The Igus chainflex cables from igus are designed with one message in mind, “cost down, life up”. With our TPE jacket material, we provide products that can cope with highly demanding applications adopting very high abrasion resistance whilst providing excellent protection levels when faced with harsh chemical and oil-based environments. Our patented bundle design ensures small bend radius figures which make chainflex cables ideal for use in echain (cable carrier), flexible and fixed applications.

Small bend radii, ideal for space saving installation
Patented core bundled design to ensure long lasting lifetime in dynamic applications
Oil resistant Class 4 which supports almost unlimited oil + bio-oil resistance
Low angled braided screen optimised for use in continuous flexing applications
300/500v rated for use in control cable applications
Wide temperature ranges from -55°c to +100°c depending on application type
Guaranteed service life for use in echains, minimise risk of unplanned downtime
Long travel rated for reliable use up to 400m in echains®

Screened control cables are used in a wide variety of applications where EMC/EMI/Cross talk provide issues. Core sizing ranges from 0.25mm²-2.5mm², with core identification using DIN 47100 colour coding or with black cores, white numerals + earth (GY) depending on the size of core required. CF6 is designed for heavy duty applications where the influence of oils is relatively light. Preferably for use on indoor applications or for outdoor applications at above freezing temperatures. Typical application areas include

Medium UV resistance.
Oil-resistant (following DIN EN 50363-4-1).
Flame Retardant according to IEC 60332-1-2, CEI 20-35, FT1, VW1.
Silicone-free following PV 3.10.7 – status 1992.
UL/CSA style 10492. 2570 and 11113.
NFPA following NFPA 79-2018, chapter 12.9.
ROHS-II (Lead-free) following 2011/65/EC.
Clean room according to ISO Class 2.
CE following 2014/35/EU.
