igus Chainflex CF77 and CF78 Oil-Resistant Control Cables for Machine Tools
igus introduced the Chainflex CF77 and CF78 control cable family specifically for dynamic energy chain applications in the machine tool industry. These cables unite nine advantages of several proven Chainflex cable series into a single design .
Design Innovations:
Stranded in layers for seven or fewer wires; bundled in bundles for 12 or more wires
Stranded around a strong tensile rope core to prevent corkscrews and core breakage
Slim outer diameter comparable to layered-strand cables
PUR outer sheath extruded under pressure into all gaps and gussets for maximum stability
Highly abrasion-resistant and bend-resistant
Flame-retardant and halogen-free
Certifications:
UL/CSA approved
DESINA conforming
Suitable for clean room conditions (ISO Class 1)
The oil-resistant series addresses the severe mechanical and chemical demands of machine tools where exposure to cutting fluids, lubricants, and coolants is continuous. The pressure-extruded PUR sheath ensures long-term protection against oil penetration and mechanical wear .
