When do I use this
igus® strain relief system:  
Standard for high
accelerations,
loads and
demanding
applications.
In many cables,
large cable Ø,
cables on top of each other.
For long travels,
cranes, offshore,
machine tools, high
speeds,
hydraulic cables.
When modularity
is required.  
Standard for many
applications
with medium
accelerations. In
unsupported, gliding,
hanging und standing
applications in general
machine and
machine tools construction.
For side by side cables.
Can be also used as individual part, e.g.
for switch cabinets or the like

When do I use this
igus® strain relief system:  
Low-priced, space-saving
strain relief for many
applications with
medium accelerations.
For cables on top of each other
or cables with the same
diameters.  
 Low-priced, quick
strain relief for simpler
application with little
space requirement at medium
accelerations. Can be also
used as individual part for rigid
laying like in
switch cabinets or the like

When do I use this
igus® strain relief system:  
 Combination of separator
and strain relief, ideal for
little space requirement. For
applications with medium
accelerations. For
smaller cable Ø. Ideal for
e-tubes.
For machine tools
and automation.  
Space-saving, modular
strain relief with many
cables in confined spaces.
For applications with
high accelerations
and loads, e.g.
machine tools.
