APPLICATIONS

MEKCHAIN® PP-C-PUR are installed there, where the extreme requirements for the cables are necessary. The selected materials and lay-up technique permit these high flexible cables for permanent application in drag chains for long distances, high and low speed of movements. These high flexible PVC control cables are suitable for shift- and bending stresses in machines and machine tool constructions. These are installed in dry, moist rooms and in open air with free movement without tensile stress or forced movements. These screened cables are particularly suitable for the interference-free transmission in instrumentation and control engineering applications. For applications which go beyond standard solutions (for example for composting appliances or high shelf conveyors with extremely high processing speeds etc.)

Properties

• Low adhesion
• Resistant to ozone and UV
• High alternative bending strength feature
• Long-term durability thanks to low friction resistance
• Better chemical resistance
•  High stability
• More economical solution
• Reduced Ø causes the weight of moving materials to be reduced
• The materials used in production are cadmium-free, silicone-free and do not contain substances harmful to the wetting properties of the polishes.

Tests
