igus Chainflex cable carrier

The igus Chainflex cable range with GL certification is approved for use in offshore and mining applications.

The Chainflex (350 mm interior link height) was specifically developed for the most demanding applications where electrical cables and large hydraulic hoses must be guided and protected on mission-critical equipment.

With attributes such as its high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to grease, oil, sea water, dirt, other debris, sun and temperature, it is a suitable alternative to traditional heavy-duty steel carriers.

This addition to the E4 range of heavy-duty plastic cable carriers combines the features and benefits of its predecessors in the E4 range, such as low noise, modularity, and ruggedness into the “All for One” energy chain.

The new-generation cable management system offers design improvements such as a 33% increase in the unsupported span capabilities of the energy chain and a 133% increase in tensile strength.

Other performance enhancements such as enlarged wear surfaces for extending life, noise-dampening features and accessories including the Push Pull Detection System (PPDS), which monitors forces on the chain during operation, offer a complete solution for machine builders.
