igus reduces data cable bending radii

This upgrade has been made possible by special attention being given to the cable shield, core pitch lengths and the individual strand size of the core wires. Under text the cables survived more than 30 million double strokes, or 36,691 km travel, in the energy chain with a test radius of 5xd without any damage.

As a result, the permissible bending radius for the CF11 TPE cable has been able to be reduced by 32% from 10xd to 6.8xd, and that of the PVC variant CF211 by 25% from 10xd to 7.5xd.

The hi-tech CF11 data cable is particularly abrasion-proof and bend-resistant and has a halogen-free, oil and bio-oil-resistant TPE outer and inner jacket specially designed for the mechanical requirements in energy chains. The cable has extremely stable braiding: two cores each stranded in pairs with short pitch lengths, core pairs also stranded with short pitch lengths.
