Only real long-term tests under realistic conditions provide useful information about the reliability and service life of cables in energy chains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the igus climatic test chamber, Cologne, Germany chainflex<\/a><\/strong> cables move continuously in energy chains where they are subjected temperatures down to -40\u00b0C; this is not done just once but millions of times.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Travelling over a distance of 4.35m and at speeds of over 0.7m\/s, the cables endure 6,900 cycles every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cable only passes the test if it has no jacket fractures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

igus defines three different bending and temperature ranges for the jacket materials it uses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, for static cables, secondly for flexibly moving cables in accordance with VDE or IEC standards and, thirdly, for cables moving in energy chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
