FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

Why does PVC Shielded Drag Chain Control Cable include an extruded inner PVC sheath under the copper braid?
Static CY control cables apply a thin polyester tape directly under the copper braid, which quickly cuts into core insulation when flexed in a drag chain. Our drag-chain CY construction extrudes a continuous, pressure-filled inner PVC bedding over the core bundle so the tinned copper braid rides on a smooth cylindrical cushion without abrading the cores.
How is the tinned copper braid engineered to prevent wire breakage during millions of bending cycles?
Standard braids use a steep braid angle optimised only for static pulling. For energy-chain service, the tinned copper wires are woven at a precisely calibrated flat pitch angle over a sliding fleece layer, allowing the braid geometry to expand and contract elastically around 7.5 × OD bends while keeping optical coverage above 85 %.
Can this shielded PVC control cable be installed alongside servo power cables in the same energy chain?
Yes, the ≥ 85 % tinned copper braid suppresses capacitive and inductive coupling from adjacent PWM motor cables. For best EMC performance inside the carrier, separate control and power cables with a vertical divider bar and bond the copper braid across 360° at both ends using metallic EMC glands.
When should I upgrade from PVC Shielded Drag Chain Cable to a PUR-sheathed screened drag-chain cable?
Upgrade to our screened PUR drag-chain cable (such as S 368 C or SABclean SD 780 C) when the cable carrier operates in sub-zero cold stores below −5 °C, requires halogen-free LSZH fire safety, or faces direct spray from synthetic ester metalworking coolants and cutting oils.
