Test setup: CF113.D measuring system cable

In this test, the life expectancy of the CF113.038.D was to be analysed in an e-chain® with a 55 mm radius.

The cable of the CF113.D family is used, for example, in gantries for interlinking machine tools. Chains are installed in long travel paths and these sometimes move at extremely high speeds to transport production parts from one machining centre to the next. In most cases, the environment is covered with an oil film, which makes an oil-resistant jacket essential in order to achieve a long service life.

With a test result of over 32 million double strokes, it has been confirmed that the cable fulfils the high demands of the machine tool.
