unique - tested - lean

Our product managers will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the benefits of the highly flexible chainflex®cable.

Only

Optimised structure for energy chain use

1.high tensile strength centre element
to stabilise the stranding bond inside the cable and thus prevent corkscrew and wire breaks.

2. optimised copper strand
To prevent core breaks and thus ensure a long service life with continuous movement even with a small bend radius in the energy chain.

3. core insulation
Only the highest quality, high-pressure extruded PVC or TPE materials are used, which have proven themselves in millions of kilometres of cores in energy chain applications.

4.bundle stranding

Strengthening of the core stranding structure, relief of the core in the radius due to lower tensile-compressive stress and thus avoidance of corkscrew and core breaks.

5. gusset-filling extruded inner jacket
Support of the stranding composite from the outside and thus avoidance of corkscrew and core breaks.

6. overall shield with optimised Braided shield
Prevents shield breakage and thus significantly increases or ensures the electromagnetic compatibility specification of a cable.

7. highly abrasion-resistant outer jacket extruded under pressure
Support of the braided shield, less abrasion in the energy chain and thus demonstrably longer service life even in high dynamic applications.

7 basic rules for a good cable

Tested

All chainflex® cables have been tested for durability in our 2,750 m2 test laboratory. This also enables us to provide you with information on the service life of a cable in your application. Ask us or use our service life calculator on the Internet.
