CHAINFLEX
Chainflex is a brand of continuous-flex cables engineered for use in cable carriers (energy chains) and other high-flexion applications. The product line is developed and manufactured by igus GmbH, a German company headquartered in Cologne, with a history dating to 1964. Chainflex cables are designed to meet the mechanical demands of automated machinery, robotics, material handling systems, and other equipment where cables must endure repeated bending, torsion, and linear motion. The brand covers a broad range of cable families, including control cables (e.g., CF10, CF78-UL, CF6, CF130-UL, CF2, CF9-UL series), servo motor power cables (e.g., CF280ULH series), and bus cables (e.g., CFBUS-PVC series for CAN-Bus systems). These cables are available in various conductor sizes (from 26 AWG to 14 AWG), conductor counts (from 1 pair to 36 conductors), jacket materials (PVC, PUR, TPR), and voltage ratings (300 V, 600 V, 1,000 V). Key technical specifications include minimum bend radius factors (typically 3× to 7× outer diameter for fixed installation, with dynamic ratings for continuous flexing), shielding options (e.g., shielded twisted pairs in servo cables), and compliance with standards such as CE, cRUus, VW-1, and DIN EN 50363-10-2. Chainflex cables are also tested for resistance to UV/sunlight, oils, and coolants, depending on jacket material. 3G Electric stocks over 1,435 Chainflex SKUs, offering order-by-the-foot or fixed-length options (e.g., 25 ft, 100 ft) to match project requirements. The distributor provides datasheets with detailed electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling engineers to select cables based on application-specific factors like travel length, acceleration, and ambient temperature. Logistics support includes global shipping from Singapore-based inventory, with quoting available for bulk or custom-length orders.
