FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

Why must incremental and absolute servo encoders use twisted-pair S 369 C TP when routed alongside VFD motor cables?
Inside a drag chain, PWM servo motor cables generate steep dV/dt magnetic and capacitive fields; twisting each differential signal pair (A/Ā, B/B̄, Z/Z̄, Clock/Data) ensures equal noise induction on both conductors so the differential receiver cancels common-mode interference. Each production reel undergoes sweep-frequency impedance and return-loss verification, dielectric spark testing, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 test certificate.
How does S 369 C TP prevent 'corkscrewing' inside fast-moving energy chains?
Ordinary twisted-pair cables use soft PVC and long lay lengths that untwist and buckle after ~100,000 cycles; S 369 C TP uses high-modulus TPE/PP core insulation, staggered short pair pitches, a tension-neutral centre filler, and a low-friction fleece separator under the braid. Each production reel undergoes sweep-frequency impedance and return-loss verification, dielectric spark testing, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 test certificate.
Can S 369 C TP be used for RS-485 and RS-422 communication in drag chains?
Yes, its ~100 Ω differential pair impedance and ~65 pF/m mutual capacitance provide clean eye diagrams for RS-422, RS-485, Profibus-DP/FMS drops, and SSI/EnDat/BiSS encoder buses. Each production reel undergoes sweep-frequency impedance and return-loss verification, dielectric spark testing, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 test certificate.
Is a green RAL 6018 encoder jacket option available?
Yes, in addition to standard grey (RAL 7001) and black (RAL 9005), S 369 C TP can be supplied in DESINA green (RAL 6018) for immediate visual identification of feedback encoder lines. Each production reel undergoes sweep-frequency impedance and return-loss verification, dielectric spark testing, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 test certificate.
