Ifappropriate, they may have to be installedseparately. igus ® Chainflex ® cables of allthe series can be combined with oneanother.● The cables should always be fastened witha strain relief device at the fixed end and atthe moving end. Exceptions are only to befound in the case of some hydraulic hoseswith length compensation or in the case ofother high-pressure hoses. (see "Hydraulichoses")● Generally speaking, the following applies:The faster and more frequently the EnergyChains ® travel, the more important theprecise assignment of the cables in thechain will be. Due to the large number ofvariants, we will gladly advise you withyour specific application.The igus ® kit of Energy Chain Systems ® solves all the require -ments for interior separation known todayBending radius Rigus ® GmbH51147 Köln, Germany● The bending radius of your Energy Chains ®is a factor of the "thickest" or "stiffest" cableor hose in your filling.● The bending radius of the Energy Chains ®should be adapted to suit the recommen -dations of the cable manufacturer. Theselection of bending radius greater than theminimum bending radius has a positiveeffect on the service life to be expected.● The specification of minimum bending radiiin the case of cables applies to service useat normal temperatures. The use of otherbending radii may therefore be advisable.Please ask your cable supplier.igus ® Chainflex ® cables also allow for minimum bending radiiof 5 x d together with millions of strokes.The igus ® product range offers up to 12 different bendingradii for each chain series from stock. Here series 50 in theStorebaelt bridge project.www.igus.euinfo@igus.deWe will be glad to give you our recommendations for a complete Energy Chain System ® . The bending radii of allcables and hoses, interior separation and service life are then perfectly adapted to suit one another in the bestpossible way. Also ask us about the igus ® system guarantee.
