In industrial automation, cables act as the central nervous system of complex machinery. However, the reliability of these connections ddepends entirely on their resistance to harsh operating conditions. When cables come into contact with aggressive oils, extreme heat, or chemical fumes, the choice of material becomes a critical safety factor.
Selecting an unsuitable jacket material often leads to gradual degradation or cable breakage. The resulting unplanned production downtime incurs costs that far exceed the initial investment in the correct cable. At BizLink, we follow a clear principle: the specific environment defines the required material.
Material Science: The Right Solution for Every Challenge
To ensure efficient planning and maximum equipment longevity, it is essential to differentiate between the various polymers available:
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Economical & Proven This material is the ideal choice for standard mechanical engineering and dry environments without significant chemical exposure. As a reliable all-rounder, PVC is particularly suited for stationary applications.
- TPU/PUR (Polyurethane): Extremely Oil- and Abrasion-Resistant Polyurethane is designed for highly flexible applications. It is indispensable for use in drag chains, on robots, or in machine tools, where cables are subjected to constant movement and contact with coolants.
- FRNC (Flame Retardant Non-Corrosive): Focus on Safety These flame-retardant and halogen-free materials are used wherever fire protection is the top priority. This specifically applies to infrastructure in public buildings or highly sensitive industrial areas.
Expertise as a Technological Standard
BizLink’s competence goes beyond simple material selection. Since a cable’s durability often depends on its specific chemical compound, our experts tailor the jacketing precisely to the mechanical and chemical requirements of each application. In this way, longevity evolves from a mere objective into a reproducible technical standard in your production.
Individual consulting and customized material blends ensure that cabling fulfills its function permanently—even under the harshest conditions, such as continuous torsion or thermal stress.
