Flexible FFC cable is a kind of FFC cable, which should be selected as the power transmission material and signal transmission carrier in the drag chain motion system, also known as drag chain FFC cable. It is mainly divided into sensor, encoder FFC cable, servo motor FFC cable, robot FFC cable, clean FFC cable, drag chain system FFC cable. Here is an introduction to its installation requirements and precautions.
1. The laying of drag chain FFC cable cannot be twisted, that is, the FFC cable cannot be untied from one end of the FFC cable reel or FFC cable reel. Instead, rotate the reel or FFC cable reel to unfold the FFC cable, and if necessary, unfold or hang the FFC cable. The FFC cable for this occasion can only be obtained directly from the FFC cable coil.
2. Pay attention to the minimum bending radius of FFC cable.
3. FFC cables shall be laid loose and side by side in the drag chain, arranged separately as far as possible, separated by spacers or penetrated into the separation cavity of the bracket blank. In the drag chain, the space between FFC cables shall be at least 10% of the diameter of FFC cables
4. FFC cables in the drag chain shall not touch each other or be trapped together.
5、 The two points of the FFC cable must be fixed, or at least at the moving end of the chain. Generally, the moving point of FFC cable should be 20-30 times of the diameter of FFC cable.
6. Please make sure that the FFC cable is completely moved within the bending radius, that is, it cannot be forced to move. In this way, FFC cable can be moved between each other or between FFC cable and guide device. After a period of operation, check the position of FFC cable. The inspection shall be carried out after push-pull movement.
7. If the drag chain breaks, its FFC cable also needs to be replaced, because the damage caused by over stretching cannot be avoided.
