Abrasion-Resistant PUR Power Cable for Port Machinery

Abrasion is the failure mode

On port equipment the sheath is the part that wears out: cables are dragged over spreader frames and steel edges, run through tight sheaves and exposed to salt spray year round. A thick, tear-resistant PUR jacket with a high core count laid in a compact bundle gives the longest service interval between replacements, and keeps the water out once the outer surface is scored.

Combined power and control

Rather than running a power cable and a separate control cable on the same festoon, these constructions can carry the main power conductors, the control cores and a screened pair for a bus or sensor in one body. Fewer cables means fewer festoon trolleys, fewer terminations to check and a lighter load on the cable carrier — and where a tensile element is required, it is integrated in the same jacket.

Applications

This construction is supplied into the following installations. Tell us which one applies and we will confirm the governing requirement.

Customisation

Core count and cross-section, screen arrangement, sheath compound and colour, print legend, length and termination are all built to order. Send the requirement — including the failed OEM part if this is a replacement — and we will propose the construction and confirm the lead time.
