Control Cables

Control Cables



Control Cables is generally used in the electric utility, industrial and commercial market place. Copper Cable is used in control circuits, power circuits, in assembly lines, in production lines etc. It is used to transmit currents that directly cause operation of some machinery parts like relays, solenoids, motor starters, or circuit breakers. It is suitable for dry, moist and wet areas and also suitable for outdoor applications.

These control cables serve for long time and they offer the type of quality and reliability needed for consistency. Even in harshest environments they ensure top performance. They are available with multiple armoring and jacketing options which make them ideal for all industries.




Properties of Signal Control Cables

They are resistant to mineral oils and synthetic oils.
They are also resistant to refrigerants.
There is no effect of any type of radiation or gases on these cables. They are resistant to UV-radiation, ozone and oxygen.
They are highly abrasion resistance, notch resistant, tear and cut-resistant.
Applications of Control Cables
Control cables is used in a number of different industries. It is used for variety of functions and purposes. Some of the main industries where it is used:
Automation Industry
Wastewater Treatment
Tool Making Machinery
Conveyor Systems
Air Conditioning
Iron Industry
Steel Industry
Chemical Industry
Mining Industry
Cement Industry
Types of Control Cables:

Sheathed Control Cable
PVC Insulated Control Cable
Plastic Insulated Control Cable
Silicone Control Cable
Flame Resistant Control Cable
Signal Control Cable
Push Pull Control Cable
Signal Control Cable
Signal control cables are required for industrial instrumentation and control applications. These rugged, multi-conductor cables are specialized for industrial environments. They are used for a number of applications like connections of electronic devices. Also used for monitoring, electric, metering and automatic devices system.

The conductor used in these wires is made of copper or high strength copper alloys. These cables are insulated from certain materials which include Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polyurethane, PVC, Nylon and FEP. The cable jacket is needed for prevention from chemical or abrasion resistance. The material used include Polyurethanes, PVC, ETFE and FEP as needed by the application.


Silicone Control Cable
Silicon control cables are high temperature multi-conductor cables. They are especially used at those places where high temperatures quickly cause other cables to deteriorate and fail. Generally they are halogen free and flame retardant. They are preferred where PVC insulated cables are more prone to damage due to more temperatures fluctuations.

Features of Silicone Control Cable
The material used to insulate these cables is mainly silicone rubber. It has several properties which help it to be used in extreme conditions.
It is resistant to animal fat and vegetable fat, different types of oil and diluted acids.
It is also resistant to ultra violet rays.
When it came in contact with different alcohols or alkaline solutions, no decomposition occurs at all.
It is flexible as well as cost effective.
It is also resistant to oxygen and ozone.
Even if by chance the cables burn a protective layer of silicone dioxide will remain on the conductor to prevent it from short circuiting.
Applications of Silicone Control Cables
Due to their excellent properties in extreme conditions and atmosphere they are used in a number of industries for varieties of purposes. Their uses include:

Foundries
Metallurgical Industries
Steel Mills
Glass Factories
Plastic Factories
Furnaces
Commercial Baking Equipment
Other High Temperature Operations.
Sheathed Control Cable
Sheathed control cables are used for a lot of applications and in numerous fields. They are specially used at those places where the damage to cables is likely to occur. The damage to the cables or wires may be due to fire, scratches, stretching, pressure, heat etc. These cables are covered with such a stiff material that they can withstand the outer effects for quite a sometime without the cables being damaged.

A sheathed control cables consists of four main layers. The innermost layer is the conductor itself. Surrounding it is a cable-guide duct of a material which has a low coefficient of friction. Then there is an armoring surrounding the cables-guide duct, and finally there is an outer sheath providing mechanical protection. A number of industries like automobile, machine tools, heavy electrical, and various other manufacturing industries use sheath cables.
