7 outstanding features of SUPERTRONIC®- 310-C-PVC cvv cable

An increasing number of production processes are being automated across industries around the world; for example, the automotive industry, F&B, logistics, robotics… Computer controlled machining centers ensure greater productivity, consistent high quality and flexible manufacturing to batch size. Integrated automation systems in industry require a very large number of processors, sensors, drives and controls that are intelligently and digitally interconnected with each other. The right cables and wires are indispensable for this: they ensure that all system components reliably receive the power and data they need.

They must also meet complex requirements, depending on the application: for example, they might need to be resistant to elevated temperatures, chemicals, oil or mechanical stresses such as bending and torsion, be suitable for use in confined spaces or capable of ever higher data transmission rates. Such requirements make industrial automation a challenging environment for cables and wires.

CVV cables feature unique structural components , including an insulating sheath and an outer PVC sheath, offering high flexibility and suitability for diverse operating environments. These attributes address challenges in automation fields. Specifically, HELUKABEL's SUPERTRONIC CVV cable line is tailored with advanced features optimized for continuous motion systems. The SUPERTRONIC cable series includes variants such as:

SUPERTRONIC®-PVC

SUPERTRONIC® C-PVC

SUPERTRONIC®-310-PVC

SUPERTRONIC®- 310-C-PVC

Among them, the SUPERTRONIC®-310-C-PVC cable stands out for its exceptional characteristics.

The structure of the SUPERTRONIC®- 310-C-PVC cvv cable line can be divided into 4 basic elements as follows:

• Conductor: copper wire bare, finely stranded, unilay with short lay lengths. One major advantage of short lay length is the wire is highly flexible.
• Insulating sheath: special PVC according to UL-Std. 1581 Tab. 50.183 (semirigid).
• Outer sheath: grey color, made of special PVC, according to DIN VDE 0207-363- 4-1 / DIN EN 50363-4-1 (compound type TM5), UL-Std. 1581.
• Screen: braided screen of tinned copper wires, approx. coverage 85%

3.2 Temperature spectrum up to 80 °C

Temperature range refers to minimum thresholds and maximum thresholds that the cables can operate normally. This is heavily dependent on the cores and insulating materials, which result in varying operating temperatures. Generally, the material becomes flexible at high temperatures and stiff at low temperatures, making the material less suitable for applications that involve bending at high or low temperatures.

Regarding SUPERTRONIC®- 310-C-PVC cvv cable line, the temperature is -5°C to +80°C (when flexing) and -40°C to +80°C (for fixed installation). The lowest temperature for fixed installation is up to -40°C, helping this cvv cable line withstand harsh conditions in cold environments, such as cold storage or extreme climates, without reducing performance. or durability. The ability to withstand temperatures as high as +80°C helps the cable withstand temperatures generated during operation, ensuring safety and reliability when used in industrial systems requiring high heat loads.

3.3 Small bending radius

Besides high flexibility, this cvv cable line also has a small minimum bending radius; 7.5 times the diameter when flexing and 5 times the diameter for fixed installations. Thanks to that, the cable is highly flexible, easy to bend and adjust in limited spaces. This line of cables is suitable for use in applications with frequent, continuous lifting and bending stresses such as machine and tool manufacturing, robotics, drag chains, and other continuously moving applications.

3.4 Oil-resistant attributes

Oil can cause decomposition or weakening of the cable's insulation and protective sheathing materials. Oil resistance helps protect the cable from these effects, thereby increasing the service life of the cable and reducing the frequency of maintenance or replacement. SUPERTRONIC®- 310-C-PVC cvv cable line is oil-resistant according to DIN VDE 0473-811-404 / DIN EN 60811-404 / IEC 60811-404 standards, helping the cable's electrical and mechanical features to be maintained, ensuring effective signal and power transmission.

3.5 Flame-retardant capabilities

SUPERTRONIC®- 310-C-PVC is highly flame-retardant according to DIN VDE 0482-332-1-2 / DIN EN 60332- 1-2 / IEC 60332-1-2, UL VW-1, CSA FT1. Along with safety assurance, this standard renders the cable highly applicable in different industrial environments.
