Actuator Cable Assemblies

Actuator cables must endure extreme temperatures. They are made from high-temperature-resistant materials, like fluoropolymers. These materials handle continuous exposure to temperatures ranging from -40°C to +200°C. This ensures durability, preventing insulation breakdown in harsh conditions. 

Conductor Material

Tinned Copper / Bare Copper / Aluminum

Conductor Stranding

Multi-stranded (Class 5 or 6) for increased flexibility

Voltage Rating

300V, 600V, 1000V (depending on application)

Current Rating

10A to 50A (varies based on conductor size and insulation)

Insulation Material

Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE), PVC, Teflon, Fluoropolymer

Product Description

For accurate motion control, actuator cables must maintain signal integrity. These cables are designed with low capacitance, which ensures clear signal transmission, even at high speeds. Advanced shielding methods, like foil and braided shields, reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), which minimizes signal loss and distortion. 

Insulation Resistance

Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE), PVC, Teflon, Fluoropolymer

Jacket Material

PVC, TPE, Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), Polyurethane (PUR), Fluoropolymer

Jacket Thickness

0.5mm to 2mm (varies based on cable type and application)

Temperature Range

-40°C to +200°C (depending on insulation and jacket material)

Flame Retardancy

UL 94-V0, IEC 60332-1, EN 50305 (depending on material and specification)

Shielding

Foil Shielding, Braid Shielding, Copper or Aluminum Shielding for EMI protection

Connector Type

Circular, Modular, RJ45, MIL-Spec, Custom-molded connectors

Power Rating

5W to 150W (depends on conductor size and insulation material)

Environmental Rating

IP65, IP67, IP68 (for water and dust protection)

Certification

UL, CSA, RoHS, CE, ISO 9001 (based on materials and manufacturing standards)

Technical Advantages

Actuator cables often undergo repeated bending and movement. To handle this, they are made with flexible materials. These materials resist wear, even after millions of bending cycles. The flexible jacket materials, like polyurethane, also protect against abrasion, making them suitable for robotic systems and other dynamic applications. 

EMI can disrupt signal transmission in industrial environments. To address this, actuator cables are equipped with robust shielding. The shielding methods, including foil and braided designs, prevent signal degradation. As a result, the cables meet strict EMC standards, ensuring stable operation in high-interference environments.
