Chainflex cables cut assmebly time by 30%

igus has expanded and improved its chainflex CF211 and CF111.D series of measuring cables for dynamic equipment applications. The cables feature an enhanced core and shield structure that offers a much longer service life and makes them easier to install, reducing assembly times by as much as 30%.

Specifically designed for use in analogue and digital measuring systems, such as DRIVE-CLiQ, igus offers the CF211.028, CF111.028.D and CF113.028.D - each representing a different level of mechanical properties. The CF211 has a PVC outer jacket, which allows a range of operating temperatures from -5 to +70 degC; it is well-suited to applications in warehouse storage and handling systems, processing tools and packaging machines. The CF111.D features a halogen-free, flame-resistant PUR outer jacket; this cable is specially designed for short travel applications. At the high-end, the CF113.D boasts a PUR inner jacket and an extremely bend resistant braiding of tinned copper wires with an optical coverage of 90%; this cable structure is ideal for use in fast, handling, clean room and low temperature applications down to -20oC.
