Flexible cable - for special requirements

With chainflex®, igus® offers a very wide variety of flexible cables for different applications and external conditions. Depending on the requirements, you can choose between different abrasion-resistant sheath materials . Depending on the ambient temperature, contact with oils or chemicals, the sheath materials PVC, PUR and TPE are available.

The guaranteed service life under the respective conditions is determined by tests in the 2,750 m² in-house test laboratory and tested as part of continuous trials. chainflex® cables undergo a very complex series of tests at different speeds, including in the specially equipped climatic containers. Here, for example, cable tests are carried out in continuous motion at -40 degrees Celsius. Thanks to almost 400 million tested strokes, igus® cables can therefore be categorised according to one of three reliable criteria: "permanently installed according to DIN", "moved according to DIN" and "according to igus® test series under real conditions".
