Energy chain design reduces cable wear
"Auto-glide" bridges made of tribologically optimised plastic that go easy on cables and a special groove system provide a safe guide for the P4 energy chain.
Igus offers an extensive choice of cables, in more than 500 sizes and styles.
The new CF130.UL/CF140.UL PVC control cables have a unique design.
They are bundle-stranded around a highly tensile cord to prevent cork-screwing and core rupture, even when the cable is exposed to high bending radii.
In constantly moving, long travel energy chain system applications, this multistranded structure provides a high degree of safety and reliability.
Typical applications include packaging, handling and automation systems, cutting and welding systems and woodworking machinery.
The Igus range of Chainflex cables incorporates control, power, Ethernet, fibre-optic, signal, bus and servo cables.
Each cable has been developed to deliver superior flexibility and extended service life.
Applications demanding small bending radii and a continuous operation are ideal for Chainflex cables.
Chainflex CF130.UL/CF140.UL bundle-stranded cables are now available ex stock, without any cutting costs or charges for reduced quantity orders. Request a free brochure from Igus UK ...
