Flexible Conductor Aluminum Lugs

Name: Flexible Conductor Aluminum Lugs | High-Flex Aluminum Lugs | Multi-Strand Conductor Lugs - Frigate
Price: 249.00 USD
Availability: InStock

Repeated bending and vibration cause standard lugs to fail at the crimp point – resulting in broken strands, hot spots, and unplanned downtime in critical systems. Our Flexible Conductor Aluminum Schieber solve this with an engineered design that moves with your application, maintaining reliable conductivity through 1000+ flex cycles.

Material Composition

Annealed aluminum 1350-O (99.5% purity) with nickel-plated contact surfaces (5-8µm)

Conductor Size Range

16 mm² to 630 mm² (AWG 6 to 1250 kcmil)

Current Carrying Capacity

75 A to 1600 A (flex-cycle derated)

Dimensions

Barrel OD: 10-75 mm; Tongue thickness: 3-15 mm; Bolt holes: M6-M30

Weight

30 g to 1.8 kg (40% lighter than rigid counterparts)

Product Description

Unlike rigid lugs, our annealed aluminum 1350-O construction provides 30% better flex life while the nickel-tin hybrid plating resists abrasion and oxidation. The result? A maintenance-free connection that withstands the toughest dynamic applications without performance degradation.

Barrel Length

30-100 mm (extra-long for multi-strand capture)

Termination Type

Serrated barrel interior with flared entry for strand guidance

Crimping Compatibility

Notched-die crimping (ISO 14371 compliant) or hexagonal compression

Operating Temperature Range

-50°C to +90°C (continuous), +110°C (peak)

Surface Finish

Nickel exterior with tin-plated bolt contact area

Voltage Rating

Up to 1 kV (flex-cycle tested per IEC 61238-1 Class C)

Tensile Strength

120 MPa (annealed for 30% better flex life)

Environmental Resistance

1000+ flex cycles (20mm bend radius) with ≤10% resistance change

Standards Compliance

IEC 61238-1 Class C, EN 50182, UL 486B (plated versions)

Installation Method

Step-crimping with strand combing for optimal alignment

Conductor Compatibility

Class 5/6 flexible aluminum conductors, including EN 60228 Cat 6

Technical Advantages

Traditional lugs crack under repeated stress, but our serrated barrel interior distributes bending forces evenly across all strands. The annealed aluminum achieves 120MPa tensile strength while maintaining exceptional ductility – verified by metallurgical testing to 50,000+ flex cycles.

Independent labs confirm ≤10% resistance change after dynamic testing (IEC 61238-1 Class C). The nickel-tin plating combination reduces wear at contact points by 60% compared to standard tin finishes.

Industry Applications

Robotic Automation Arms

Handles continuous multi-axis movement in assembly robots, withstanding 50+ bends per hour without strand fatigue.

Offshore Wind Turbines

Survives nacelle movement and tower sway with 1000+ salt spray-rated flex cycles for 20+ year service life.

Mining Shovel Cables

Endures 10G vibration and daily re-positioning while maintaining 1600A capacity in 630mm² power feeds.

EV Charging Cable Management

Supports 10,000+ docking cycles in automatic cable reel systems without increased resistance.

Ship-to-Shore Power Reels

Flared barrel design prevents strand buckling during constant coiling/uncoiling of 400mm² shore power cables.

Solar Tracker Systems

Maintains conductivity through 200° daily panel rotations, with UV-resistant nickel plating.

Dynamic Connections for Moving Power Systems

The flared entry guides strands effortlessly during crimping, reducing installation time by 40% versus conventional flexible lugs. Color-coded die charts ensure proper compression force (20-80kN) for each conductor size.

Procurement teams benefit from pre-approved kits containing strand-combing tools, torque-limited hardware, and flex-cycle RFID tags. All lugs ship with EN 50182 compliance documentation for European energy projects.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does your flexible lug design prevent strand breakage in high-vibration environments?

The annealed aluminum barrel and serrated interior distribute bending stress evenly across all strands, eliminating localized fatigue points. Testing shows 60% fewer broken strands after 50,000 vibration cycles compared to standard lugs, meeting IEC 60068-2-6 requirements. Additionally, the flared entry design prevents sharp bending at the crimp edge, further enhancing longevity.

What cost savings can we expect versus copper flexible lugs?

Our solution reduces material costs by 40% while matching copper’s current capacity in dynamic applications. With 3x longer flex life (1000+ cycles), replacement frequency drops significantly across the system lifespan. Labor costs also decrease as the lighter weight enables 25% faster installation in overhead applications.

How do you verify performance for Arctic conditions (-50°C)?

Charpy impact tests at -50°C confirm no brittle fracture occurs, complying with ISO 148-1 standards. Cold bend tests demonstrate maintained flexibility at 20mm radius, ensuring reliable operation in extreme environments. The nickel plating also withstands 500 thermal shock cycles between -50°C and +90°C without cracking.

Can these lugs integrate with predictive maintenance systems?

Optional RFID tags record and transmit real-time flex cycles and temperature data via Bluetooth. These rugged tags withstand 10G vibration and IP68 conditions while delivering 5 years of continuous monitoring. Integration with most CMMS platforms is seamless through standardized API protocols.

What documentation supports aerospace/defense applications?

Full EN 9100 certified documentation includes material certs to EN 573-3 and cryogenic test reports per MIL-STD-810H. We provide 100% X-ray inspection records to verify zero porosity in critical areas. For security, DNA-marked plating prevents counterfeiting in regulated supply chains.
