Test setup: CF880 control cable

Test number:4588
Cable type:CF880.10.12
Cable type:Control cable
Bend radius:100mm (factor 9.3 x d)
Service life:more than 10 million strokes
Control cable CF880.10.12

In this test, service life expectancy CF880.10.12 in a linear chain with a 100mm radius should be investigated.

A control panel for a saw or other woodworking machine always sounds like a simple application. In principle, it is, but reliability is of paramount importance here because it influences all machine functions. Radii are often large, and in the area of wood or other building materials, the CF880's PVC jacket with its good abrasion properties for avoiding dry dust performs very well. Such systems are often installed worldwide, so a UL approval as well as a reliable service life is required. 

With a test result of over 10 million double strokes, it was possible to confirm that even a cost-effective cable is reliable.
