Festoon & line chain
Primary duty: EMI-protected crane control, encoder, load-cell and bus festoon loops up to 240 m/min.
Product
Screened 0.6/1 kV round rubber crane festoon cable ((N)GRDGÖU-O(C) / RONDOFLEX) with individually copper-braided control cores, shielded twisted pairs or hybrid unscreened/screened control bundles inside a GM1b EPR inner sheath and 5GM3 PCP jacket.
Typical values for this cable type, based on DIN VDE 0250-814 — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
(N)GRDGÖU-O(C) shields individual control cores or twisted pairs with tinned copper wire braids inside a dual-sheathed EPR/PCP round festoon construction, preventing crosstalk and external VFD switching interference.
Primary duty: EMI-protected crane control, encoder, load-cell and bus festoon loops up to 240 m/min.
Suitable for crane trolley and gantry energy chains at ≥ 5 × D bending radius.
Use (N)GRDGCGÖU for overall-braided power chainsApproved for low-stress horizontal reeling; hybrid 19×2.5+5×1(C) and 25×2.5+5×1(C) are also built in NSHTÖU reeling versions.
Use NSHTÖU for heavy motorized reelingNot rated for vertical spreader reeling with high torsional twist.
Use 3GSLTÖ for vertical spreader basketsConstruction
Shown: (N)GRDGÖU-O 12×1(C) — finely stranded copper cores with 3GI3 EPR insulation, individual tinned copper braid screens, GM1b EPR inner sheath and black 5GM3 polychloroprene outer sheath.
