Flexible Control Cable – High-Flex Signal Transmission Solution for Industrial Automation & Dynamic Applications

Engineered for demanding motion scenarios in industrial control systems, our Flexible Control Cable delivers exceptional flexibility, reliable signal integrity, and industrial-grade durability. Designed to withstand continuous bending, mechanical stress, and harsh operating conditions, this cable is optimized for connecting controllers, sensors, actuators, and other critical components in dynamic equipment – making it the ideal choice for automation, robotics, and machinery requiring precise control signal transmission.

Core Features & Technical Advantages

1. Superior Flexibility for Dynamic Motion

• Ultra-High Flex Life: Constructed with fine-stranded oxygen-free copper conductors (Class 6/7 stranding) and a flexible insulation structure, the cable supports up to 10 million bending cycles (tested per IEC 60228/EN 50290). It resists fatigue, breakage, and conductor damage even in high-speed reciprocating motion (e.g., robotic arms, drag chains, linear actuators).

• Tight Bending Radius: Optimized conductor lay length and flexible stranding design enable a minimum bending radius of 4×–6× the cable outer diameter, adapting seamlessly to complex routing in confined spaces, drag chain systems, and dynamic machinery.

• Flexible Yet Robust: Balances exceptional flexibility with mechanical strength, ensuring reliable performance in applications where cables are frequently moved, bent, or routed around tight corners.

2. Stable Control Signal Transmission

• High-Conductivity Conductors: High-purity copper conductors minimize signal attenuation and crosstalk, guaranteeing accurate transmission of low-voltage control signals (e.g., PLC commands, sensor feedback, actuator signals). Suitable for analog and digital control systems, supporting data transmission rates up to 10 Mbps.

• Optional EMC Shielding: Available with aluminum foil + copper braid shielding (coverage ≥ 90%) to effectively block electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Ensures signal integrity in high-interference industrial environments (e.g., near motors, power cables, or heavy machinery).

• Consistent Performance: Precision-engineered insulation and conductor arrangement reduce capacitance and inductance, maintaining stable signal transmission even during continuous motion.

3. Industrial-Grade Durability & Versatility

• Durable Sheathing Options: Available with PVC, PE, or PUR sheathing to meet diverse environmental needs:

• PVC: Cost-effective, wear-resistant, suitable for general industrial indoor applications.

• PE: Excellent chemical resistance, low temperature performance (-40℃), ideal for harsh chemical environments.

• PUR: Superior wear resistance, oil resistance, and hydrolysis resistance, perfect for drag chains, outdoor, or heavy-duty applications.

• Wide Temperature Adaptability: Operates reliably in a temperature range of -40℃ to +90℃ (depending on sheathing material), adapting to low-temperature workshops, high-heat industrial equipment, and outdoor scenarios.

• Mechanical Protection: The outer sheath resists abrasion, impact, and mechanical stress, extending service life in harsh operating conditions (e.g., factories, construction sites, amusement park machinery).

4. Safety & Customization

• Flame-Retardant & Halogen-Free Options: Complies with IEC 60332-1 flame-retardant standards. Halogen-free (LSZH) variants are available, emitting no toxic gases or dense smoke in case of fire – ideal for enclosed spaces (e.g., control rooms, electronic cabinets).

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

• Customizable Specifications:

• Conductor sizes: AWG 28-16 (0.12mm²–1.5mm²)

• Core counts: 2-24 cores (common configurations: 2C, 4C, 6C, 8C)

• Shielding options: Unshielded, single braid, foil + braid

• Sheath colors: Black (standard), gray, blue, or custom colors

• Optional features: Reinforced armor for heavy-duty use, waterproof (IP67) design for wet environments
