Halogen-Free Encoder/Resolver Cable for Drag Chain – High-Precision Signal Transmission Solution for Industrial Motion Systems

Designed specifically for dynamic drag chain applications in industrial automation, our Halogen-Free Encoder/Resolver Cable delivers exceptional signal integrity, mechanical durability, and environmental safety. Engineered with halogen-free materials, high-flexibility construction, and precision shielding, this cable is optimized to support encoder and resolver devices – critical for motion control, position feedback, and speed sensing in high-movement industrial equipment. It combines reliable performance with eco-friendly compliance, making it the ideal choice for demanding drag chain systems requiring both precision and safety.

Core Features & Technical Advantages

1. Halogen-Free & Environmentally Friendly Design

• Halogen-Free Insulation & Sheath: Constructed with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) or XLPE halogen-free materials, the cable emits no toxic halogen gases, corrosive fumes, or dense smoke in case of fire. Compliant with IEC 60754-2 (halogen content) and IEC 61034 (smoke density) standards, ensuring safety for personnel and equipment in enclosed spaces (e.g., factories, control rooms).

• RoHS & REACH Compliant: Free of harmful substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.), meeting global environmental regulations. Suitable for eco-sensitive industries such as electronics, automotive, and food processing.

2. High Flexibility for Drag Chain Motion

• Long Flex Life: Adopts fine-stranded oxygen-free copper conductors (Class 6/7 stranding) and a flexible stranding structure, supporting up to 10 million bending cycles (tested per IEC 60228/EN 50290) in drag chain systems. Resists fatigue, breakage, and conductor damage even in high-speed reciprocating motion (e.g., robotic arms, linear actuators).

• Tight Bending Radius: Optimized conductor lay length and flexible insulation design enable a minimum bending radius of 4×–6× the cable outer diameter, adapting seamlessly to complex drag chain trajectories in automated production lines and CNC machinery.

3. Precision Shielding for Signal Integrity

• EMC Protection: Equipped with dual shielding (aluminum foil + tinned copper braid, coverage ≥ 90%) to effectively block electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Ensures stable transmission of low-voltage, high-precision encoder/resolver signals (e.g., incremental encoder pulses, resolver sine/cosine signals) in high-interference industrial environments.

• Minimized Signal Loss: High-purity copper conductors and low-capacitance insulation material reduce signal attenuation and crosstalk, guaranteeing accurate position and speed feedback for motion control systems. Supports data transmission rates up to 10 Mbps, compatible with most industrial encoder/resolver protocols.

4. Industrial-Grade Durability & Reliability

• Abrasion & Chemical Resistance: The halogen-free sheath (LSZH/XLPE) offers excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, and resistance to common industrial chemicals (e.g., lubricants, coolants). Withstands friction from drag chain guides and mechanical stress in harsh operating conditions.

• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably in extreme temperatures from -40℃ to +90℃, adapting to low-temperature workshops, high-heat industrial equipment, and outdoor applications.

• Easy Installation & Maintenance: Lightweight, flexible, and flame-retardant (compliant with IEC 60332-1) design simplifies cable routing in drag chains. The smooth sheath surface reduces friction with chain links, extending the service life of both the cable and the drag chain system.
