igus chainflex CFSOFT cable

The chainflex CFSOFT from igus uses highly abrasion-resistant, soft jacket materials to ensure high flexibility of the cable. This guarantees a long service life in energy chains, even in the smallest of installation spaces.

The flexibility of the chainflex CFSOFT is achieved by the conductor design. The individual cores are made of soft copper and undergo a special lacing and stranding process during manufacture, which makes the overall cable more flexible and softer than traditional flexible cables. This makes them suitable for quick use in confined spaces. In applications such as those in the semiconductor industry, energy chains with small bend radii are used that guide cables with fast, short strokes of about 0.5 to 1 m in length. Conventional cables force the energy chains open at the bend radius and thus influence their movement. The CFSOFT solves this problem due to its easily pliable material. In this way, the cables are designed for a bend radius of 5x diameter and at the same time have the cleanroom class 2.

CFSOFT cables can be ordered in a length or as a ready-harnessed cable. They can be configured with the help of various online tools and can therefore be adapted to the user application. As a readychain, it is also available ready to install in an e-chain system.
