Special cables

What are CFSPECIAL cables?

We developed the CFSPECIAL cable group for use in special applications. For special moving applications, only special cables can be used as they go beyond normal energy supply. However, this always means a minimum production quantity, which is usually unrealistic, especially for maintenance customers or very small applications. What is special about the CFSPECIAL family is that it is available as standard catalogue cables and can therefore be supplied quickly. This product range is slightly narrower, but we can expand it quickly if required.

Portrait of special cables

To give you an overview of what is already possible, this section highlights our special cables. We like to continually adapt this range of special cables to so we are open to new challenges and suggestions! 

A thermal compensation cable is the connection between a thermocouple and a measuring device. The thermal compensation cable must have the same materials as the thermocouple. The measurement would otherwise be distorted due to unwanted additional thermoelectric voltages.

CFFLAT: This cable has been specially developed for small installation spaces where large core cross sections are required. We use a flat cable design with a braided conductor in the core.

CFBRAID: We have often been asked to implement the 7G2.5 core/cross-section combination over long distances and in tight installation spaces. The classic wound layer design leads to corkscrews in such applications. This braiding technique in the cores eliminates corkscrews.

Cable for high-tensile-strength applications: Article Number CFSPECIAL.182 features our high-tensile-strength cable. The aramid braid built into the outer sheath allows this cable to withstand tensile forces of up to 15,000% higher than the norm.

Cables with the railway fire protection standard: Article Number CFSPECIAL.4xx features cables that have been classified according to DIN EN 45545-2, the railway fire protection standard. Cables have to meet special standards in order to protect passengers in rail vehicles. The main focus is flame resistance and low smoke fume development in the event of a fire. Since the requirements cannot be met with standard energy chain cables, it was necessary to develop a special solution. This section contains the result.

Seventh axis cables: A cable for supplying the entire robot when it is mounted on a so-called seventh axis. This axis that allows a robot to move along with the workpiece. The structure of the cable complies with the electrical specifications of the robot manufacturer.
