What are the limits to bend radius’ on chainflex® cables?

For cable carriers, also called e-chains® or energy chains, the minimum bend radius must be greater than that of the cable so that cable safety is maintained. Energy chain manufacturers offer different bend radiuses to allow customers to correctly match them to their cables. The bend radius of the e-chain® should be greater than the largest radius requirements of the cables inside – this can be obtained by multiplying (bending factor x overall diameter (OD)).

Let’s talk about igus® 3D printing techniques

In our 3800m² test laboratory, all igus® products are put through their paces to ensure that safety, predictability and function are all the best they can be for each application.
For the 3D printed parts, we test wear, strength and friction rates under varying parameters.

Introducing the 36-month guarantee energy chains

Everyone needs reassurance at times. igus® are now able to offer a 36 month guarantee on not only our chainflex® cables but also our e-chains®. If it breaks in less than 36 months, we will replace it free of charge.

igus® says YES!

For a long time at igus® we have supported the development of up-and-coming members of our team. An initiative to support these students and their education facilities saw the birth of the YES programme.
