Stop Cable Failures in Your Moving Equipment
Do you face constant downtime because of broken cables? In your factory, cables move millions of times. They bend, twist, and rub against metal tracks. Standard cables crack open. Oil leaks inside. Signals stop. Machines shut down. This costs you money and time. You need a cable that does not just survive. It needs to thrive in harsh conditions. Our 5-core 0.3/0.34mm² polyurethane (PUR) drag chain cable is the solution. It is built for the toughest jobs. It resists oil, abrasion, and constant bending. It keeps your automation running smooth.
Why This PUR Cable is Different
This is not a standard PVC cable. PVC gets stiff in cold weather. It cracks when bent often. Our cable uses high-quality imported Polyurethane (PUR) for the outer sheath. PUR is a special material. It is tough like rubber but strong like plastic. It has a “memory.” When you bend it, it returns to shape. It does not get permanent damage.The core of the cable is pure copper. We use VDE 0295 Class 6 fine-stranded copper wire. This means the wire is made of many tiny threads. It is super flexible. It does not snap when you bend it 5 million times. The insulation is a special TPEE mix. It holds the copper tight. Even when the cable drags on the floor, the copper stays safe.
Technical Specifications You Can Trust
We make our cables to strict standards. Here are the real numbers for the 5-core 0.3/0.34mm² cable:
Conductor and Core Details
- Conductor Material: Bare copper, fine-stranded (VDE 0295 / IEC 60228 Class 6).
- Stranding: Many thin wires twisted together for max flexibility.
- Core Count: 5 Cores (can be used for power, signal, or mixed).
- Cross Section: 0.3 mm² / 0.34 mm² (Approx. AWG 22).
- Core Identification: Black cores with white numbers. Includes a Green/Yellow ground wire.
- Insulation: Special high-strength elastic material (TPEE or PVC mix).
Cable Structure and Shielding
- Laying Up: Cores twisted in short pitch. This reduces twist stress.
- Inner Filling: Non-woven fabric or special filler. It keeps the cable round and smooth.
- Shielding: Tinned copper braid. Coverage is over 85%. This stops electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Inner Sheath (Optional): Special PUR or PVC mix for extra protection.
Outer Sheath (PUR) Performance
- Material: Imported Polyurethane (PUR).
- Color: Black (RAL 9005) or Gray (RAL 7001). Custom colors available.
- Hardness: High Shore A hardness for abrasion resistance.
- Oil Resistance: Fully resistant to oils, greases, and hydraulic fluids.
- Chemical Resistance: Resists acids, alkalis, and solvents.
- Water Resistance: Resists hydrolysis and moisture.
- UV Resistance: Good resistance to sunlight (for outdoor use).
Electrical and Mechanical Data
- Rated Voltage: 300/500V (Uo/U).
- Test Voltage: 2000V to 2500V.
- Insulation Resistance: > 20 MΩ·km at 20°C.
- Bending Radius (Moving): 7.5 times cable outer diameter (D).
- Bending Radius (Fixed): 4 times cable outer diameter (D).
- Temperature Range (Moving): -30°C to +90°C. (Can be customized to -60°C or +150°C).
- Temperature Range (Fixed): -40°C to +90°C.
- Bending Life: Over 5 to 10 million cycles.
- Max Speed: Up to 10 m/s (for short distances).
Where to Use This Cable
This cable fits many hard environments. You can use it in:
Industrial Robotics and Automation
Robot arms move fast. They need lightweight cables. This 5-core cable is perfect for robot joints. It handles the twisting motion. It works in welding robots and assembly lines.
CNC Machines and Machine Tools
Machine tools have moving parts. Coolant and oil are everywhere. This cable resists the oil. It stays flexible inside the drag chain. It connects motors and sensors reliably.
Material Handling and Logistics
Conveyor belts and automated storage systems run 24/7. Cables get dragged and rubbed. The PUR sheath protects against floor abrasion. It is great for high-bay warehouses and sorting systems.
Heavy Machinery and Ports
Cranes, hoists, and container handlers face tough weather. Rain, salt, and dust are problems. This cable is water-resistant and tough. It works well in port machinery and mining equipment.
Food and Medical (Specific Grades)
We can make special versions for food or medical use. These grades are non-toxic and easy to clean.
Installation Tips for Long Life
To get 10 million bends, you must install it right. Follow these simple rules:
- No Twisting: Do not spin the cable off the reel. Pull it straight from the side.
- Leave Slack: The cable needs space. Do not pull it tight. Let it hang loose in the chain.
- Use Separators: Use glide bars in the drag chain. This stops cables from rubbing each other.
- Check Radius: Do not bend it sharper than 7.5 times its size.
- Avoid Force: Do not let the cable get pinched or crushed by heavy objects.
