Save installation space and gain design freedom with chainflex® control cables


Absolutely cost-efficient control cables with up to 20% smaller outer diameter and reduced bend radius

The cables were not optimised for small bend radii but are thinner and can therefore be used in smaller radii. And yet tested as always in the chainflex laboratory and with 36-month guarantee.

This reduction in installation space was achieved by changing from PVC core insulation to TPE core insulation. This design feature not only saves the installation space in the chain, but also reduces the radius of the e-chain with the same bending factor. This new generation of chainflex control cables is therefore particularly suitable for applications such as in wood/stone processing or in machine tool construction.

Why chainflex®? Because our control cables reduce costs & improve technology

chainflex price check for control cables

Electrotechnically equivalent energy chain cables with core cross section of 4x1.5mm²
 

  • Control cable CF880, bend radius 12.5xd and PVC outer jacket: low-cost version
  • 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
  • Control cable CF98, cable resistant to oil/organic oil, with TPE outer jacket and a bend radius of only 4xd: higher price due to greater technical advantage

Benefit from our variety of cables. From low-cost solutions with PVC outer jacket to high-end TPE cables. Everything in line with our motto: Cost down, life up!
