Maintenance and care tips for high-flex cables

In demanding application environments such as industrial automation and robotics, high-flex cables are widely used due to their excellent performance. In order to ensure their long-term and stable operation, maintenance and care are particularly important. This article will share some maintenance and care tips for high-flex cables to help you maximize the service life of the cables.

1. Correct installation and fixing The installation of high-flex cables is the first step to extend their life. During the installation process, the twisting and stretching of the cables must be avoided. The cables should be laid loosely side by side in the drag chain, ensuring that there is a certain gap between each cable to avoid squeezing each other. At the same time, cable fixings should be installed at both ends of the drag chain to prevent the cables from being subjected to additional stretching when moving in the drag chain.

2. Regular inspection and replacement Regularly check the appearance and performance of the cable to promptly detect and deal with problems such as wear and tear. Especially in high-load environments, cables are susceptible to mechanical damage, and regular inspections can effectively prevent major failures. If the cable sheath is severely worn or the core wire is broken, the cable should be replaced immediately to avoid equipment downtime due to cable failure.

3. Avoid excessive bending The bending radius of high-flex cables is one of the key factors affecting their life. According to Suning's recommendations, different types of cables should follow the corresponding minimum bending radius. Excessive bending can cause damage to the internal structure of the cable, thereby shortening its service life. Therefore, during design and installation, be sure to ensure that the bending radius of the cable meets the requirements.

4. Use appropriate protective measures In some special application scenarios, such as when there are highly corrosive media or high temperature environments, appropriate protective measures should be taken. For example, using oil-resistant, wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant outer sheath materials can significantly improve the durability of the cable.
