Shielded high-flex drag chain cable
ARI220 Twisted-Pair Shielded Signal Cable, PVC
ARI220 PVC has the same twisted-pair shielded construction as the PUR version, with PVC insulation and jacket. It is the economical choice for indoor machinery where oil exposure is low and high flame retardance is wanted.
5 millioncycles at 7.5×D
7.5×Dmin. bend radius in chain
3 m/stravel speed in chain
8 m/s²max. acceleration
Suited to
- Indoor drag chains with low oil exposure
- Signal wiring where flame retardance matters more than oil resistance
- Cost-sensitive machines with moderate cycle counts
