Product Details Supplier Info More products

Igus UK has expanded its Chainflex cable range with 230 types. They are available with the company’s CFRIP cable-stripping technology.

Chainflex CFRIP cables feature an integrated cord contained within either the inner or outer jacket (depending on which type is specified). When pulled, the cord tears open the cable jacket like a zipper, with no need for extra stripping tools.

CFRIP cables are suitable for a variety of high-load applications and are available from stock in 24 hours.

Key benefits

Electrical engineers have more choice and can reduce the time it takes to strip back long lengths of a variety of cables by up to 50 per cent, saving costs associated with installation.
The cables are tested in real-world applications and environments.
Even after millions of cycles in daily operation, the integrated strip will not damage the outer jacket or cores.

Energy chains are the umbilical cord of modern machines. They minimise downtime and protect, support and extend the service life of cables and hoses. The broad range incorporates more than 30,000 innovative, low-cost products. From the smallest ‘micro’ chain to the largest chain in the world, the E4.350, Igus energy chains are capable of long and short travel distances at high speeds in all axes.

Igus also has its own cable series, Chainflex, specially designed with energy chains in mind. They are highly flexible cables, offering a long service life and very small bending radii. A wide range is available, from small signal cables to large power cables, high-speed data cables and glass fibre-optic cables.

The company’s energy chains and Chainlflex cables can be delivered as a fully harnessed and pre-assembled Readychain system, cutting purchasing, warehousing and installation costs.
