Crane Flat Cable

Crane Flat Cable

Overview of Lifting Machine Flat Cables

Application Scenarios

Lifting machine flat cables are specifically designed for use in heavy-duty industrial environments, particularly in cranes, hoists, and other lifting equipment. These cables are subjected to extreme mechanical stress, environmental challenges, and dynamic movements during operation. Key application scenarios include:

Mobile Operations: Used in overhead cranes, gantry cranes, and jib cranes where the cable must flex continuously while carrying high power loads.

Harsh Environments: Exposed to dust, moisture, chemicals, oil, and temperature fluctuations (e.g., outdoor construction sites or cold storage facilities).

High-Voltage Transmission: Powers motors, control systems, and sensors in lifting machinery.

Key Characteristics

Mechanical Durability

Flexibility: Flat design reduces bending stress, allowing tight routing around pulleys and rollers.

Tensile Strength: Reinforced with steel wires or aramid fibers to withstand repeated pulling and torsional forces.

Impact Resistance: Protected against physical damage from debris or accidental impacts.

Environmental Resistance

Weatherproofing: Jacket materials (e.g., polyvinyl chloride PVC, polyethylene PE, or thermoplastic elastomer TPE) resist UV radiation, rain, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +90°C).

Chemical Resistance: Cross-linked polymers guard against oils, fuels, and solvents commonly found in industrial settings.

Electrical Performance

High Conductivity: Copper or aluminum conductors ensure minimal energy loss and efficient power transmission.

Voltage Rating: Typically rated for 600V to 3300V to support heavy machinery.

EMI Shielding: Optional conductive layers prevent electromagnetic interference in sensitive control circuits.

Compliance with Standards

Adheres to international standards such as IEC 60502 (power cables), ISO 4309 (flexible control cables), and UL 3135 (for flame resistance).

Customization Options

Available in various colors, conductor configurations (stranded or solid), and jacket thicknesses to meet specific project requirements.
