Cables offer a service life of 1 million double strokes

Covering all types of cables from control, motor, servo and measuring cables through to data and bus cables, the chainflex M range is also UL/CSA certified. Additionally, chainflex M cables have undergone the same demanding in-house tests as standard chainflex for wear, chemical resistance, and flexing performance in energy chains.

“Our current range of chainflex cables is guaranteed for 5 million double strokes in constantly moving energy chain applications, even with high speeds, accelerations and demanding environmental conditions,” says Justin Leonard, director at igus. “Our new chainflex M range is designed for less demanding applications where reliability is still important but the required cycle life is much lower”.

“All cable families in the chainflex M range cost 20 - 30 per cent less than the standard chainflex ranges we currently offer,” adds Leonard. “Made from innovative iguPUR (a highly oil and bend-resistant PUR material) or PVC, chainflex M cables are guaranteed to last one million cycles of service life, which is unique at this price point.”

With no cutting costs and no minimum order quantities, the new chainflex M provides the most cost-efficient solution for energy chain applications that do not require a very high cycle rate.
