Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y Cable: High Flexibility for Demanding Applications

When it comes to energy and control cables for festoon systems, performance under severe conditions is critical. Whether you're dealing with frequent bending, drag lines, machine tools, or material handling systems, the Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y stands out for its robust design and unmatched flexibility.

This is not just another cable—this is a high-performance solution engineered to endure some of the toughest environments imaginable.

This batch of cables is designed with high flexibility in mind, meaning it can handle repetitive movements and extreme mechanical stress without sacrificing durability.

The result? You get a cable that doesn’t just last longer but performs better even under constant motion, such as in festoon systems and similar applications.

Decoding the Cable Model Letters

You might be wondering, what do all these letters mean? Let’s break it down.

Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y Cable

PUR:

This stands for Polyurethane, a durable material that provides the cable’s outer sheath with exceptional abrasion resistance and flexibility. It’s halogen-free, which is a significant advantage for ensuring minimal environmental impact, and it’s flame-retardant, ensuring safety in high-risk environments.

HF:

This indicates that the cable is Halogen-Free, ensuring the absence of toxic chemicals like chlorine, bromine, and fluorine. In case of a fire, the HF feature ensures minimal production of corrosive and toxic gases, making it safer for both workers and machinery.

D12Y11Y:

This code refers to the specific structural and material features of the cable. The number 12 typically indicates the size and type of conductor used, while the letters Y denote the design of the insulation and sheath materials.

Comparison: Type Festoon-flex C-PUR-HF D12YC11Y Cable vs. PUR-HF D12Y11Y Cable

While both these cables are designed for similar applications, there are some key differences.

C-PUR-HF D12YC11Y Cable: This cable comes with an additional copper braid screen, which offers enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The letter C signifies the presence of this screen. This feature makes the C-PUR-HF ideal for environments where minimizing electrical noise is crucial, such as in sensitive industrial or communication systems.

PUR-HF D12Y11Y Cable: This version, on the other hand, lacks the additional screening but makes up for it with a simpler and more cost-effective design. It’s perfect for general industrial use, especially where EMI isn’t a major concern.

Key Design Features

The Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y Cable is packed with features that ensure reliable performance even under the most demanding conditions:

Conductor: Made from plain copper, flexible class 5, in accordance with DIN EN 60228 / DIN VDE 0295 standards. This means the copper strands are flexible yet durable, making them suitable for repetitive bending without breaking.

Insulation: The cable uses a halogen-free compound based on polyester. This not only makes the cable safer in case of fire but also improves its flexibility and resistance to wear and tear.

Core Identification: For ease of installation, up to 5 cores are color-coded in line with DIN VDE 0293-308. For cables with 6 or more cores, they are marked with black numbers on a natural base, simplifying identification during installation.

Outer Sheath: The outer jacket is made from Polyurethane (PUR), which is known for its excellent resistance to mechanical stress, oils, and abrasion. The sheath is also flame-retardant and halogen-free, making it an environmentally friendly and safe choice.

Electrical and Chemical Parameters

These cables are built to handle high voltages and offer reliable electrical performance under harsh conditions.

Rated Voltage: The cable operates at 0.6/1 kV (600/1000V), suitable for most industrial applications.

Max Permissible Operating Voltage: It can handle up to 0.7/1.2 kV AC or 0.9/1.8 kV DC, making it versatile enough for various energy and control applications.

Water Resistance: The cable is designed for permanent use in water, able to withstand up to 50 meters of submersion. This makes it ideal for industries that involve exposure to moisture or water, such as maritime or mining operations.

Thermal and Mechanical Durability

The Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y Cable is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and mechanical stress:

Max Operating Temperature: Up to 90°C under regular operation, and up to 250°C in case of a short circuit.

Ambient Temperature: Whether in fixed installations or fully flexible operation, this cable is designed to operate smoothly in temperatures as low as -50°C and as high as +80°C.

Mechanically, the cable can endure:

Max Tensile Load: Up to 15 N/mm², allowing it to handle significant mechanical stress without compromising on performance.

Bending Radius: The cable's bending radius is min. 6 x D, meaning it can handle frequent and tight bending movements without wearing out. This is a crucial feature in festoon systems and other applications requiring constant motion.

Travel Speed: The cable performs exceptionally well in motion, supporting speeds of up to 210 m/min in festoon systems and chain systems. For reeling operations, it can handle up to 60 m/min, making it highly versatile.
