Choosing the most suitable cable is not just a technical matter, because it directly impacts the efficiency and reliability of equipment. Some of the main reasons why choosing the correct cable is essential include:
- Safety: An inadequate cable can cause malfunctions, short circuits, or even fires.
- Durability and resistance: Specific materials and designs enable cables to withstand various environmental and mechanical conditions, such as extreme temperatures, industrial oils, or continuous movements.
- Cost optimization: Using the right cables reduces machine downtime and maintenance costs.
- Regulatory compliance: Ensuring that the system meets required certifications is crucial, especially in sectors like the food industry or advanced automation.
How to choose the most suitable cable?
When selecting a cable, several key factors must be considered:
Environmental conditions:
- The presence of oils, humidity, or aggressive chemicals requires resistant cables such as SADAOIL® or SADACHAIN®.
- In outdoor environments, it is essential to opt for UV-resistant cables.
Handling:
- For static applications, fixed installation cables are recommended.
- For continuous movements, a flexible cable is necessary, such as those from the SADACHAIN®
Temperature:
- Some cables, like SIHF, can operate in a very wide temperature range (-60°C to +180°C), making them ideal for extreme conditions.
Regulations and certifications:
- For specific markets (e.g., North America), cables must comply with UL/CSA standards, such as the SADATRAY
Specific applications:
- Shielded cables, such as SADASERVO® CY, are essential for interference-free transmissions.
