chainflex cable's classification according to the criteria requirements, oil-resistance and travel distance.
The chainflex class is composed of 3 parts:
Requirements 1 to 7 Travel distance 1 to 4 Resistance to oil 1 to 4 To make the choice easier for you, we have classified all chainflex cables according to the criteria "requirements, oil-resistance and travel distance". The higher the number the better the cable. Example: You are looking for a cable which is suitable for the highest mechanical load. In addition, it should be oil-resistant following DIN EN 50363-10-2. The travel distance should be up to 100 m for freely suspended and gliding applications. You choose from the classification overview (see left page): 1: Flexible cables 2: Highly flexible cables 3: Chain-suitable cables without special structure (e.g. stranding in layers) for the use in e-chains. 4: Cables with special structure for permanent movement in e-chains for medium requirements and radii from 7.5 x d, speed up to 3 m/s 5: Cables for permanent movement in e-chains for high-load requirements and radii from 6.8 x d, speed up to 10 m/s 6: Cables for permanent movement in e-chains for highest load requirements and radii from 5 x d, speed up to 10 m/s 7: Cables for permanent movement in e-chains for highest load requirements and smallest radii, indoor and outdoor, radii from 4 x d, speed up to 10 m/s and more 1: freely suspended 2: freely suspended and gliding up to 50 m 3: freely suspended and gliding up to 100 m 4: freely suspended and gliding up to 400 m and more Requirements: Travel distance: Resistance to oil: 6 3 3

Give us your opinion!

Yes, we can! Catalogue improvement.
Dear costumers, with every new chainflex catalogue we agonize about how we can do the catalogue easier and better. And we know our catalogue so well that many details are totally clear for us. Then a costumer asks a detailed question and we notice, that it is not said that clear in the catalogue.
