Cables for Motion

Definitions Oil-resistant

The term "oil-resistant" means the chemical resistance of cables that are used in an environment where they are continuously exposed to oil or lubricants. Tests are carried out using approx. 55 oils and lubricants. UV-resistant The UV-resistance describes the resistance of the cable jacket to premature aging of the material due to sunlight. In addition, cables are also weather-resistant.

CFC-free Chlorofluorocarbons

Due to the very detrimental effects of CFCs on the environment, and in particular on the ozone layer, we do not use them either in the manufacture of our products or in the products themselves. Flame-retardant Flame-retardant describes the fire behavior of cables tested according to IEC 60331. Flame retardant is a characteristic of the materials used in the insulation according to which it only catches fire after a delay when it is subjected to an open flame, and extinguishes itself when the flame is removed. Silicone-free The silicones used in cables are a very serious problem when applying paint, because if a surface contains silicone, paints and lacquers will not adhere to it properly. That is why all of our cables are generally silicone-free. RoHS-compliant Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. In particular, the use of lead, mercury and cadmium should be strictly limited. Halogen-free No materials such as chlorine, fluorine, iodine or bromide are used in our cables, because in the event of a fire corrosive gases would form hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, etc., thus greatly extending the scope of damage. Profibus This field bus was developed in Germany in 1989, and today is the most widespread bus of its type worldwide. It is used equally extensively in both production automation and process auto- mation. We make a distinction between two types: Profibus DP (Decentralized Periphery) Sensors and actuators are controlled by a central controller. Data rates of up to 12 Mbit/s are possible. Profibus PA (Process Automation) Is used in process engineering and process technology. The data transfer rate is only 31.25 kbit/s. Interbus Is a field bus developed by the German company Phoenix Contact. The Interbus bus system is widely used in the automotive industry. The standard data transfer rate is 500 kBit/s.
