your factory machines stop working. The control cable inside the moving part is broken again. Or maybe the signal is not stable. The screen shows errors that are not real. You lose time and money fixing this. Cheap cables crack after a few moves. They get hard in the cold or soft in the heat. Oil leaks onto them and ruins the plastic. You need a cable that moves like a snake but protects the signal like a shield. You need a cable that works for years, not weeks. This is why we use HELUKABEL. It is German-made. It is built for hard work in automation.
What is the HELUKABEL Y-CY Series?
This is not just a wire. It is a high-quality flexible control cable. The model is Y-CY. It comes from Germany. HELUKABEL started in 1978. They know how to make cables for tough jobs. This specific cable has 4 cores. Each core is 1.5 square mm. This size is perfect for control signals and power in small machines. It has a shield. The shield is a metal braid around the wires. It stops noise from other machines. It keeps your data safe. The outer jacket is special. It resists oil and chemicals. It is also flame retardant. You can use it in dry or damp places. It is a reliable choice for engineers.
Technical Specs You Need to Know
Let’s look at the real numbers. You need to know if it fits your project.

- Core Count: 4 Cores
- Cross-Section: 1.5 mm² (approx 14 AWG)
- Conductor Material: Fine-wire tinned copper. Tin stops rust.
- Insulation: Special PVC or PUR mix. It stays flexible.
- Shielding: Copper braid shield. Coverage is high.
- Outer Sheath: PUR (Polyurethane) or PVC. Black color.
- Voltage: Rated 300/500V. Safe for most controls.
- Temperature: -40°C to +100°C. Good for cold stores or hot motors.
- Bending Radius: Fixed: 4x diameter. Moving: 8x diameter.
- Certifications: CE, VDE, CCC, ISO 9001.
- Flame Test: IEC 60332-1. It does not spread fire easily.
Where to Use This Cable?
You can use this cable in many places. It is great for drag chains. Drag chains move back and forth. The cable must bend millions of times. This cable handles that stress.
- CNC Machines: Connect the motor to the controller.
- Robot Arms: The cable moves with the arm. It needs to be light and flexible.
- Conveyor Belts: The cable moves with the belt. It resists dust and dirt.
- Elevators and Lifts: For control signals in the shaft.
- Outdoor Control Boxes: The UV and moisture resistant jacket helps here.
- Woodworking Machinery: It resists wood dust and some chemicals.
- Food Processing: It is non-toxic and easy to clean.
If you have a moving part in your machine, this is the right choice. It solves the pain of short cable life.
Why Choose German Quality?
You might ask, “Why buy this one? There are cheaper ones.” Cheap cables cost more later. When a cheap cable breaks, your machine stops. You pay for a technician. You lose production. HELUKABEL saves this cost. The copper is pure. The shield works better. The jacket does not crack. It is made in strict factories. Every meter is tested. It meets EU standards. It is safe for your workers. It is safe for your equipment. It is a “fit and forget” solution. You install it once and it works for 10 years.
How Does it Compare to Standard Cables?
Let’s compare. A standard PVC cable gets stiff in winter. It cracks if you bend it too much. It has no shield, so motors cause interference. The HELUKABEL Y-CY is different.
- Flexibility: It uses fine copper strands. It bends easily in tight spaces.
- Oil Resistance: The PUR jacket does not swell in oil. Standard PVC gets sticky and weak.
- Shielding: The braid stops EMI/RFI noise. Your sensors read correct data.
- Strength: The tensile strength is high. It won’t snap in a long drag chain run.
This is why top engineers specify this brand. It reduces risk.
Packaging and Shipping Info
We ship worldwide. We are a trading company in Shanghai. We have stock. We can ship by air or sea. The cable is packed in coils or drums. We use plastic and carton to keep it dry. We can cut it to length if you need. We have done this for 10 years. We know how to send cables to the US, UK, and Europe without damage. Customs clearance is easy. We have the certificates ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable halogen-free?Some versions are. If you need LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), ask us. We have different types in the Y-CY family.Can I use it for data?Yes, but it is for control, not high-speed Ethernet. It is good for sensors and I/O.What is the price?It depends on the length and current exchange rate. German raw material prices change. But we give the best price for bulk orders.How fast can you ship?If we have stock in Shanghai, we ship in 3 days. If from Germany, it takes 4 weeks. But we keep popular sizes in China.
