Cable for chain guides, 1000 V UL shipflex 340 4x2X1/AWG18 grey, halogen-free, shielded 19964

Cable for chain guides – reliability in harsh conditions

This specialized shielded cable, designated HELUKABEL® SHIPFLEX® 340, is designed for operation in demanding industrial environments, particularly in applications with chain guides. This cable is characterized by high flexibility and resistance to external factors, making it an ideal choice for both professional installers and end-users seeking a reliable solution. The cable meets stringent UL Style 20234 standards, guaranteeing safety and performance.

Construction and properties

The cable features a robust construction. It is made of stranded copper conductors (class 6), which provide high flexibility and resistance to material fatigue during dynamic movements. The conductors are insulated with a special material and twisted in pairs, minimizing electromagnetic interference. A screen of tinned copper wires (with the option of an additional aluminum foil) effectively protects against the influence of external electromagnetic fields. The whole is surrounded by a durable polyurethane coating, which provides resistance to abrasion, oils and UV radiation. The gray color (RAL 7001) makes it easy to identify the cable in the installation.

This cable is available in meters, allowing for precise adjustment of the length to the needs of a specific application. Its outer diameter is approximately 11.8 mm with a conductor cross-section of 1 mm². The UL rated voltage is 1000 V, ensuring safe operation in most industrial applications. Additionally, the cable has flame-retardant and halogen-free properties, increasing safety.

Applications and benefits

This cable finds wide application in:

• Marine industry: thanks to its high resistance to weather conditions and salt water.
• Industrial automation: ideal for powering and controlling devices in systems with chain guides.
• Robotics: provides a reliable electrical connection in dynamically operating robots.
• Construction and agricultural machinery: resistant to harsh working conditions and mechanical damage.

By choosing this cable, you gain:

• High reliability: thanks to the solid construction and high-quality materials.
• Resistance to external factors: oils, UV radiation, low temperatures (-40°C).
• Safety: thanks to flame-retardant and halogen-free properties and compliance with UL and CE standards.
• Long service life: thanks to resistance to material fatigue and mechanical damage.
• EMC compatibility: shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference – for optimal performance, it is recommended to use round crimp connectors with copper braiding at both ends of the cable.
