conductor structure and combination of the materials used. In addition, the CFCRANE.PUR series is up to 20 per cent smaller in diameter in comparison to conventional motor cables, with a bending radius of 10xd.

IGUS has developed the new chainflex medium voltage cable, called CFCRANE. PUR, suitable for very long travels of up to 1,000 metres, such as those found in crane installations. Motor cables of this series are highly flexible, flame retardant, and oil and UV resistant. As a retrofit solution or for special projects, they are now available to order from stock. “In the crane and material handling sectors, installations are getting increasingly larger and working at ever-higher dynamics and duty cycles,” said Justin Leonard, igus. Rated for voltages of 6/10kV, the cables are suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor applications, due to the special

Meeting requirements Ajex & Turner, India, produces high quality trapezoidal wire drawing dies and sector shaped conductor dies. The company is able to serve its customers with any special tooling, such as shape drawing dies (trolley, oval, trapezoidal, rectangular, square, triangle, sector, etc) and sector shaped compacting dies for bunching and stranding lines. Fundamentally this kind is used in the wire design and cable manufacture industries. Trapezoidal/shaped wire drawing dies apply to rod break down machines and drawing machines, and are used in wire drawing. Sector shaped compacting dies (D shape sector dies) are used on rigid stranding machines and are suitable for use in the production of low voltage underground power cables or similar.
