Product Overview

The Flexible Hook-Up/Machine-Tool (MTW) Wire is a high-performance, UL-certified cable designed for internal wiring of electrical equipment, control panels, industrial machinery, and grounding applications. Featuring flexible stranded copper conductors and durable PVC insulation, this wire excels in dynamic environments requiring repeated bending, vibration resistance, and reliable connectivity. Compliant with UL 83 (THHW) and UL 1063 (MTW) standards, it is ideal for dry, wet, or oil-exposed industrial settings.

Key Features:

  • Temperature Rating: 90°C (dry), 75°C (wet), 60°C (wet/oil).

  • Conductor: Highly flexible stranded bare copper for ease of installation.

  • Insulation: PVC for abrasion resistance and chemical stability.

  • Certifications: UL 83, UL 1063, RoHS compliant.

  • Customization: Available in all standard colors; striped options for 4/0 AWG and smaller.

Construction Details

  1. Conductor:

    • Material: High-purity bare copper strands for maximum conductivity and flexibility.

    • Stranding: Fine-stranded design resists fatigue in high-vibration applications.

  2. Insulation:

    • PVC: Flame-retardant, oil-resistant, and durable against abrasion and chemicals.

    • Color Coding: Phase identification via standard or custom-colored insulation.

  3. Optional Stripes:

    • Available for sizes 4/0 AWG and smaller to enhance circuit identification in complex panels.

Applications

  • Industrial Machinery: Internal wiring for CNC machines, lathes, and robotic systems.

  • Control Panels: Power and signal circuits in PLCs, switchgear, and automation cabinets.

  • Grounding Systems: Equipment grounding in manufacturing facilities.

  • Appliance Wiring: HVAC units, pumps, and compressors in wet or oily environments.

Compliance & Certifications

  • UL 83: Thermoplastic-insulated wires (THHW) for wet/dry locations.

  • UL 1063: Machine Tool Wire (MTW) for oil-resistant industrial use.

  • RoHS Compliance: Free of hazardous substances.

Engineering Advantages

  1. Flexibility: Fine-stranded copper withstands repeated bending without breakage.

  2. Durability: PVC insulation resists oil, moisture, and abrasion in harsh conditions.

  3. Safety: UL-certified for fire resistance and electrical safety.

  4. Customization: Striped insulation options streamline complex wiring projects.
