Reducing design space with igus Chainflex cabling Chainflex CF11 and CF211 cables with up to 30 percent smaller bending radii

The tests, which paid special attention to the cable shield, core pitch lengths and the individual strand size of the core wires, confirmed that the cables survived more than 30 million double strokes, or 36,691 km travel, in the energy chain with a test radius of 5xd.

The high-tech Chainflex CF11 data cable has an abrasion-proof and bend-resistant, halogen-free, oil and bio-oil-resistant TPE outer jacket and an inner jacket that is also made of a TPE compound. The cable has extremely stable braiding: two cores each stranded in pairs with short pitch lengths, core pairs also stranded with short pitch lengths – this ensures maximum EMC protection and high data transmission qualities are maintained during the working life of the cable even with bending radii reduced by thirty percent. Similar properties are confirmed for the CF211 series, a low-cost PVC version this is oil-resistant and flame-retardant with a bend-resistant tin-plated braided copper shield (coverage approx. 70% linear, 90% optical).

Like all other igus cables, the two data cables are available now ex-stock within 24 hours or the same day, without cutting costs or requiring a minimum order quantity.
