Premium 16‑Core TVVB Flexible Flat Cable | 0.75mm² PVC Insulated Crane & Overhead Travel Flat Cable

In the demanding world of industrial automation and material handling, equipment downtime isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a direct hit to profitability. Whether you are engineering a festoon system for an overhead crane or designing the travel mechanism for a panoramic elevator, the cabling you choose acts as the nervous system of your machinery.

Shanghai Ruosheng Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. introduces the Premium 16-Core TVVB Flexible Flat Cable, specifically engineered to withstand the rigorous repetitive motion of lifting and hoisting equipment. Designed with a precise 0.75mm² cross-section and robust PVC insulation, this flat cable offers a compact, durable solution for dynamic applications across Europe and beyond.

Why Choose Flat Cables for Festoon Systems?

Unlike round cables, which can twist and corkscrew under constant flexing, flat cables like the TVVB series are designed to flex in a single plane. This geometric advantage allows for tighter stacking in cable carriers and festoon trolleys, significantly reducing the bending radius and mechanical stress on the copper conductors.

Key Benefits of the Ruosheng TVVB Design:

• Space Optimization: The flat profile allows for smaller bending radii, making it ideal for compact installations where space is at a premium.
• Reduced Torsion: The linear arrangement of cores prevents the internal twisting that often leads to conductor breakage in round cables.
• Enhanced Durability: Our specialized PVC compound resists oil, moisture, and abrasion, ensuring longevity even in harsh industrial environments.

Technical Specifications

Engineers and procurement managers need reliable data to ensure compatibility. Below are the detailed specifications for our 16-core model.

Engineered for Dynamic Performance

This cable is not just about connecting point A to point B; it is about maintaining that connection through thousands of cycles of movement.

1. Superior Flexibility

The Class 5 stranded copper conductors provide the necessary flexibility to handle continuous bending without fatigue. This is crucial for applications like overhead traveling cranes, where the cable is constantly expanding and contracting in a festoon system.

2. Robust PVC Jacket

The outer sheath is formulated to tough industrial standards. It provides excellent resistance to:

• Mechanical Stress: Withstands the tension and friction of moving cable trolleys.
• Environmental Factors: Resistant to oil splashes, dust, and varying humidity levels common in warehouses and factories.

3. Safety and Compliance

Manufactured by Shanghai Ruosheng, a leader in special cable R&D, this product meets rigorous international standards. It is flame retardant (passing GB/T 18380.1 tests) and RoHS compliant, ensuring it meets the safety and environmental requirements for export to European markets.

Ideal Applications

The 16-Core TVVB Flat Cable is versatile and suited for various heavy-duty applications:

• Overhead Cranes & Hoists: Power and control supply for festoon systems.
• Elevators: Traveling cable for internal and panoramic lifts (suspension length <80m, speed <4m/s).
• Automated Storage Systems: Gantry robots and conveyor systems requiring reliable mobile power.
• Material Handling Equipment: Conveyors and telescoping machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between TVVB and standard round cables?

TVVB cables are flat, which allows them to bend repeatedly in one plane without twisting. This significantly extends the service life in mobile applications like elevators and cranes compared to standard round cables, which are prone to “corkscrewing.”

Can this cable be used outdoors?

While the PVC jacket is durable, standard TVVB cables are best suited for indoor or sheltered outdoor environments. For direct exposure to harsh UV radiation or extreme weather, please contact our engineering team for specialized UV-resistant solutions.

What is the maximum suspension length for this cable?

For free-hanging applications like elevators, the recommended maximum suspension length is typically around 80 meters without a steel support wire. For longer lengths, a reinforced version with steel wire bearers is advised.

Is customization available?

Yes. Shanghai Ruosheng specializes in R&D for special cables. We can customize the core count, cross-section, and jacket materials (e.g., for extreme cold or oil resistance) to meet your specific project requirements.
