Type Plano-Flex NGFLGOEU Flexible Flat Power and Control Cable for Festoon Systems

The Type Plano-Flex NGFLGOEU Flexible Flat Power and Control Cable is specifically designed for high-stress environments where frequent bending and mechanical stresses are common.

Whether it's connecting moveable parts of machine tools, material handling equipment, or other industrial applications, this cable ensures reliable performance. It is ideal for festoon systems and dynamic cable applications that experience extreme conditions, and it is well-suited for operations that require bending in one plane only.

What makes this cable stand out is its highly flexible design. Flexibility is crucial for cables that undergo constant movement, especially in industrial settings.

Without it, cables can quickly wear out or break, causing delays and costly repairs. But with Plano-Flex NGFLGOEU, you're investing in a solution that offers durability and efficiency, built to last even in the most demanding applications.

Why Choose the Plano-Flex NGFLGOEU?

The Plano-Flex NGFLGOEU adopts a flat design which helps the cable withstand bending and movement in one direction without tangling or twisting.

This design feature ensures smooth operation, particularly in festoon systems where the cable moves along with equipment like cranes, trolleys, and material handling systems.

Festoon systems, common in industries such as manufacturing, warehousing, and transportation, demand a cable that can perform under constant mechanical stress. The flat, highly flexible nature of this cable makes it a top choice for these applications.

What Do the Model Letters Mean?

The name of this cable, NGFLGOEU, carries a lot of information about its structure and performance. Here's what each part of the name means:

N: A standard symbol for cables made to German (DIN VDE) standards.

G: Refers to the presence of a green/yellow protective conductor.

F: Represents flexibility, indicating this cable can endure frequent bending.

LGO: Refers to the rubber insulated flat cable design that is suitable for moving applications.

EU: Stands for the outer sheath material, in this case, a durable elastomer suited for extreme environments.

By understanding these letters, it's clear that the Plano-Flex NGFLGOEU is not your average cable. It’s engineered to handle extreme bending and mechanical stress, making it a dependable choice for industries that rely on dynamic systems.

Design Features

Conductor: The cable uses electrolytic copper for its conductor, offering excellent electrical conductivity. For sizes up to 25 mm², the conductor is extremely finely stranded in class 6 to allow maximum flexibility.

For larger sizes (above 35 mm²), the conductor is still highly flexible with class 5 stranding.

Insulation:

The insulation is made of PROTOLON (EPR rubber compound 3GI3), which meets the standards of DIN VDE 0207. This material provides robust insulation, allowing the cable to withstand high mechanical stresses without compromising safety or performance.

Core Identification:

The cable comes with a variety of core identification systems depending on the number of cores. For cables with up to five cores, the cores are colored for easy identification. For larger cables (with more than five cores), the cores are numbered in white against a black background, ensuring simple and fast identification in any installation environment.

Core Arrangement:

Cores are arranged parallel for flexibility, and for cables with more than 12 cores, the arrangement is in parallel bundles. This design reduces stress on individual cores, ensuring longevity.

Outer Sheath:

The outer sheath is made from chloroprene rubber (CR compound 5GM3), which is flame retardant and weather-resistant, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. It is also resistant to ozone, UV rays, and moisture, offering a high level of durability in harsh environments.

Electrical Performance

The Plano-Flex NGFLGOEU is rated for 300/500V (600V) operation, which makes it ideal for control and power systems in industrial settings. The cable can handle an AC test voltage of 2.5kV for five minutes, ensuring that it can perform reliably under higher voltages when needed.

The cable’s insulation is designed to withstand a maximum conductor temperature of 90°C, while the short-circuit temperature can reach 250°C. These high thermal limits are crucial for operations in environments where heat build-up is common.

Resistance to Harsh Environments

When it comes to resisting chemical and weather exposure, the Plano-Flex NGFLGOEU truly excels. It is resistant to oil as per DIN VDE 0473-404, ensuring that it won’t degrade in oily environments common in industrial applications. Additionally, the cable is resistant to the elements, allowing for unrestricted outdoor and indoor use.

Whether it’s UV rays, ozone, or moisture, this cable maintains its integrity and performance over time, even when exposed to harsh environmental conditions.

Mechanical Performance

This cable is designed to handle a tensile load of up to 15 N/mm², and with a minimum bending radius specified in DIN VDE 0298 part 3, it can bend and flex without risk of damage. This ensures long-term operational reliability, especially in applications where constant movement is expected.

One of the key features of the Plano-Flex NGFLGOEU is its suitability for festoon systems, where it operates at speeds of up to 180 m/min on motorized trolleys. For non-motorized systems, the cable can handle speeds of up to 160 m/min, making it versatile for a range of industrial applications.

Certification and Compliance

The Plano-Flex NGFLGOEU cable complies with the highest industry standards, including DIN VDE 0250-809. It also carries the VDE Marking and UL-File E 113313 certification, which assures customers that this cable meets stringent safety and performance requirements. Additionally, the cable is EAC Certified, further proving its reliability for international markets.
