Silicone Cable for
Textile Machinery
Wiring for textile machines.
For machine interconnections and heat-exposed wiring, we start from YGG silicone-sheathed cable: tinned-copper cores under a silicone sheath, up to 20 cores, rated −60 °C (−76°F) to +180 °C (356°F) continuous and +200 °C (392°F) short-term.
AT A GLANCE
Textile machine wiring at a glance
Each textile-machine connection and the silicone cable we start from.
| Connection | Cable construction | Key point |
|---|---|---|
| Machine interconnections | YGG silicone-sheathed cable | 2 × 0.14 mm² to 5 × 10 mm², up to 20 cores |
| Heat-exposed wiring | YGG silicone-sheathed cable | +180 °C (356°F) continuous; +200 °C (392°F) short-term |
| Moving machine parts | Separate motion specification | YGG allows occasional movement only, without pulling force |
CONNECTION TASKS
Textile machine wiring
YGG is a silicone-sheathed cable for machine power and control connections, with fixed installation or occasional movement without pulling force.
THERMAL REVIEW
Heat-exposed wiring
For a connection near heated equipment, state temperature at the cable route, exposure duration and available ventilation.
Confirmed with your quotation
MOTION REVIEW
Moving machine parts
Provide travel, bending and repetition requirements. Treat frequently moving connections separately from fixed equipment wiring.
Motion test required
SELECTION CHECKS
Operating conditions to specify
Include these conditions with your enquiry so we can select the right cable.
Process location
The machine, its installation section and the conditions at the actual cable position define the requirement.
Materials & exposure
Contact with liquids, cleaning products or process materials decides the compatibility review.
Movement & routing
Whether the cable is fixed, occasionally repositioned or continuously moving decides the construction.

APPLICATION LIMITS
Heat, movement & maintenance
A general equipment cable is not suitable for every textile-machine function.
- Fixed connections
- Circuit drawing, core arrangement and installation space.
- Heat-exposed sections
- Local temperature, duration and enclosure ventilation.
- Moving connections
- Motion profile and the test the cable must pass.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Frequently asked questions
Is YGG suitable for every position on a textile machine?
YGG is specified for fixed installation or occasional movement without pulling force, not continuous cable-carrier motion.
Can the same cable be used in a continually moving carrier?
Not as standard. YGG is designed for fixed installation and occasional movement without pulling force.
Which sheath colours are available for YGG?
Black (RAL 9005), blue (RAL 5005), grey (RAL 7001) and red (RAL 3000). Other colours are made to order.
