The control cable YSLY-OZ 2X0.75 from Xaver Bechtold is a flexible control cable for use in industrial electrical engineering, particularly in plant construction, machine tools, conveyor and assembly lines, and material handling systems. It is designed for fixed installation and flexible application, where movement must occur without tensile stress and without forced guidance. The cable is designed for moderate mechanical stress and can be used in dry, damp, and wet rooms. The designation YSLY-OZ indicates a control cable with numbered conductors without a protective earth conductor, where the conductors are black and marked with a continuous numerical print.
Applications
This control cable is suitable for use in industrial plants where reliable signal transmission between control devices and drives is required. It is commonly used in machine building, manufacturing technology, and automation technology, where it transmits signals for control and regulation processes. The cable is intended for indoor use, regardless of humidity, and can also be used in wet environments as long as there is no direct water exposure.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable consists of copper strands, which are bare, fine-stranded, and manufactured according to VDE 0295 Class 5. The conductors are insulated with PVC and marked according to VDE 0293-308. The conductors are stranded in layers to ensure even distribution of mechanical stress. The sheath is made of PVC and is gray in color. The designation, dimensions, and VDE registration number are printed on the sheath.
Technology Explained Simply
The rated voltage is 300/500 V, meaning the cable is designed for alternating voltages up to 500 V and direct voltages up to 300 V. The test voltage of 4000 V serves safety testing and guarantees insulation strength. The temperature range is -5 °C to +70 °C for flexible applications and -40 °C to +80 °C for fixed installations. The bending radius is 4 times the cable diameter for fixed installation and 15 times for flexible use. Flame retardancy corresponds to VDE 0472 Part 804, Test Method B (equivalent to IEC 332-1), ensuring limited flame spread. The cable is largely resistant to acids, alkalis, and certain hydrocarbon compounds.
Compatibility and Accessories
The control cable YSLY-OZ is compatible with standard connectors and cable glands designed for PVC insulation. It can be combined with other control cables of type YSLY-JZ (with protective earth conductor) if the application requires it. The cable is designed for use in industrial control and regulation circuits and can be connected with standard cable lugs, connectors, and cable glands.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by fixed installation or flexible application, ensuring that the bending radii are observed. For flexible applications, it must be ensured that no tensile stress occurs and no forced guidance is present. The cable can be installed in cable ducts, protective conduits, or openly. Connections are made using suitable connectors or cable lugs, ensuring that the insulation is not damaged.
Operational Advantages
The control cable offers high mechanical robustness and chemical resistance, making it suitable for use in industrial environments. The numbered conductor identification simplifies installation and maintenance, as the assignment of conductors is easily traceable. Flame retardancy increases operational safety, especially in enclosed spaces. The cable is designed for long service life and requires no special maintenance.
