chainflex® Product Manager Nils Jäger on the 7 basic rules for energy chain® compatible chainflex® cables

 

Unique

Optimized structure for the use in energy chains®

 

1

Center element for high tensile stresses

To stabilize the composite stranding inside the cable and thereby prevent corkscrewing and core breakages.
2

Optimized copper litz wire

To prevent core breakages and thereby create durability in continuous movement, even for small bending radii in the energy supply chain.
3

Core insulation

Only top value, pressure-extruded PVC or TPE. Materials that have stood the test of time in millions of core kilometers are used in energy chain® applications.
4

Braiding in bundles

Strengthening of the core braid, relief of the cores in the radius from low tensile/pressure stressing and thereby prevention of corkscrewing and core breakages.
5

Gusset-filling extruded inner jacket

Support of the composite stranding outside and thereby prevent corkscrewing and core breakages.
6

Total shield with optimized shield braiding

Prevention of shield breakage and thereby significant increase and/or safeguarding of the EMC features of a cable.
7

Highly abrasion-resistant, with pressure extruded outer jacket

Support of the shield braiding, less abrasion in the energy chain® and thereby demonstrably longer service life, even in highly dynamic applications.

Tested

All chainflex® cables have been tested for durability in our large test lab with a floor space of over 2,750 m2. This also enables us to supply you with information on the service life of a cable in its application. Send us a query or use our service life calculator on the internet.
