Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y Cable

For energy and control needs in festoon systems, Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y cable is designed to withstand severe conditions.

Whether it’s frequent bending in festoon systems, operation on drag lines, machine tools, or materials handling systems, this cable is built to perform reliably under mechanical stress. It also works effectively as a drum reeling cable when used under moderate stress.

This introduction explores the key features, technical specifications, and real-world applications of the cable, highlighting its benefits and relevance to industries requiring robust and flexible power solutions.

High-Flexibility Design for Harsh Conditions

When working with festoon systems, flexibility and durability are essential. The Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y cable is specifically designed with these attributes in mind.

It can handle high mechanical stress and frequent bending, which are common in mobile and dynamic applications such as crane systems, material handling, and other industrial environments.

The PUR sheath provides additional protection against wear and tear, ensuring the cable lasts longer in tough conditions. This high-flex design reduces the likelihood of failure, helping businesses avoid costly downtime.

Breaking Down the Cable Model: Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y

Understanding the cable’s model designation is crucial for selecting the right product. Let’s break down what Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y means:

Festoon-flex: This part of the model name indicates that the cable is designed for festoon systems, which are systems where cables are suspended and travel along tracks, such as in gantry cranes or rack material handling equipment.

These systems require cables that can bend and move frequently without losing integrity.

PUR-HF: The PUR stands for polyurethane, the material used for the outer sheath of the cable. Polyurethane is known for its toughness, abrasion resistance, and flexibility.

HF indicates that the sheath is halogen-free, meaning it doesn’t release toxic fumes in the event of a fire, making it safer for use in enclosed or sensitive environments.

D12Y11Y: This refers to the specific design characteristics of the cable, including the arrangement of conductors, core identification, and other parameters.

Each letter and number represents key features that ensure high performance in demanding conditions.

Design Features and Specifications

The Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y cable’s superior performance lies in its high-quality materials and construction. Here’s a detailed look at the cable’s design features:

Conductor:

Made from plain copper with flexible class 5 in accordance with DIN EN 60228 and DIN VDE 0295, the conductor ensures efficient and reliable electrical transmission while allowing for high flexibility.

Insulation:

The cable is insulated with a halogen-free compound based on polyester, which provides excellent electrical insulation and reduces the risk of fire hazards.

Core Identification:

For cables with up to 5 cores, the cores are coloured in line with DIN VDE 0293-308 standards, allowing for easy identification. For cables with 6 or more cores, the identification system uses black numbers on a white background.

Outer Sheath:

The outer sheath is made from polyurethane (PUR), which is halogen-free, flame-retardant, and offers excellent resistance to abrasion and chemicals. The colour of the sheath is opaque black, giving the cable a sleek and professional appearance.

Electrical Performance

The Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y cable meets the highest electrical standards for industrial applications:

Rated Voltage: 0.6/1 kV (600/1000V)

Maximum permissible operating voltage AC: 0.7/1.2 kV

Maximum permissible operating voltage DC: 0.9/1.8 kV

AC Test Voltage: Main cores are tested at 2.5 kV for 5 minutes to ensure electrical integrity.

Current Carrying Capacity: Defined according to DIN VDE 0298-4, this ensures that the cable can handle the electrical load without overheating or losing efficiency.

Chemical and Thermal Resistance

Designed to perform in tough environments, the Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y cable provides excellent chemical resistance and thermal performance:

Fire Performance: Similar to IEC 60332-1, the cable is flame-retardant, offering improved safety in high-risk industrial settings.

Water Resistance: The cable is suitable for use in water (non-drinking) at depths of up to 50 meters, making it ideal for environments that require protection against moisture.

Temperature Range:

Mechanical Parameters

The mechanical properties of this cable make it an excellent choice for mobile and dynamic applications:

Max. Tensile Load: 15 N/mm² on the conductor, allowing the cable to handle the stress of frequent movement.

Torsional Stress: +/- 25°/m, making it suitable for applications where cables twist during operation.

Bending Radius: The cable’s flexibility is tested under HD 22.2 part 3.1, with a minimum bending radius of 6x the cable diameter.

Applications in Festoon Systems

Festoon systems are a crucial component in industries where power and control cables need to move frequently, such as in gantry cranes, transportation systems, or machine tools.

These systems ensure that cables are safely suspended and can travel smoothly along a track, enabling the machinery to operate efficiently without cable entanglement or damage.

The Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y cable is specifically engineered for this environment, offering:

High flexibility to withstand constant bending and motion

A robust outer sheath to resist mechanical stress, abrasion, and exposure to harsh chemicals

The ability to perform in extreme temperatures and under moderate reeling conditions.

Crane Festoon Systems: Why Flexibility Matters

Crane festoon systems often face challenges such as high-speed movement, frequent bending, and exposure to chemicals or extreme weather.

The Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y cable is designed to meet these demands, providing a solution that ensures longevity and reduces the likelihood of system downtime.

Its polyurethane sheath and flexible copper conductors make it highly resistant to wear and capable of withstanding frequent bending, ensuring that power supply remains uninterrupted.
