Type Spreader-Flex SYSLTOE-J/-O Feeder Cable Suitable for Operation in Cold Environment Based on DIN VDE 0250 Standard

When operating in extreme environments, particularly in cold temperatures, having the right cable is essential. The Type Spreader-Flex SYSLTOE-J/-O Feeder Cable is designed specifically for high-stress applications, ensuring durability and flexibility under the most demanding conditions.

If you’re looking for a solution that can handle load-lifting equipment, basket operations, or cold-weather conditions, this cable has been crafted to meet those needs.

What sets this cable apart is its flexible tensile design, built to handle extreme mechanical stress while maintaining reliable performance. Let’s take a closer look at why this particular cable stands out and what it means for your operation.

Flexible Tensile Design: Built for Tough Environments

The Type Spreader-Flex SYSLTOE-J/-O Feeder Cable is made for applications involving heavy machinery and basket operations, especially in cold environments. Flexibility and tensile strength are key when working in such conditions, where the cable must be able to withstand repeated motion, twisting, and pulling.

The flexible tensile design ensures that the cable maintains its integrity while handling the demanding load-lifting tasks of spreader machines, cranes, or other high-stress operations. With the added support elements like Aramide threads, the cable can bear heavy loads without compromising safety, even when operating vertically for extended periods.

Breaking Down the Model: What SYSLTOE-J/-O Really Means

The Type Spreader-Flex SYSLTOE-J/-O model designation isn’t just a series of random letters; it tells you a lot about the cable’s purpose and capabilities.

SYSLTOE: The "S" refers to the cable's flexibility and suitability for spreader operations. "YS" often denotes special insulation materials capable of handling low temperatures, while "LTOE" indicates specific reinforcement designed to withstand tensile stress and optimize electrical performance.

J/-O: "J" means the cable comes with a protective earth conductor, ensuring it can safely handle grounding operations. "O" means the cable does not include the protective earth but is equally designed to carry out safe and efficient tasks in operations that may not need grounding.

This designation reflects a cable engineered to meet the demands of basket operation, where heavy loads and constant tension are routine. It’s designed to operate in temperatures as low as -40°C, making it ideal for use in cold storage, winter environments, or outdoor locations where temperature control is critical.

Comparison: Spreader Cable vs. Hoist Cable

It’s important to understand the difference between hoist cables and drum cables, especially when it comes to application in heavy machinery.

Hoist Cable: These cables are typically designed for vertical lifting operations and need to handle tensile loads directly. They are installed in a manner that supports vertical movement and can bear heavy loads, often found in cranes, elevators, or similar equipment. The SYSLTOE-J/-O Feeder Cable fits perfectly into this category, given its enhanced tensile properties and reinforced central support elements like Aramide threads.

Drum Cable: In contrast, drum cables are designed for coiling and uncoiling around a reel, which means they need to be highly flexible and resistant to abrasion. These cables experience constant twisting and tension as they wrap around a rotating drum, which is common in mining or construction machinery.

Understanding these differences helps to ensure that your operation uses the correct cable for the right job. The Type Spreader-Flex is designed to handle basket operations where high mechanical stress is expected, and it excels in environments where cold weather adds an additional layer of complexity.

Key Design Features of Type Spreader-Flex SYSLTOE-J/-O

Conductor: This cable uses bare electrolytic copper, known for its excellent conductivity and extreme fine stranding (class FS). This ensures the cable remains highly flexible without compromising its ability to conduct electricity effectively.

Insulation: The insulation is made from a special thermoplastic compound, specifically selected to maintain performance at temperatures as low as -40°C. This makes it ideal for cold environments, as the insulation won’t crack or degrade under harsh conditions.

Core Identification: With light-colored insulation and printed black numbers, the cores are easy to identify during installation and maintenance. A green/yellow protective earth conductor is included for enhanced safety in grounded operations.

Screening: The cable features a braid screen made of tinned copper wires to optimize transfer impedance at 30 MHz, making it suitable for high-frequency applications. Shielding is important to prevent interference and ensure smooth data transmission, especially in equipment that requires precise control.

Support Element: The central support element, made from Aramide threads woven around lead ball cords, ensures that the cable can support heavy loads. The design ensures a safety factor of 5 when suspended vertically for up to 50 meters.

Outer Sheath: The outer sheath is crafted from a special PUR compound, giving it superior resistance to ozone, UV, and moisture. This is crucial for outdoor operations, where exposure to the elements can degrade lower-quality materials.

Weather Resistance: With resistance to ozone, UV, and moisture, this cable is ideal for outdoor applications and can be used without restriction in a variety of weather conditions.

Installation Notes and Considerations

When installing the Type Spreader-Flex SYSLTOE-J/-O cable, it’s important to follow certain best practices:

Cable Laying: The cable must be laid into the basket in a counter-clockwise direction to prevent unnecessary twisting and wear. Detailed installation instructions are available upon request.

Bending Radius: The bending radius must comply with DIN VDE 0298 part 3, ensuring the cable is not damaged during installation or operation.

Travel Speed: This cable is suited for hoists with speeds of up to 160 m/min, making it ideal for fast-paced operations.

Basket Design: The diameter and height of the basket should be carefully considered to avoid stressing the cable. The recommended basket diameter is at least 30xD, while the height should be approx. 45xD, where "D" is the cable diameter.

Machines and Applications

This cable is well-suited for use in the following types of machinery:

Spreader equipment: Handles heavy loads in environments with significant mechanical stress.

Hoists and cranes: Perfect for vertical lifting operations.

Basket operation: Its flexible design is ideal for basket applications that involve high loads and cold weather.

Precautions for Safe Use

To ensure optimal performance and longevity, consider the following:

Avoid excessive bending beyond the recommended radius, as this can cause damage to the internal structure of the cable.

Follow installation guidelines to ensure the cable is properly aligned in the basket to prevent twisting and reduce wear over time.

Check for weather conditions, especially when used outdoors, to ensure the cable operates within the specified temperature ranges.
