HELU CABLES IN DYNAMIC INSTALLATIONS
DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION: POWER SUPPLIES ON RILINEX.
In an industrial environment, cables must fulfill far more functions than just transmitting electrical power or signals. They should maintain full reliability even under heavy mechanical loads, in harsh working conditions, and during intensive use.
HELU cables designed for cable carriers( drag chain) are specifically engineered for dynamic applications. They perform well in both fast-operating machine tools with limited installation space and in port installations where long travel distances are required. Each of these applications demands appropriately selected materials, construction, and technical parameters. Below we present an overview of such HELU products – adapted to diverse and most demanding applications in industry and automation.
In this article, we cover topics such as:
• Ethernet infrastructure in mobile installations
• Control cables for robotics
• Hybrid cabling, i. e., control and power
• Advantages of polyurethane insulation
• Requirements for drive power cables
• Signal conduction in dynamic systems
HELUKAT ® Network Cables
HELUKAT ® cables are advanced cabling for Ethernet applications, also ideal for industrial automation systems. HELU offers cables adapted to work in drag chains and in challenging environmental conditions. The products meet the PROFINET standard requirements and offer high transmission parameters – from category 5e to 7e.

The cable construction is standardized, so RJ45 connectors are mounted at the ends using a standard crimping tool. The outer jackets are made of flameresistant PVC or material with FRNC properties.
MULTIFLEX 512 ® Series
MULTIFLEX 512 ® cables are designed for use in drag chains. They come in unshielded and doubleshielded versions, using braided copper wires. Their main purpose is signal transmission in static and dynamic installations. The latter includes machines, machine tools, robots, etc. The flexible control cables MULTIFLEX 512 ® have sliding properties and provide optimal operational durability, thanks to the use of PP core insulation and an outer PUR sheath, free from adhesive substances and resistant to cuts.

MULTIFLEX 512 ® cables have 2 to 36 cores( numerically marked) with cross-sections from 0.75mm2 to 2.5mm2. The rated voltage is 300 / 500V. Regardless of the version, the cores are made in a stranded format, providing the cables with the highest possible flexibility.
Hybrid Solutions TOPSERV ® and TOPGEBER
“ Hybrid” cables are those that simultaneously serve for power supply and signal transmission. Such demand most often occurs when controlling servomechanisms, which is why many hybrid solutions from HELU belong to the TOPSERV ® series. They are adapted for use in advanced production processes, robotics, tool industry, etc. The cable may have, for example, an additional overall shield and is most often made in compliance with various standards( VDE, UL, and CSA).
