igus CF270.UL.D single-core bending-resistant cable

The CF270.UL.D single-core bending-resistant cable, made of fine strands, has been developed for flexible operation in energy chains used in machine tools. This is a space-saving alternative to the usual space-consuming four-wire servo cables for such applications.

Spindle drives are becoming larger and more efficient in case of machining centres and machine tools. To guide such higher-energy streams, larger conductor cross-sections are required. The consequence is that servo cables are becoming thicker and thicker so that the radius of the energy chain goes beyond the permissible space of the machine tool.

The shielded single-core cable from igus has been designed as a spindle cable, meaning it is much thinner and suitable for use in an energy chain with a small radius in a machine tool.

In accordance with the requirements for energy chains, the outer jacket is made of an adhesion-poor PUR material making it oil resistant and notch resistant, as well as halogen free and usable in deep-temperature applications.

The spindle cable CF270.UL.D is available in six different conductor nominal cross-sections, outside diameters and copper numbers.
