Chainflex cables

Chainflex ® cable's classification according to the criteria requirements, oil-resistance and travel distance.The Chainflex ® class is composed of 3 parts:Requirements Travel distance Resistance to oil1 up to 7 1 up to 4 1 up to 4To make the choice easier for you, we have classified all Chainflex ® -cables after thecriteria "requirements, oil-resistance and travel distance". The higher the number the betterthe cable.Requirements1: Flexible cables2: Highly flexible cables3: Chain-suitable cables without specialstructure (e.g. stranding in layers) forthe use in E-Chains ® .4: Cables with special structure for thepermanent move in E-Chains ® formedium requirements and radii from7,5 x d, speed up to 3 m/s5: Cables for the permanent move inE-Chains ® for high load requirementsand radii from 6,8 x d, speed up to10 m/s6: Cables for the permanent move inE-Chains ® for highest load requirementsand radii from 5 x d, speed upto 10 m/s7: Cables for the permanent move inE-Chains ® for highest load requirementsand smallest radii, indoor andoutdoor, radii from 4 x d, speed up to10 m/s and moreTravel distance1: freely suspended2: freely suspended and gliding up to 50 m3: freely suspended and gliding up to100 m4: freely suspended and gliding up to400 m and moreResistance to oil1: No resistance to oil2: Oil-resistant (following DIN EN60811-2-1, DIN EN 50363-4-1)3: Oil-resistant (following DIN EN60811-2-1, DIN EN 50363-10-2)4: Oil-resistant (following DIN EN 60811-2-1),bio-oil-resistant (following VDMA 24568with Plantocut 8 S-MB tested by DEA)Example: You are looking for a cable which resists highest mechanicalrequirements. Aside it should be oil-resistant following VDMA 24568.The travel distance should be up to 400 m and more for gliding applications.You choose from the classification overview (see left page):Requirements: 7Travel distance: 4Resistance to oil: 4This results in the cable's class – here "Class 7.4.4" that you cantake out of each product's page.In theory the following classes would be possible:lowest "Class 1.1.1", highest "Class 7.4.4"
