PUR Cables

PUR Cables

AKY Cable supplies PUR (Polyurethane) sheathed cables designed for the most demanding industrial environments in Australia & New Zealand. PUR offers superior resistance to mechanical stress, abrasion, chemicals, oils and harsh weather — making it the preferred choice for heavy-duty flexible applications where standard PVC or rubber cables fail prematurely. Particularly critical for the Australian mining, automation and heavy engineering sectors.

Why Choose PUR Sheath?

  • Abrasion Resistant — significantly outlasts PVC and rubber in high-friction environments. Perfect for drag chain, cable track and cable carrier systems
  • Oil & Chemical Resistant — resists hydraulic oils, coolants, greases and industrial solvents. Ideal for machine tools, workshops and mining processing plants
  • Low Temperature Flexibility — remains flexible down to –40°C, suitable for cold storage, alpine regions and overnight winter conditions in southern AU and NZ South Island
  • UV & Weather Resistant — suitable for permanent outdoor installations exposed to Australian sun and coastal salt spray
  • Hydrolysis Resistant — performs well in humid, wet and tropical environments (North QLD, NT, Pacific Islands)
  • Tear Resistant — high mechanical strength prevents sheath damage during installation and ongoing flexing

Key Specifications:

  • Conductor: Class 5/6 flexible tinned copper
  • Insulation: PVC, PE, TPE or PP depending on application
  • Sheath: PUR (Polyurethane) — various hardness grades available
  • Screen (optional): Tinned copper braid or foil/aluminium laminate
  • Voltage Rating: 300/500V, 0.6/1kV
  • Temperature Range: –40°C to +90°C
  • Standards: VDE 0250, IEC 60227, compatible with UL/CSA
  • Flame Retardant: IEC 60332-1-2

AU/NZ Market Applications:

  • Mining & mineral processing — trailing cables for draglines, drills, conveyors and processing plant equipment; longwall shearer cables; shuttle car cables
  • Robotics & automation — articulated robot arm cables, gantry robot power and signal cables
  • Drag chain & cable track / energy chain — continuous flex applications in manufacturing, packaging and assembly lines
  • Machine tools & manufacturing — CNC machines, lathes, mills and machining centres
  • Oil & gas facilities — onshore gas plants, offshore platforms, wellhead control systems
  • Port & harbour installations — wharf cranes, container handling equipment, ship loaders
  • Welding & cutting equipment — flexible welding cable sheathed in PUR for extended abrasion life
  • Outdoor stage & event technology — touring productions, festivals and outdoor broadcast systems
