igus has released the chainflex cable CF33.UL, made especially for cables in energy chains and cable trays.

CF33.UL is the first motor cable for energy chains and cable trays with UL approval and a four-year functional guarantee in the energy chain.

“With the new motor cable, we are offering our customers a cable type that is suitable for both chains and cable trays. A plug connection is no longer necessary,” igus chainflex vice president and head of cables business unit Rainer Rössel says.

“We also rely on the service life guarantee for our new motor cable. We provide our customers with tested and certified safety.”

The chainflex cable CF33.UL can be laid seamlessly from the energy chain to the cable tray without a plug connection in between. The CF33.UL also adds a shielded PVC motor cable to the chainflex range.

igus puts its cables through their paces in its 3,800m² laboratory, using the data from the laboratory for its online tools, such as the chainflex service life calculator and allowing customers to determine the cables’ durability in their applications online.
