Single-cable solutions in drive technology

Hybrid technology has been a hot topic for several years. Machine designers would obviously like to reduce the number of cables that carries both energy to the motor and movement data, such as direction of rotation, speed and acceleration. Ideally designers would like one cable...
In addition to saving installation space on the cable and connector, the customer could potentially also eliminates the cost of processing a second cable and of the additional material.

We have taken all these advantages into consideration when designing and producing the CF220.UL.H (PVC jacket) and CF280.UL.H (PUR jacket) cable series. Here, the electrical wire/cross-section combination is constantly being expanded to be fully compatible with drives from various manufacturers, such as Beckhoff, SEW, and Siemens. We use the digit after the letter "H" in the part number to mark this affiliation to the manufacturer's requirement. The advantage for our customers is that, if the article number is identical from the "H" onwards, they can choose freely between PVC and PUR jackets without putting themselves at electrical risk. This can result in great savings.
