chainflex® "class"(ification)
To make the choice easier for you, we have classified all Chainflex®-cables after the criteria "requirements, oil-resistance and travel distance". The higher the
number is, the better is the cable; vice versa, the lower the number is, the lower is the cable price.
Example:You are looking for a cable which resists highest mechanical requirements. In addition, the cable is also designed to meet
the oil-resistance requirements according to DIN EN 60811-2-1, DIN EN 50363-10-2. In unsupported and gliding applications, the cable is
designed for a travel of up to 100 m.
The classification overview is used to select between:
Requirements: 6
Travel distance: 5
Resistance to oil: 3
This results in the rating of the cable – "Class 6.5.3" in this case – which you can also find in the respective product pages.
