igus® offers electrically identical cables with mechanically different qualities in the various cable areas. This allows you to achieve the optimum price-performance ratio for you. An example of a control cable with a core cross section of 4x0.5 mm²:

control cable CF880, bend radius 12.5 x d and PVC-outer jacket: very favourable solution
control cable CF5, smaller bend radius 6.8 x d with PVC-outer jacket and oil resistance: greater technical advantage leads to slightly higher price per metre
Oil/bio-oil resistant control cable CF98 cable with TPE jacket and a bend radius of only 4 x d: greatest technical advantage at the highest price

Price check and guarantee direct from the manufacturer: a selection of 1,350 cables with a 4-year guarantee.

With the chainflex® price check, you can quickly find the right cable for your needs. Each electrical specification is available in 7 cable qualities. You have the choice: favourable price or the cable for high technical requirements. You can choose the right product for you in gradations. Whatever you choose, we give a 4-year guarantee on your cable.

∎ Evidence

And here are three concrete approaches for you to realise success quickly:

Example 1: Choosing cost-effective PVC instead of PUR

As jacket material, PUR has some very important advantages in some areas but not in all. Our goal is to enable you to objectively decide whether a cable with a PVC jacket is not only sufficient but also perhaps the better solution.

Example 2: Correctly defining the volume of data in the case of Ethernet cables

An Ethernet cable of the highest possible category is often chosen. However, this frequently means a high price and is not always necessary from a technical point of view. With this session, we want to convey the idea that selecting the right data transmission volume can be a good way of saving money on cables.

Example 3: Using individual wires instead of large motor cables

In various contexts, using individual wires for motors has led to a considerable increase in cable service life. Moreover, cable costs have often been reduced significantly. In this session, we would like to make this knowledge much more widely available and show some clear solutions in this regard.
