Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y-J Low Voltage Round Cables

Designed for Festoon Applications

Are you looking for high-performance cables that can handle the most demanding industrial environments?

The Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y-J Low Voltage Round Cable is an exceptional choice, specifically crafted for use in festoon systems commonly found in cranes, conveyor systems, and other mobile equipment setups.

This versatile cable features high flexibility and durability, making it perfect for dynamic applications where consistent movement is required. Whether your operation is large-scale material handling or heavy-duty industrial machinery, this cable is built to perform.

Understanding the Cable Designation

Let’s break down the key elements of the Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y-J to give you a clearer picture of its advanced capabilities:

Festoon-flex: This term refers to the cable's flexibility, which makes it ideal for festoon systems where movement and constant flexing are common. These cables ensure long service life and reliability in industrial environments where mechanical stress is frequent.

PUR-HF: The PUR (Polyurethane) sheath provides excellent mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and protection against oils, chemicals, and harsh environmental conditions. HF indicates that the cable is halogen-free, ensuring low smoke emissions and reduced toxicity in case of fire. This makes it safer for use in confined spaces and public environments.

D12Y11Y-J: These letters refer to specific technical specifications. D12 denotes the cable's classification, while Y11Y specifies the material used in the insulation and sheathing. J indicates that the cable contains a green/yellow earth core for grounding, which is crucial for electrical safety in many industrial setups.

This detailed naming structure is designed to give you confidence in the cable’s capabilities, allowing you to choose the right product for your specific needs.

Key Design Features of Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y-J

Conductor:

The cable consists of plain copper, flexible class 5 conductors in compliance with DIN EN 60228 / DIN VDE 0295 standards. This ensures excellent electrical conductivity while maintaining flexibility, which is critical for festoon applications.

Insulation:

The insulation is made from a halogen-free compound based on polyester, ensuring fire safety and reducing environmental impact. This type of insulation not only protects the conductors but also offers significant safety benefits in case of fire, emitting low smoke and toxic gases.

Core Identification:

For cables with up to 5 cores, the cores are colored in accordance with DIN VDE 0293-308. For cables with more than 6 cores, they are white with black numbering, making installation and maintenance easier by allowing clear identification of individual conductors.

Outer Sheath:

The outer sheath is made of black (opaque) polyurethane (PUR). This material is halogen-free, flame retardant, and incredibly durable, providing superior resistance to abrasion, oils, chemicals, and mechanical stress. The robust outer layer ensures that the cable can withstand tough industrial environments.

Electrical Parameters for Optimal Performance

This cable is designed for low voltage applications with a rated voltage of 0.6/1 kV (600/1000V).

It can handle a maximum permissible operating voltage of 0.7/1.2 kV for AC systems and 0.9/1.8 kV for DC systems, ensuring reliable operation in various industrial settings. The AC test voltage for the main cores is 2.5 kV, tested for 5 minutes to guarantee safety and performance.

Performance Against Harsh Environmental Conditions

Fire Resistance:

The cable is manufactured to perform similarly to IEC 60332-1 standards, offering fire protection with flame retardant properties. This is a key consideration for industries where safety is paramount.

Water Resistance:

The Festoon-flex PUR-HF cable is suitable for permanent use in water, withstanding depths of up to 50 meters. Although it’s not designed for drinking water, this feature makes it ideal for operations near bodies of water or damp environments, such as ports or construction sites.

Mechanical & Thermal Parameters

Tensile Strength:

The cable can withstand a maximum tensile load of 15 N/mm² on the conductor, ensuring it can handle the mechanical stress often encountered in moving applications like cranes and conveyor systems.

Torsional Stress:

With a tolerance of +/- 25 °/m, this cable can handle twisting and turning without affecting performance, ensuring durability even in demanding applications.

Bending Radius:

With a minimum bending radius of 6 x D, the cable proves its flexibility. It has passed rigorous flexing tests as per HD 22.2 part 3.1, which means you can rely on it for applications where cables are repeatedly bent or flexed.

Travel Speed:

When used in festoon systems, the cable can operate at speeds up to 210 m/min, ensuring it keeps up with the fast-paced demands of modern industrial applications. For reeling operations, it can manage up to 60 m/min. This adaptability makes it perfect for various setups, whether for cranes or other mobile equipment.

Thermal Performance

The maximum operating temperature for the conductor is 90°C, while the maximum short-circuit temperature reaches 250°C. These ratings provide you with confidence in its safety, even under extreme conditions.

The cable can operate in a wide range of ambient temperatures, from -50°C to +80°C for fixed installations and -40°C to +80°C for flexible operation, making it a versatile solution for various environments, including extreme cold or heat.

Ideal for Festoon Systems

The festoon system is a tried-and-true method for managing cables in mobile equipment, particularly cranes. By using a cable like the Type Festoon-flex PUR-HF D12Y11Y-J, you’re ensuring that your system can handle the rigorous demands of daily operation.

The cable's flexibility, durability, and resistance to mechanical stress make it ideal for high-speed movement without sacrificing performance.
