In order for crane hoists to transmit energy between the operator panel and the crane lifts, flexible electrical wires are essential in numerous consumer and industrial applications. Old telephone wires used to twist and provide flexibility when pulled, which is the best example of flexible wires. Wires are flexible not by accident - we apply high-quality material to each wire to produce flexible wires. One of our most popular flexible wires is the RVV wire, which we offer for sale at ZW Cable.

Flex Cables: What Are They Used For?

For consumer electronics, vehicles, industrial machines, and other systems that require constant movement, many cable movements are necessary. Those machines that perform repetitive motions on a daily basis need to know this. In order to design flexible wires for various industrial applications, ZW Cable took the time to understand the flex requirements of specific applications.

You will learn about flexible wires, how to choose a wire, and what product features make up the most popular flexible wires in this guide. The terms "flex cable", "flexible cable", and "flexy cable" can be seen on cables for sale, but what do they mean, what are the best materials, and how do you choose the right one?

Flexible electric cables have the following features

The latest generation of flexible solar cable manufactured at ZW Cable provides improved features that cut energy consumption, weigh less, and take up less space. Modern machinery such as robotics and industrial machines operate on a 24/7 basis, requiring constantly repetitive movements - sometimes tens of thousands per day. Those movements require reliable flexing cables that can withstand thousands of movements without breaking. Movements strain not only the internal mechanics of the machine, but also the wiring.

Therefore, you need cables that are specifically designed for prolonged, repetitive movements. Engineers spend a lot of time optimizing machines, but they don't pay enough attention to selecting cables and sizing them properly. Because of this, cables tend to malfunction often on machines, resulting in machine failures. Research shows that nearly 50% of machine quality issues are related to cables. To accomplish this, you'll need flexible wire.
