The control cable H05VV5-F 5G1,5 from Xaver Bechtold is a flexible, oil-resistant cable designed for use in industrial applications. It complies with DIN VDE and HAR standards and is used in areas such as machine tool and packaging machinery construction, conveyor and automation technology, automotive industry, and CNC machining centers. The cable is designed for both moving and stationary applications and features high mechanical load capacity and chemical resistance.

Applications

The control cable H05VV5-F 5G1,5 is intended for use in industrial environments with increased requirements for oil resistance and mechanical load capacity. It is frequently used in machines and systems operating under dynamic conditions, such as conveyor systems, automation solutions, or CNC machines. The cable is designed for indoor use, with temperature resistance also ensured during short-term temperature fluctuations during operation.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The cable consists of five individual conductors, each with a cross-section of 1.5 mm², made of bare, fine-stranded copper wires according to VDE 0295 Class 5. Each conductor is insulated with PVC and marked in accordance with VDE 0293-308. The conductors are stranded in layers, ensuring even distribution of mechanical stress and improved flexibility. The outer sheath is made of a special PVC compound offering enhanced oil resistance. The sheath color is gray, providing good visibility and identification in industrial environments.

Technology Explained Simply

The designation H05VV5-F describes the technical classification of the cable: H stands for heating cables, 05 for a rated voltage of 300/500 V, VV for PVC insulation of both conductors and sheath, 5 for five conductors, and F for flexible use. The designation 5G1,5 indicates that the cable contains five conductors with a cross-section of 1.5 mm², where G denotes an integrated green-yellow protective earth conductor. The cable is rated for a nominal voltage of 300/500 V and has a test voltage of 3000 V, ensuring high electrical insulation performance. Temperature resistance is -5 °C to +70 °C for moving applications and -40 °C to +70 °C for stationary applications. The bending radius is 12.5 times the cable diameter, allowing flexible installation even with frequent bending. Flame retardancy corresponds to test method B according to VDE 0472 Part 804 (equivalent to IEC 332-1), ensuring limited flame spread. Oil resistance is rated as very good according to DIN VDE 0281 Part 1, ensuring suitability for environments with oil and grease contact.

Compatibility and Accessories

The control cable H05VV5-F 5G1,5 is compatible with standard cable lugs, connectors, and other connection elements designed for PVC insulation and a cross-section of 1.5 mm². Use in combination with other cables or wires must comply with respective installation specifications and standards. The cable is intended for use in industrial control and signal circuits, connecting to control devices, sensors, actuators, and other electrical components.

Installation and Mounting

Installation of the control cable must comply with applicable VDE and DIN standards. The cable can be installed in cable ducts, protective sleeves, or directly, provided minimum bending radii are maintained. For moving applications, sufficient flexibility and clearance for movement must be ensured. Conductors are connected using appropriate connection elements, ensuring electrical insulation and mechanical strength of the connection. The cable is designed for indoor use, with environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and chemical influences to be considered.

Operational Advantages

The control cable H05VV5-F 5G1,5 offers high reliability and longevity in industrial applications. The oil-resistant special PVC compound protects the cable from wear caused by oils and greases, extending its service life. The flexible construction allows easy installation even in tight or moving areas. High electrical insulation performance and flame retardancy increase operational safety. Clear conductor marking simplifies installation and maintenance.
