7 basic rules for a good cable for use in e-chains®
The tricks and ingenious features of the chainflex® design… and why we feel so confident about this design
chainflex® lasts ... in dynamic applications ...
4. stranding with short pitch length
2. optimized strand wire
1. strain-relieving centre element
3. high-quality core insulation
5. gusset-filled extruded inner jacket
6. shielding with optimized shield braiding angle
7. abrasion-resistant outer jacket, pressure extruded
In over 2 billion test cycles per year in igus® own chain-flex® test lab (1750 m²) we have been gaining a unique level of knowledge of cables in the area of e-chains®. This is what our rules for extremely long-lasting cables are based on.
chainflex® is uniqueFrom the customer‘s point of view, a flexible energy supply system only needs to function properly. How-ever, this demand presupposes the perfect operation of all components, including the cables being used in this system. And this is exactly where problems came up in the early 1980s. In extreme cases, failures caused by „corkscrews“ and core ruptures brought the entire production pro-cess to a standstill and resulted in high costsigus® was the first company to develop complete e-chainsystems®. chainflex® cables and e-chains® are tested and optimized in conjunction. Based on the increasing know-how gained since 1989 and on the very sophisticated series of tests that have been conducted since then, design principles were and are still being created that help prevent machine downtimes in factories throughout the world today.
chainflex® are the special cables for energy chain systems®
More sophisticated applications with high number of cycles, speeds and accelerations, as well as adver-se environmental conditions require reliable cables in the energy supply system. A high EMC safety and the compliance of standards and regulations such as UL, CSA or VDE is necessary.A reliable function of bus properties in the area of Pro-fibus, Profinet or Ethernet are required.. Ultimately, our customers expect a consistent res-ponse to different forms of movement, because they require the same electrical characteristics in both long linear chains and small torsional movements.It is our mission to guarantee this worldwide and non-stop

The managing data show the results of the accomplished examinations. With all data it still acts neither around one or more warranties of certain characteristics around one or more warranties regarding the suitability of a product for a certain targeted application, since the examinations on laboratory conditions took place. The warranty of certain characteristics of the products and/or their suitability for a certain application requires writing in the confirmation of order. Finally we recommend user-specific measurements under genuine operating conditions.
