Welke kabel heb ik nodig voor mijn toepassing?

Kies eerst de toepassing op deze pagina. Weet je de rijweg en het aantal bewegingen, dan geeft de kabelfinder direct de lichtste klasse die past.

Wat is het verschil tussen buigen en torsie?

Bij buigen gaat de kabel heen en weer door een bocht, zoals in een kabelrups. Bij torsie draait hij om zijn eigen as, zoals rond de pols van een robot. Dat zijn verschillende belastingen.

Zijn alle TRAXLINE-kabels hoogflexibel?

Op twee na wel: CONTROL 200 en CONTROL 200 C zijn buigflexibel, voor korte slagen en eenvoudige buigende toepassingen.

Leveren jullie de kabels compleet in de kabelrups?

Ja. We kiezen kabels en rups samen, delen de rups in en leveren op lengte of compleet gemonteerd vanuit Ruurlo.

Hoe snel zijn kabels leverbaar?

De standaard levertijd is 1–3 werkdagen. Wat op voorraad ligt en vóór 14:00 besteld is, gaat vaak dezelfde dag de deur uit.

Cables by application

Start with the movement,then the cable.

Which cable you need depends on what it does and how it moves. Choose your application below: robot, servo motor, cable carrier or data. Each page shows the matching TRAXLINE series, with the limits from the data.

Four applications, each its own cable

Per application the explanation, what to look out for and the matching series from the cable data.

01Robot cableTorsion and movement in 3D on the arm, bending in the cable carrier of the axis.
02Servo and motor cablePower to the motor and feedback from the encoder, shielded.
03Drag chain cableHighly flexible cable for the cable carrier, chosen by class.
04Data and bus cableMeasurement signals, fieldbus, Ethernet, USB, coax and fibre optics.

Four questions that determine the cable

TRAXLINE series: 44
Variants: 521
Cable types: 7
Classes: 200 · 400 · 700 · 1000

Every cable choice starts with the same four questions: how does the cable move, how often, how far and what does it carry.

Movement: does the cable bend in one plane, as in a cable carrier, or does it also twist around its own axis, as on a robot arm? The latter is torsion, and the TRAXLINE series are not specified for it.

Number and distance: the number of movement cycles and the travel distance determine the class. TRAXLINE ranges from 2 million cycles and 25 m in class 200 to 10 million cycles and 1000 m in class 1000.

Content: power, control current, signals, bus or light. That determines the cable type and whether you need shielding. The environment then determines the jacket: PVC, PUR or TPE.

Many machines combine applications. A robot on a linear axis has a dress pack on the arm and a cable carrier on the axis; a servo axis has power, feedback and often a bus cable in the same carrier. Then choose the right type and class per cable, and lay out the carrier with a separator between power and signal.

We choose cables and carrier together, because the thickest cable determines the radius and the outer diameters the inner size. That way everything fits first time, and if you wish we deliver the whole system fully assembled from Ruurlo.

Five mistakes that cost cables

01A fixed cable in a moving application
An installation cable is not made to bend: cores break, the jacket tears.
02A cable carrier cable on the robot arm
Bending in one plane is a different load than torsion around the wrist.
03No shielding on a drive
Motor and encoder cables on a frequency or servo drive should be shielded.
04The heaviest class just to be safe
The lightest class that is sure to fit is enough. The cable finder puts it at the top.
05Laid crossed or twisted
Lay straight, without torsion, with strain relief at both ends.
