Highly Flexible Servo Motor Cables for Drag Chains

Servo cable in a drag chain gets bent thousands of times a day, and ordinary cable will not last long doing it. AP Technology supplies highly flexible servo motor cables made for chain and high flex duty, delivering reliability along with a long service life. They connect drives to motors on gantries, machine tools, handling systems and any axis in constant travel. Bend radius, travel distance and speed all feed into the right choice, so have those figures to hand when you enquire. AP Technology holds over 750 cable types in stock at its London warehouse, with access to thousands more through strategic partnerships. The range takes in servo, encoder, robotic, control, power, bus, instrumentation, electronic and data, audio and video, and fibre optic cable. Partners include Tecnikabel, TKD and Nexans, which gives you a wide choice of constructions and approvals without needing a separate vendor for each. Getting cable right starts with how it will actually be used. Fixed installation, drag chain travel, continuous bending and torsion all ask different things of a conductor, screen and sheath.

Sheath material then comes down to the surroundings, whether that means oil, UV, direct burial or a space where low smoke zero halogen material is preferred. The AP Technology team starts with the application and works back to the construction. If you are looking to reduce vendors, AP Technology's cross referral service can review existing part numbers or a full bill of materials and recommend suitable alternatives from its line card. Data sheets, samples and costs follow, so a switch can be judged on real information. Partner brands include Intercontec, Bimed, Tecnikabel, TKD, ILME and Hugro.
