Profibus cables have integrated supply
cores
Profibus cables with integrated supply cores offer the facility of integrating four more power supply cables in addition to the advantage of the shielded bus element.
Igus have just introduced another specialised cable to their Chainflex range: Chainflex CF11 Profibus cables with integrated supply cores The advantage of the hybrid cable is, in addition to the shielded bus element, four more power supply cables can be integrated

Profile roller energy chain is fast and quiet
For transmitiing energy and data to indoor and outdoor crane equipment and conveyor systems, Igus has dveloped its 'System P4' roller energy chain for even quieter operational smoothness.
Machine tool control cables take high loads
Machiner tool control cables take high loads Energy chain manufacturer, igus, has introduced machine tool control cables for dynamic applications with high cycle rates under high loads.
These additional supply cores have a cross section of 1.5mm2 each.
"Chainflex typical" is the special design of the Profibus cable.
The igus Profibus element must be stranded in a very short pitch length, then equipped with a pressure extruded inner jacket and two shields and finally stranded again with 4 additional supply cores in a very short pitch length.
This is important to avoid failures caused by "corkscrews" and core ruptures.
This often happens, when its design is asymmetrical or where the structure is filled with fillers and foils.
For this reason the extremely abrasion free TPE outer jacket is extruded under high pressure (gusset-filling) into all intermediate spaces of the stranding - this is another stabilisation of Chainflex cable.
The PVC and halogen free Profibus hybrid cable is DESINA-conforming and has a energy chain bending radii of only 125mm under the most difficult applications.
This corresponds to 10xd outside diameter at high accelerations and long travels.
The CF11.02.02.15.04.PBA.LC.D has a precise product name like the other 634 types of tested cables.
