Chainflex cables are well-suited for demanding flexing applications in which a robust energy supply is critical. The cable construction relies on bundled, rather than layered conductors. The wires are twisted with a special pitch length and the resulting conductors are cabled into bundles. For large cross sections, this is done around a strain relief element. The conductor bundles are then cabled around a tension-proof center. Chainflex continuous-flex cables are available in more than 600 sizes and styles. The line range from power and control cables to air hoses, data cables, servo cables and fiber optic cables.
