Energy chain / drag chain
Torsion-free helical pair screens and overall tinned copper braid withstand ≥ 8 million drag-chain cycles at 7.5 × OD.
Product
Precision analogue resolver feedback cable with individually copper-screened twisted pairs — e.g. 3×(2×0.14)C + (2×0.5)C — for carrier excitation (Ref+/Ref−), Sin/Cos quadrature outputs and stator PTC/KTY84 thermal sensing in high-acceleration drag chains.
Typical values for this cable type, based on DIN VDE 0812 / UL AWM Style 20236 — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Built for brushless rotary resolvers and stator temperature sensors on servo motors operating in high-vibration, high-EMI machine-tool energy chains.
Torsion-free helical pair screens and overall tinned copper braid withstand ≥ 8 million drag-chain cycles at 7.5 × OD.
Direct installation from servo drive cabinet to machine bulkhead with 360° EMC shield clamping.
Suitable for C-rail loop festoons on metallurgical, press and crane drives using rugged resolver feedback.
Analogue resolver & thermistor signal cable only; use Shielded Servo Motor Power Cable for 0.6/1 kV motor power.
