Chainflex cables

Example 15: tested!Completely twisted,take two.The "torsion-resistant" requirement for cables for energy chainsis not new, but is seldom defined exactly. So how is a statementsuch as "This cable is torsion-resistant up to ±180 °!"to be evaluated? This makes it all the more important to beable to deliver comparable and meaningful test results.In order to satisfy this requirement, the "torsion test bench"was developed according to igus ® standard. Here, variouscable types are twisted to a prescribed cable length of1 metre, which also corresponds to the distance between thefixed points.The degree of torsion can be freely chosen, and is definedindividually according to the requirement made on the testspecimen, whereby the test standard is ±180 °.After a prescribed number of double strokes or a negativeelectrical or mechanical test result, the respective testspecimen is dissected, and the type and position of anydamage can be determined exactly.The first Chainflex ® CFROBOT types were developed to seriesmaturity on the basis of this igus ® standard test.Product informationCFROBOT page 216The "torsion test bench" especially developed according tothe igus ® standard.49
