Oil Resistant Cables for Machine Tool Applications

Coolant and cutting oils can quickly attack the wrong cable sheath, leaving it swollen, cracked and unreliable. AP Technology supplies oil resistant cables for machine tools, with a range of control, servo and sensor constructions suited to this kind of work. Machine tool builders and maintenance departments use them on axes, spindles and auxiliaries. Share the type of coolant or oil being used if you can, as fluid chemistry can make a difference when it comes to selecting the sheath. Dynamic control and automation cable is designed for instrumentation, power and control duties where the cable has to flex and move throughout its operation. The range includes a variety of conductor sizes, screening and jacketing options, and most styles are offered with UL and CSA approvals. Available manufacturing approvals through partners include UL and CSA, VDE, Desina and Lloyd's Register, depending on the cable selected. 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. 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.
