Core Green Technologies: Where Sustainability Meets Performance

1. Eco-Certified Cable Systems

Yangyu integrates specialized flat cables with recycled materials and low-toxicity components:

  • *YGKFB High-Voltage Flat Cables**:

    • Reinforced with recycled steel wires (2G design) for 50% higher tensile strength

    • PVC-free insulation using halogen-free polymers (70% reduced carbon footprint)

    • Temperature resilience: -40°C to +85°C operational range

  • SCYY Drag Chain Cables:

    • Cold-flexible (-35°C) oil-resistant sheathing from 85% recycled PVC

    • Aramid fiber tension members replacing steel wires (lighter weight = 18% less energy use)

2. Energy-Recovery Drive Systems
