Medium voltage cable for
long-travel crane installations
Technologynews
July 2017
IGUS has developed the new chainflex
medium voltage cable, called CFCRANE.
PUR, suitable for very long travels of up
to 1,000 metres, such as those found in
crane installations.
Motor cables of this series are highly
flexible, flame retardant, and oil and UV
resistant.
As a retrofit solution or for special
projects, they are now available to order
from stock.
“In the crane and material handling
sectors, installations are getting
increasingly larger and working at
ever-higher dynamics and duty cycles,” said
Justin Leonard, igus.
Rated for voltages of 6/10kV, the cables
are suitable for use in both indoor and
outdoor applications, due to the special
conductor structure and combination
of the materials used. In addition, the
CFCRANE.PUR series is up to 20 per
cent smaller in diameter in comparison
to conventional motor cables, with a
bending radius of 10xd.
Tested in the igus test laboratory, as with
all 1,244 chainflex cables, these cables
are available from stock with a lifetime
guarantee of 36 months.

Meeting requirements
Ajex & Turner, India, produces high quality trapezoidal wire drawing dies and sector
shaped conductor dies.
The company is able to serve its customers with any special tooling, such as shape
drawing dies (trolley, oval, trapezoidal, rectangular, square, triangle, sector, etc) and
sector shaped compacting dies for bunching and stranding lines. Fundamentally this
kind is used in the wire design and cable manufacture industries.
Trapezoidal/shaped wire drawing dies apply to rod break down machines and drawing
machines, and are used in wire drawing. Sector shaped compacting dies (D shape
sector dies) are used on rigid stranding machines and are suitable for use in the
production of low voltage underground power cables or similar.
