Market launch for chainflex M

More than 100 items in the low-price cable range included in the new catalogue

The safe, tested yet still inexpensive cable family chainflex M from igus can now be ordered. From control, motor, servo and measuring system through to data and bus cables – more than 70 percent of all chainflex M cables are already available ex stock.

The chainflex M series from igus, which was presented at this year's EMO trade fair, promises reliable quality at low prices. All the cable families are between 30 and 38 percent cheaper than previous ranges. Yet igus still guarantees one million double strokes as service life. That's what the "M" in the name stands for. The cables in the chainflex M cable range are now ready for delivery and presented in the new chainflex catalogue. Over 100 different chainflex M cables are listed in the catalogue, 72 percent of which are already available ex stock.

Guaranteed safety at affordable prices igus, specialist for moving cables, can offer customers the guarantee promise for the cables because the company permanently subjects them and complete systems to simulated-reality tests. In the company's own testing laboratory, which has 1,750 m² of floor space, two billion test cycles are run every year at 180 test stations. This means igus is the first supplier on the market to link low- priced cables with a guaranteed service life in the energy chain. Decades of research and market experience allow the energy chain company to develop and manufacture high-quality yet low-priced cables.
