FAQs of MACHFLEX 350 YY 12G0.5:
Q: How should the MACHFLEX 350 YY 12G0.5 cable be installed for optimal performance?
A: For best results, the cable should be installed with a minimum bending radius of 7.5 times its outer diameter (approximately 7.6 mm per the specification). It is suitable for both fixed and flexible installations, especially in drag chain and automated machinery applications. Ensure the environment is within the specified operating temperature range.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this cable in industrial applications?
A: The MACHFLEX 350 YY 12G0.5 offers high flexibility, oil and flame resistance, and robust mechanical strength, making it ideal for power and control in mechanical engineering, conveyor systems, and control panels. Its durable PVC insulation adds reliable electrical and mechanical protection for prolonged service life.
Q: When is it appropriate to select this cable over a halogen-free alternative?
A: Choose this cable when flame retardancy, flexibility, and mechanical strength are priorities and halogen-free requirements are not mandatory. It is not suitable for environments where halogen-free materials are strictly required, as it contains PVC insulation and jacket.
Q: Where can the MACHFLEX 350 YY 12G0.5 be most effectively used?
A: This control cable excels in applications like drag chains, control panels, plant machinery connections, and conveyor systems within industrial and automation sectors. It is particularly suited for installations that demand flexibility and regular movement.
Q: What is the process for storing the cable if it is not immediately installed?
A: Store the cable in a cool, dry area where the ambient temperature is between -30C and +70C. It is supplied in standard coils, making handling and storage convenient until installation.
Q: Is the MACHFLEX 350 YY 12G0.5 compliant with environmental and safety standards?
A: Yes, it is RoHS compliant and lead-free, ensuring minimal environmental impact and adherence to international safety regulations. Please note, while the cable is not halogen-free, it passes IEC 60332-1 for flame retardance.
