Igus chainflex series CF298 and CF299 cables

The igus chainflex series CF298 and CF299 cables are particularly suitable for confined spaces.

Dynamic applications with small bend radii can quickly allow the copper cores of conventional cables to meet their mechanical stress limits. The CF298 (unshielded) and the CF299 (shielded) cables have been tested intensively and have qualified for small bend radii down to 4xd in continuous motion. This is made possible by the combination of a high-performance alloy conductor material and a flexible igus TPE outer jacket, which prevents cracks and breaks. The jacket material additionally offers high abrasion resistance in combination with energy chains from igus.

The data cables are suitable for short, quick movements, eg, in pick-and-place machines or other fast handling applications. They are also suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications due to their resistance to UV, low temperature and oil. As the cables are certified to ISO Class 1, they can be used in cleanrooms.

The cables are designed for up to 40 million double strokes in e-chains. As a result, igus guarantees a life of 36 months, as for all chainflex cables. The CF298 and CF299 are available with various number of cores and conductor nominal cross-sections.
