Cranes and crane equipment are constantly in a state of repeated movement and suspended bent conditions. Ordinary round cables take up space and are not wear-resistant, making them prone to shell wear, cracking, and core wire breakage. To address this pain point, Shanghai Cable Company has optimized both materials and processes for flat cables: flexible core wire is twisted into bundles, outer sheaths are made of high-strength composite elastomer, and built-in Kevlar tensile elements are suitable for frequent suspension and movement of gantry cranes. In practical applications, the products have been recognized by customers in machinery, automation, and production line fields for their wear resistance, oil resistance, and high flexibility. Supports custom design and direct shipment from stock. Please inquire for 13311756197.

Product Features

II. Core Information of YVFB Flexible Flat Cable (1) Product Definition YVFB stands for: Copper Core PVC Insulated Nitrile Sheath Flexible Flat Cable. It is an industrial control cable specially designed for high-frequency mobile and bending scenarios, featuring a flat structure that saves space, high flexibility and fatigue resistance, and oil and wear resistance. It can replace traditional round cables for power and signal transmission in compact equipment layouts.

(2) Application Scenarios Typical Equipment Functional Requirements Automated Production Line Transplanter, Stacker, AGV Cart Follow the equipment in reciprocating movement, transmit control signals Logistics and Warehousing Conveyor Belt, Lifting Platform, Shuttle Car Adapt to multi-angle bending, resistant to dragging and wear Lifting Machinery Overhead Crane, Gantry Crane, Electric Hoist Vertical suspension movement, withstand tensile and torsional forces Woodworking Machinery Sliding Table Saw, Edge Banding Machine, Engraving Machine Resistant to wood dust and oil corrosion, operate with low noise Packaging Machinery Filling Machine, Sealing Machine, Labeling Machine High-frequency start-stop bending, resistant to mechanical vibration (3) Core Features Structural and Spatial Advantages Flat Design: Width/thickness ratio optimized (usually 2:1 to 3:1), saving 40% installation space compared to round cables of the same number of cores, suitable for narrow cable trays or drag chains.

Torsional resistance: The conductor uses a twisted and layered cable process, resulting in low friction between conductors and suitable for 360° rotation of the equipment.

Environmental adaptability Temperature range: -20℃ to 80℃ (optional high-temperature version: -40℃ to 105℃).

Oil-resistant and wear-resistant: Nitrile jacket (NBR) resists corrosion from mineral oil (weight change ≤2% after 72 hours of immersion), wear index ≤100mg (DIN 53516).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are flat cables arranged in a plum blossom/straight line?

This type of cable core arrangement can optimize space and reduce thickness within a limited cross-section, while ensuring consistent force on each core, enhancing overall flexibility.

Which is more bending resistant, flat cable or round cable?

Flat cables are especially advantageous in lifting scenarios with frequent movement and limited space; their flat structure is evenly stressed and not easily twisted, making them suitable for reciprocating movements such as cranes and overhead cranes.
