YVFBG Special Flat Cable for Crane Reel

As an indispensable energy transmission medium in modern industrial equipment, the performance of crane flat cables directly affects the safety and efficiency of cranes. Shanghai Oksen Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. specializes in the research, development, and production of high-quality crane flat cables. Their YFFB and YVFBG 0.6/1KV reel-specific flat cables, with excellent material selection and advanced manufacturing processes, enable stable and durable power transmission for various lifting equipment. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the materials, manufacturing processes, application scope, precautions, and installation methods of crane flat cables, aiming to offer readers systematic and in-depth knowledge.

I. Analysis of Crane Flat Cable Materials

High-quality materials are the foundation for flat cables to withstand frequent bending, stretching, and harsh environmental challenges. The YFFB and YVFBG series products from Shanghai Oksen Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. strictly use the following main materials:

• Conductor Material: Multi-strand fine copper wires are used as conductors, with high purity, excellent conductivity, and good flexibility, effectively ensuring stable current transmission and enhancing the fatigue resistance of the flat cable.

• Insulation Layer: High-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is used for insulation, offering excellent wear resistance, oil resistance, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance, ensuring electrical insulation safety even in high-temperature and humid environments.

• Sheath Material: The sheath layer is often made of high-tensile PVC, specially formulated to enhance the flat cable's UV resistance and weather resistance, making it suitable for outdoor and heavy industrial environments.

The combination of these materials not only enhances the mechanical strength of the cable but also extends its service life, avoiding failures caused by material aging.

II. Manufacturing Process—Craftsmanship Ensures Quality Assurance

To produce high-performance crane flat cables, Shanghai Oksen Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. adheres to strict manufacturing processes. From copper wire stranding to insulation and sheath extrusion, each step employs advanced equipment and precise control technology:

• Multi-Strand Copper Wire Stranding: Ensures uniform structure and no gaps, improving overall flexibility and conductivity, and reducing increased resistance due to poor stranding.

• Uniform Insulation Material Extrusion: Uses CNC extruders to achieve uniform insulation thickness, ensuring stable electrical performance and avoiding electric shock risks from weak spots.

• Sheath Layer Quality Inspection: After sheath extrusion, the cable undergoes wear resistance, bending resistance, and tensile strength tests, with multiple inspections ensuring product practicality and safety.

• Reel-Specific Design: The flat structure is optimized for reel usage environments, reducing operational noise and mechanical wear. The design and final product comply with 0.6/1KV grade standards.

These seemingly minor process details directly determine the cable's long-term stable operation and represent the core competitiveness of Shanghai Oksen's cable production.

III. Application Scope—Ideal Choice for Multiple Scenarios and Industries

Compared to traditional round cables, the YFFB and YVFBG series crane flat cables offer advantages such as space-saving, excellent flexibility, and strong wear resistance, making them suitable for various working conditions:

• Various Lifting Machinery: Including bridge cranes, gantry cranes, and portal cranes, especially suitable for reel-powered equipment requiring frequent bending.

• Port Machinery and Dock Equipment: Meets the high requirements for corrosion and wear resistance of port cranes, maintaining stable performance in high-salt fog environments.

• Industrial Production Line Equipment: Offers good oil and chemical resistance, suitable for power and control systems in heavy industrial assembly lines.

• Automated Warehousing and Logistics Systems: Flexibly handles high-speed operation and frequent movement scenarios, ensuring uninterrupted power supply and reducing downtime.

Due to the combination of performance and adaptability, YFFB and YVFBG flat cables have become the preferred choice in the lifting machinery field.

IV. Installation Precautions—Ensuring Safety and Long-Term Stability

High-quality products require proper installation to maximize performance. Shanghai Oksen Cable advises users to focus on the following key points:

• Pre-Installation Inspection: Ensure the cable has no external damage and the insulation layer is intact to avoid leakage or breakage during use.

• Wiring Planning: The flat cable should have sufficient bending radius as per equipment design to prevent internal conductor breakage due to over-bending.

• Reel Matching: Use reels that match the cable model to avoid stretching or slack issues caused by size mismatches, ensuring stable power supply.

• Fixing and Protection: Use dedicated clamps to secure the flat cable during installation, avoiding contact with sharp objects to prevent mechanical damage, and especially avoid external pulling forces.

• Regular Maintenance: Periodically check cable wear and joint conditions during use to ensure continuous safe operation and extend product life.

Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for overall safety and effective means of extending equipment life and reducing downtime costs.

V. Hidden Knowledge Points and Selection Recommendations

Beyond conventional parameters, users should consider the following hidden details when selecting crane flat cables:

• Temperature Adaptability: Extreme temperatures in the operating environment directly affect cable performance. Shanghai Oksen products fully consider local heating and external temperature changes during material selection, enhancing high and low-temperature resistance.

• Anti-Interference Capability: In complex metal structures of crane environments, cable braiding design is critical. The YVFBG model offers excellent performance, reducing electromagnetic interference and ensuring accurate signal transmission.

• Long-Term Fatigue Resistance: Crane flat cables endure long-term bending and stretching. Choose multi-strand copper wires and high-quality sheath materials to resist fatigue fracture risks.

• Size and Weight Balance: The flat design not only saves space but also reduces mechanical burden, improving crane operating efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

From a practical application perspective, Shanghai Oksen recommends users tailor the flat cable model and specifications based on equipment load and application environment to achieve optimal cost-effectiveness.
