Chain guide cable 600 V UL/CSA m.FLEX 512-C-PUR 12G1/AWG18 grey, PUR, halogen-free, shielded 21657

Cable guide for demanding applications

This specialized cable guide, catalog number 21657, is designed to operate in extreme conditions, offering reliability and durability in industrial applications. The cable meets UL/CSA standards and is characterized by high flexibility, resistance to external factors, and shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference. It is an ideal solution for both installers and end-users looking for a high-quality cable for chain systems.

Construction and properties

The m.FLEX 512-C-PUR cable has a construction that ensures long-term and trouble-free operation. Made of high-quality materials, such as polyurethane (PUR) as the outer jacket and special PP as the core insulation, it guarantees resistance to abrasion, oils, UV radiation, and aggressive chemicals. The copper wire shielding provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference (EMC), which is crucial in modern automation systems. Additionally, the cable is halogen-free, which increases safety in the event of a fire.

• Mechanical strength: Twisted strand construction class 6 provides exceptional flexibility and resistance to repeated bending, which is essential in chain applications.
• Chemical resistance: PUR jacket and PP insulation guarantee resistance to oils, greases, acids and alkalis, allowing the cable to be used in harsh industrial conditions.
• Safety: Halogen-free jacket reduces the emission of toxic gases in the event of a fire, increasing the safety of people and property.
• Shielding: Copper braid minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable signal transmission.
• Wide temperature range: The cable retains its properties over a wide temperature range – from -40°C to +80°C (stationary) and from -30°C to +80°C during installation.

Applications and parameters

This cable is primarily used in machines and equipment exposed to intense movements and bending – industrial robots, CNC machining centers, or material transport systems. Thanks to the shielding, it is particularly recommended for transmitting control signals in environments with a high level of electromagnetic interference. The cable has 12 cores with a cross-section of 1 mm², which allows for the transmission of an appropriate amount of control signals. The outer diameter of the cable is approximately 16 mm. The rated voltage is 600V and the core identification is done by numbers.
