igus chainflex® PVC control cable

chainflex® cables from igus are designed with one message in mind, “cost down, life up”

With our PVC jacket material, we provide products that can cope with highly demanding applications adopting very high abrasion resistance, but with a cost optimised outer jacket material for environments where the influence of oils or chemicals is lower. Our patented bundle design ensures small bend radius figures which make chainflex® cables ideal for use in echain® (cable carrier), flexible and fixed applications

Unscreened control cables are used in a wide variety of applications where EMC/EMI/Cross talk is not an issue. 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.

CF5 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

storage and retrieval units, high-bay warehousing, machining units, packaging machines, quick handling, indoor cranes.
