chainflex® cables from igus are designed with one message in mind, cost down, life up
With our PUR jacket material, we provide products that can cope with highly demanding applications adopting very high abrasion resistance whilst providing excellent protection levels when faced with harsh chemical and oil-based environments. Our patented bundle design ensures small bend radius figures which make chainflex® cables ideal for use in echain® (cable carrier), flexible and fixed applications.
Bus cables are used to ensure the safe and reliable data transmission between to electrical devices that support the dedicated Bus protocol (Ethernet, CAN-bus, Profibus/Profinet etc). Core configurations vary and are designed to conform to each Bus protocol including materials, sizing, colour coding and electrical properties and has guaranteed electrical and mechanical performance when used in accordance with the associated Guaranteed service life table.
CFBUS.PUR is designed for heavy duty applications supported by its almost unlimited resistance to oil. Ideal for use on indoor and outdoor applications, supported by a working temperature range from -50°C to up +80°C. Typical application areas include
Machining units/machine tools, automatic doors, very quick handling, low temperature applications.
