Chainflex® CFKOAX coaxial cables are designed for very heavy duty applications and are almost unlimited resistance to oil, also with bio-oils. Because of its UV resistance, the cables can be used for indoor and outdoor applications. - Unsupported and gliding travel distances up to 400 m and more - Storage and retrieval units for high-bay warehouses, machining units/machine tools, quick handling, cleanroom, semiconductor insertion, indoor cranes, low-temperature applications - For extremely heavy duty applications - Outer jacket: TPE - Hydrolysis and microbe-resistant - Silicone-free - UV-resistant - Oil-resistant according to DIN EN 60811-404, resistant to organic oils according to VDMA 24568 with Plantocut 8 S-MB by DEA

The chainflex® bus cables are available for all well-known industrial bus systems such as Profibus, Interbus, Profinet, Ethernet, CAN-Bus, DeviceNet, ASi or CC link. Depending on the cable family, they can be used for torsion, for severe climatic conditions, for narrow radii, or particularly long travel distances, at high speeds and accelerations. Tested in the igus® laboratory with millions of cycles in e-chains®, they provide guaranteed safety against failure. -Bending radii up to 7,5xd -Jacket materials: PVC, iguPUR, PUR or TPE -For flexing applications -For medium duty applications -For extremely heavy duty applications -For twistable use -For heaviest duty applications in rail vehicles -For increased tensile load -Overall shield Flame retardant

chainflex® robot cables are used in energy chains or 3D applications. The twistable robot cables meet extremely high industrial stress requirements and score points with properties such as resistance to hydrolysis and microbes, UV resistance and many, many others. Different types of robot cable are available, e.g. hybrid cables, fibre optic cables (FOCs), motor cables and servo cables. Typical application areas: - For heavy duty applications - Almost unlimited resistance to oil - Indoor and outdoor applications with average solar radiation - Unsupported travel distances and up to 100 m for gliding applications - Machining centres / machine tools, storage and retrieval systems, packaging industry, handling, refrigerating

chainflex® special cables are cables for special applications such as hanging applications, for use in rail vehicles or thermal and compensation cables. Use our comprehensive knowledge about cable plus the experience of 2 billion test cycles that are annually realized in the company-owned chainflex® laboratory. The steadily growing product range of the chainflex® special cables is based on the requirements of our customers. igus® also manufactures cables for special applications and uses a wide range of materials and manufacturing processes. Depending on the design, customer-specific special products can be made from lengths of 500 m. We look forward to hear about your job definition!

chainflex® CF Air pneumatic hoses were tested in e-chains® for over several million bending cycles. Their outstanding features include flexibility, high abrasion resistance and very good resistance to oil and coolants. -For extremely heavy-duty applications -PU/PE hose -Oil- and coolant-resistant -Abrasion-resistant -Outside-toleranced -PVC and halogen-free

PMA cable protection systems are used wherever the mechanical protection of electrical lines and cables is needed. Highly flexible cable protection tubes are specifically suited for the additional protection of cable guides in e-chain® systems. Due to the combination of technical knowhow and the strictest international safety guidelines, PMA fulfils the worldwide requirements of industrial markets in application areas like mechanical engineering, automotive construction, fiber optics, solar systems as well as applications in the robot sector with high speeds and millions of alternate bending cycles.

E4Q energy chains have been developed to provide the best possible solution for unsupported and long travels. Based on the robust E4.1 energy chain standard, which has proven itself over 12 years, the new series brings a long service life and high modularity. - Tool-free opening and closing - Reduced protrusions in the interior, for easier filling when the e-chain® is open - 15 % more pull-out force of the opening webs compared to the E4.1 system - 10 % less weight due to material recesses compared to system E4.1 - Optional 17 dB(A) quieter due to noise-reducing parts made of material optimized for noise level - 40 % less installation time compared to system E4.1 - Up to 35 % savings possible when used in the limit range - 36 months warranty - Predictive maintenance - optional with the isense add-on module Typical applications: Machine tools, crane systems, automation systems

Lightning fast opening and closing with Zipper E-Chain® und E-Tubes - Zipper E-Chain® satisfy by their practicability and performance. The "zip fastening" function shortens the installation time. The small pitch, the rugged elastic zipper band and the heavy duty links amaze in high accelerations. The Zipper series is one of the most popular igus® E-Chain® series in the sophisticated industrial sectors.
