Tech up, Cost down with chainflex® cables

igus supplies electrically identical cables with mechanically different qualities in the different cable areas. You can therefore achieve the optimum price/performance ratio for yourself. An example of control cables with a core cross section of 4x0.5mm²:

CF880 control cable, bend radius 12.5xd and PVC outer jacket, very cost-effective solution
Control cable CF5, smaller bend radius 6.8 xd with PVC outer jacket and oil resistance: greater technical advantage leads to slightly higher price per metre
CF98 oil- and bio-oil-resistant cable with TPE jacket and a bend radius of only 4xd: greatest technical advantage and highest price

Price check and guarantee directly from the manufacturer: selection of 1,350 cables with a 36-month guarantee.

With the chainflex price check, the right cable for your needs can be found very quickly. There is every electrical specification in 7 cable qualities. The choice is yours: cost-effective price or cable for high technical requirements. You can choose the right product for you from the graded listing. Whatever option you go for, we give you a 36-month guarantee on your cable.

∎ Proof

Directly from practical applications:

Here, you can independently find out how to save costs on cables with our online service life calculator in just 4 minutes – and obtain a 3-year guarantee.

In our service life calculator, you can immediately and independently determine the right service life and price for your application. In this online tutorial, we explain where it is possible to save costs quickly and efficiently. You are shown how to independently and reliably choose cables with the best price/performance ratio as early as the design phase.

Here are three concrete ways for you to quickly achieve success:

Example 1: Choosing cost-effective PVC instead of PUR

As jacket material, PUR has some very important advantages in some areas but not in all. Our goal is to enable you to objectively decide whether a cable with a PVC jacket is not only sufficient but also perhaps the better solution.

Example 2: Correctly defining the volume of data in the case of Ethernet cables

An Ethernet cable of the highest possible category is often chosen. However, this frequently means a high price and is not always necessary from a technical point of view. With this session, we want to convey the idea that selecting the right data transmission volume can be a good way of saving money on cables.

Example 3: Using individual wires instead of large motor cables

In various contexts, using individual wires for motors has led to a considerable increase in cable service life. Moreover, cable costs have often been reduced significantly. In this session, we would like to make this knowledge much more widely available and show some clear solutions in this regard.
