RVVY Oil-Resistant Flexible Cable

Close-up of a multi-conductor electrical cable with the outer insulation partially stripped to show the internal wires.

Description:

  • RVVY is an oil-resistant, flexible, multi-core PVC-insulated and sheathed control cable designed for use in industrial environments with occasional bending and movement.

  • It is suitable for installation in dry or damp indoor locations, where the cable may be subject to occasional motion without tensile stress or forced guidance, such as in machine tools, woodworking machines, grinders, and similar industrial equipment.

  • The cable offers excellent resistance to oil, water, cold, and flames, providing enhanced mechanical durability and a longer service life than ordinary installation wires.
    It is not intended for continuous drag chain applications.

  • Complies with IEC 227-7:1995 / GB 5023.7-2008, with oil resistance tested per ASTM standards and material performance evaluated according to GB/T 2951.5.

Applications:

  • Used for signal transmission, control, and power connection in industrial machinery, manufacturing lines, and workshop environments exposed to oil or lubricants.

  • Suitable for machine tools, woodworking, grinding, and processing equipment operating in oily or humid conditions.

  • Designed for fixed installation or light-duty flexible use with occasional movement.
