Sensor/actuator cable UNITRONIC® SENSOR FD Lif9Y11Y 4X0.34, PUR 7038865

Sensor/actuator cable – reliability in automation and dynamic applications

This highly flexible UNITRONIC® SENSOR FD cable is designed for use in moving machine parts, chain guides and in harsh industrial environments. This cable combines durability, chemical and mechanical resistance, making it an ideal solution for both installers and end users. This is particularly important in applications where the cable is exposed to continuous bending and stress.

Construction and application

The UNITRONIC® SENSOR FD cable is characterized by a construction that provides exceptional flexibility even with frequent bending. Made of fine copper strands, insulated with polypropylene (PP) and surrounded by a durable polyurethane (PUR) jacket, it guarantees long-lasting and reliable operation. The PUR jacket provides resistance to abrasion, tearing and the action of mineral oils and many chemicals. This makes the cable perfectly suited for industrial environments where harsh conditions prevail.

The cable is intended for connecting sensors and actuators in automation systems, machines and industrial equipment. It can be used in both fixed and moving installations, as well as inside chain guides. It is suitable for outdoor use, taking into account the operating temperature range.

Key features and benefits

• Exceptional flexibility: The construction with fine copper strands provides high cable flexibility, making it easy to lay even in tight spaces and dynamic applications.
• Durable PUR jacket: Provides resistance to abrasion, tearing, mineral oils and many chemicals – crucial for working in harsh industrial conditions.
• UV resistance: Allows the cable to be used outdoors without fear of degradation caused by sunlight.
• Halogen-free: Increases safety by limiting the emission of toxic gases in the event of a fire. Complies with VDE 0472-815 standard.
• Wide operating temperature range: Allows the cable to be operated in various temperature conditions – from -25°C to +80°C with occasional bending and from -40°C to +80°C with fixed installation.
• Application in chain guides: Designed for use in chain guide systems, where it is exposed to continuous bending and mechanical stress – confirmed by tests on 4 million bending cycles with a displacement of up to 10 meters.
• Compliance with standards: Meets UL AWM Style 20549 standard and has IEC 60332-2-2 (flame retardant) and UL 1581 FT-2 (flame retardant) certificates.
• Compact dimensions: Facilitate the integration of the cable with various devices and automation systems.

The UNITRONIC® SENSOR FD cable is an investment in a reliable and durable solution for demanding industrial applications. Its construction and properties ensure long-term operation without downtime, which translates into cost savings and increased production efficiency.
