readycable® harnessed cables are ready-to-connect cables for use in energy chains®. As manufacturer and harnesser, igus® provides everything from a single source, thus reducing throughput times and the number of suppliers. The portfolio includes an extensive range of catalogue products, including cables harnessed according to manufacturers' standards and diverse industrial standards as well as individual singly or series produced components. Numerous types of cable of different qualities, with different approvals and with different certifications of conformity are available to choose from. All components are subjected to extensive quality checks and functional tests.

Strain relief from igus® is specifically developed for use in e-chains® and dynamic applications. Thecombination of polymer strain relief components and chainflex® cable materials offers maximum holding force and very high service life for the cables. For a wide variety of applications, igus® offers the best solution with respect to cost and benefits; from the CFXL strain relief for long travels in harsh environments, or the new CFU honeycomb strain relief for fast assembly to the CFN chainfix nuggets for simple and inexpensive strain relief. igus® chainfix strain relief components have been successfully used in thousands of applications around the world for years.

Initiator cables, also referred to as sensor/actuator cables, connect control units and different sensors, or, in the case of reversal of the measurement principle, actuators. Frequently used abbreviations include ini or ini cable (plural: inis). Sensor or measurement transducers transform physical quantities such as rotation, speed, distance or length into analogue electric impulses. In the case of an actuator, the measured electric current (symbol: I, unit: ampere; A) or voltage (symbol: U, unit: volt; V) is transformed into temperature, pressure or torque. The connection cable consists of at least three cores with a small cross-section of between 0.14mm² and 0.34mm². In the simplest case, two cores are required for supplying the voltage, while the last core transmits an I/O signal. For sensitive applications, there are shielded versions in addition to the traditional ini cables to avoid EMC disruptions (electromagnetic compatibility).

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
