igus recently presented its new CF29 servo cable series – one of several new high-end cable families for continuous motion in e-chains with an outer jacket made of halogen-free TPE. This product range extension offers completely new possibilities for energy supply to drives, for users with very tough requirements such as ambient temperatures or small installation space as per the company claims.

Even more choices – guaranteed to last
The company claims that all cables were successfully tested in a climatic test chamber with real-world mechanical loads and temperatures, within the 2,750-square-metre-large test laboratory at igus. This allows the cable manufacturer to guarantee a service life of 36 months for all cables. The chainflex service life calculator (www.igus.com/chainflex_servicelifecalculator) helps users to make the ideal selection, and gives them the expected service life of each cable in double strokes after entering the respective application parameters, claims the company. This allows customers to choose the cable that works reliably in their applications – without having to spend too much.
