In the industries, engineers can apply data cables, coaxial cables, and instrumentation cables for control networking, low and moderate voltage power transmission, and power distribution. Flexible cable manufacturers bring a complete range of power cables for power distribution in the industry. While there are most cables having capacity to distribute power to motors are designed for low-voltage operation, these cables are rated for 2000V and below.
Manufacturing units make these cables available in both single and multi-conductor designs. Power cables intended with these designs are able to withstand high mechanical loads, accelerations and speed. Common applications that involve usage of these power cables are-
- Cranes
- Conveyors
- Machine tools
- Heavy duty stationary equipment
- Portable designs
Power cables with single and multi-conductor designs are intended to supply temporary alternating current or direct current power to generators and motors; and can be operated indoor and at outdoor area, as per their temperature rating.
Power cable for an application is specifically made as per the environment standards. For example, people only use an unprotected cable when they are operating in an enclosed space which is only accessible by professionals. Such types of enclosures prevent electromagnetic interference and the unit area protected against live electrical charges.
Flexible power cable manufacturers usually produce low-voltage cables using copper or alumunium conductors, jacketing, and insulation. Conductors can be of various types from fine stranded bare copper wires to bunched strands. You can get in both shielded and unshielded versions of copper wire from manufacturing unit. Such wires and Submersible Flat Cables are usually fire retardant and having oil resistance property.
Flexible power cables are made to cope with physical stress and tight bending radii with motion control applications. Being super flexible in nature, these wires are intended with unique characteristics that make them stand out among standard designs.
Manufacturers of power cables are making two types of flexible cables – with conductors stranded in layers and with braided conductors. Cable with stranded conductors is easy to made and thus, their cost is not high. Cable with braided conductors eliminates multi-layers that ensures uniform bend radius throughout each conductor.
Fundamental Parameters To Help Make Right Cable Selection
- Determine the application type
- Cable type requirement – stationary or moving
- Type of motion involved- flexing or torsion
Flexible cable manufacturers can customize their product ranges as per the client needs. You just need to find one of the best manufacturers in your local and share what you actually want from them.
