Chain guide cable 600 V UL/CSA m.FLEX 512-C-PUR 4G1/AWG18 grey, PUR, halogen-free, shielded 21654

Chain guide cables for demanding applications

This specialized chain guide cable, designated HELUKABEL MULTIFLEX 512-C-PUR UL/CSA, is designed to operate in extreme conditions requiring high flexibility, resistance to external factors, and reliability. This cable is used in machines, machine tools, robotics, and other moving industrial installations. Its construction ensures long-lasting and trouble-free operation even with intensive bending.

Construction and properties

The cable is characterized by an advanced construction that combines a number of features ensuring optimal performance. The stranded, flexible copper conductors (class 6) are insulated with special PP, providing good flexibility and abrasion resistance. The conductors are twisted in parallel with an optimal twist pitch to minimize the risk of damage during bending. Additionally, the cable has a protective braid and a copper wire braid screen (approx. 85% coverage) that minimizes electromagnetic interference. The whole is surrounded by a halogen-free outer jacket made of polyurethane (PUR), providing high resistance to oils, chemicals and UV radiation. This makes the cable meet UL/CSA standards and is safe to use.

Applications and benefits

This cable is ideal for applications requiring high reliability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Its shielding makes it perfect for transmitting signals in environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference. The flexible construction allows for repeated bending without loss of conductive properties. Additional advantages include:

• Wide operating temperature range: from -40°C to +80°C (stationary) and from -30°C to +80°C (flexible).
• Radiation resistance: up to 50x10⁶ cJ/kg (up to 50 Mrad).
• High mechanical resistance: to tearing, abrasion and impact.
• Halogen-free jacket: increases fire safety.
• Compliance with standards: UL/CSA and IEC 60332-1-2 / DIN EN 60332-1-2 – confirms safety of use.
• Outer diameter: approximately 10.8 mm facilitates installation in tight spaces.
• Rated voltage: 600 V provides a wide range of applications in industrial installations.
• Conductor cross-section: 1 mm² – suitable for many control and signaling applications.
