The latest version of Belden’s high-performance VFD cables offers greater flexibility and is built to withstand longtime use in harsh industrial settings. “VFD cables are often large in size and difficult to install, which slows down installation and maintenance time. Our new Flex VFD cables are designed to overcome these application challenges with a more flexible design,” said Nick Birk, product line manager at Belden. “To achieve this flexibility, our cables house up to 2,000 individual strands of copper – this makes them very easy to bend without compromising the amount of copper used.” Belden’s Flex VFD cables are available in small, medium and large gauge sizes to meet the specific motor, drive and accessibility needs of various applications. Built with special, finely stranded copper conductors and more bendable cable jackets, these Flex VFD cables can be used in hard-to-access locations. The new cable jacketing also has robust, ruggedized features, including increased oil resistance and use in colder temperatures. The premium cable line is designed to: Extend the life of the drive system by handling high voltage spikes and eliminating potential damage to the cable, motors, bearings, drives and related equipment. Reduce the high levels of VFD cabling noise through enhanced shielding and grounding. “Since some VFD cables are in constant motion, especially in the automotive industry and small motor industrial applications, they need to last. While we’ve made the cables more flexible and easier to bend, they still maintain the ruggedized features necessary to operate in the toughest conditions,” added Birk. “In fact, our small gauge Flex VFD cables can handle up to 10 million flex cycles, which is especially important for use on-machines where relentless and repetitive motion is the norm.” Flex VFD cables protect against extreme conditions in the machine building, automotive, oil and gas, food and beverage and water and wastewater industries, and offer reliability for industrial applications, whether in hazardous areas on the factory floor or harsh outdoor environments.
