chainflex® cables show no wear even after 222.776 cycles

In order to be able to make a statement about the behaviour of cables in a vertically suspended energy chain, igus® GmbH from Cologne investigated the facts in its in-house test laboratory. To this end, four chainflex® cables were tested for 10 days in a series-E4 energy chain with a (different) travel distance of 5 metres. After the test and 222,776 completed test cycles, no appreciable wear on the cables was found. On the basis of this test, the following statements can be made:
