Alpha Wire introduces flexible servo cables
Alpha Wire
Series SF flexible servo cables
The Series SF flexible servo cables from Alpha Wire are designed for connecting power between the supply and servo motors, drives and controllers.
A flexible thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket and PVC/nylon insulation make the cable suitable for applications that require continuous movement.
A tight bend radius of 10 times the cable's diameter makes for easy installation.
The UL Listed cables meet the requirements of NFPA 79, allowing them to be used in industrial machinery applications such as machine tools, pick and place equipment, Cartesian and articulated motion control, and automated material handling systems.
To meet a range of power requirements, Series SF cables are available over an 18 to 8 AWG (0.96 to 8.5mm2) conductor size range.
The cables are available in both power and composite cable configurations.
The Series SF power cable has four conductors for power and ground.
The series adds two twisted pairs for use in braking control, temperature monitoring, or other control/monitoring uses.
To provide excellent EMI protection in noisy electrical environments, the cables are shielded with a combination foil and tinned copper braid.
Series SF flexible servo cables are rated for 600V and meet the UL requirements for TC-ER and WTTC applications and CSA for AWM I/II A/B.
They are oil and sunlight resistant.
