How to choose a bend-resistant cable? You need to know the characteristics of the cable. Only by choosing the appropriate cable according to the characteristics of the cable required for our project can we better choose the appropriate cable. The bend-resistant cables of each cable manufacturer are different, with different parameters, quality, material use, and structure. Through these things, we can make a comprehensive judgment and choose a better bend-resistant cable.

 

Bend-resistant cables require specific bend shielding. When the shield is torn and loses continuity, choosing a standard foil shield will cause system failure. The difference between flexibility and bending performance should be kept in mind. It is important that marine bend-resistant cables can be bent and assembled. The installation of bend-resistant cables is simpler and also simplifies fault detection in cabinets and cable troughs.

 

One thing to note is that when the cable is used to connect to the cabinet, the round bend-resistant cable provides better sealing than the typical spiral cable. Therefore, the degree of bending should be correctly selected after considering the line. In some manufacturing applications, bend-resistant cables will be bent continuously. Whether they can withstand millions of bends is much more complicated than flexibility.

 

So, how to choose a bend-resistant cable? First of all, consider the type of bend, is it single-axis, twisted, or multi-axis? Each type requires different characteristics of the bend-resistant cable. For example, single-axis control cables require higher performance (14 million bends) and also require a bend-resistant cable structure with continuous bend shielding.

 

In a single-axis environment with lower requirements, a cable with a bend-type structure that can withstand at least 1 million bends is required. In twisted or different bends (such as torque robots, etc.), complex bend-resistant cables that can be wound and perform arbitrary robot torque operations of ±350°/m are required.
