DIMENSIONS
In modern ports and container terminals, high-speed container cranes are the backbone of efficient cargo handling. Among the critical components that ensure smooth and safe crane operation, the control cable stands out. The YSLTOE-J 300/500V High-Speed Container Crane Control Cable is specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of gravity-feed collector baskets in modern crane systems. But what makes it unique, and why should port operators in Indonesia consider it over other cables?
What Is the YSLTOE-J 300/500V Cable?
The YSLTOE-J cable is a highly flexible control cable engineered for high-speed container cranes. Unlike standard control cables, it is designed to withstand high mechanical stress, torsion, and dynamic loads associated with fast-moving collector baskets. Its key features include:
Voltage Rating: 300/500V
Test Voltage: 2 kV
Maximum Tensile Load: 13,000 N/mm²
Temperature Range: Flexing from -20°C to +60°C
Maximum Short-Circuit Temperature: 150°C
Maximum Working Speed: 160 m/min
With its combination of flexibility, durability, and halogen-free polyurethane (PUR) outer sheath, it is well-suited for demanding port environments where operational reliability is critical.
What Makes the YSLTOE-J Cable Suitable for Container Crane Applications?
The YSLTOE-J cable is specifically designed for high-speed gravity-feed collector baskets. Key operational benefits include:
Counterclockwise Installation: Reduces torsional stress, preventing premature wear.
Diameter Consideration: Basket diameter must exceed 30x the cable's overall diameter to ensure smooth movement.
High Flexibility: Handles speeds up to 160 m/min without compromising conductor integrity.
Durable Construction: Kevlar reinforcement and halogen-free PUR sheath protect against abrasion, chemicals, and environmental stress.
Temperature Tolerance: Operates in flexing conditions from -20°C to +60°C, with an optional -40°C version for colder regions.
These characteristics make it particularly effective in Indonesian container terminals, where high-speed operations and tropical weather conditions demand robust performance.
How Does YSLTOE-J Compare with Other Crane Control Cables?
A direct comparison highlights why the YSLTOE-J stands out:
Feature | YSLTOE-J 300/500V | Standard Control Cable | High-Speed Alternative Cable |
|---|---|---|---|
Voltage Rating | 300/500V | 300/500V | 300/500V |
Max Working Speed | 160 m/min | 100 m/min | 140 m/min |
Tensile Load | 13,000 N/mm² | 8,000 N/mm² | 10,000 N/mm² |
Flexing Range | -20°C to +60°C | 0°C to +50°C | -10°C to +60°C |
Outer Sheath | Halogen-Free PUR | PVC | PUR (non-halogen) |
Reinforcement | Kevlar | None | Aramid fibers |
Flame Resistance | IEC 60332-1-2 | IEC 60332-1-2 | IEC 60332-1-2 |
The table shows that YSLTOE-J offers superior mechanical strength, flexing range, and high-speed capability, making it an optimal choice for modern container crane operations.
What Are the Common Questions About YSLTOE-J Cable?
Can YSLTOE-J Handle Extreme Temperatures?
Yes, the cable is rated for flexing from -20°C to +60°C, with a short-circuit temperature tolerance of 150°C. For extremely cold environments, a -40°C version is available.
What Makes YSLTOE-J Flexible Yet Strong?
The combination of a Kevlar-reinforced central support and finely stranded copper conductors allows the cable to flex at high speeds while withstanding tensile forces up to 13,000 N/mm².
Is YSLTOE-J Safe in Case of Fire?
Yes. Its halogen-free PUR sheath ensures low smoke emission and no toxic gases, enhancing safety in port environments.
How Does YSLTOE-J Perform in Reeling Applications?
With proper bending radii and counterclockwise installation, the cable can handle high-speed reeling without mechanical fatigue.
What Are the Typical Failures, and How Can They Be Prevented?
Common issues include torsion-induced damage and abrasion. Prevention involves correct installation, regular inspection, and avoiding bending beyond minimum radii.
Can You See YSLTOE-J in Action in Indonesia?
Case Study: Tanjung Priok Port, Jakarta
In 2023, several high-speed container cranes were retrofitted with YSLTOE-J cables to handle increasing cargo throughput. Operators reported:
Reduced downtime due to mechanical failures
Smooth operation at speeds of 150 m/min
