Igus Chainflex® CF.INI CF9 Straight M12 x 1 Bare Copper Unshielded TPE Sensor/Actuator Cable

Also Known as:

Control Cable, Sensor Cable, Actuator Cable, Flexible Cable, IGUS Cable, Continues-Flex Cable, Dynamic Cable, Flexing Cable, Flex Cable, Linear Motion Cable 

Description:

Initiator cables, also referred to as sensor/actuator cables, connect control units and different sensors, or, in the case of reversal of the measurement principle, actuators. Frequently used abbreviations include ini or ini cable (plural: inis).

Sensor or measurement transducers transform physical quantities such as rotation, speed, distance or length into analogue electric impulses. In the case of an actuator, the measured electric current (symbol: I, unit: ampere; A) or voltage (symbol: U, unit: volt; V) is transformed into temperature, pressure or torque.

Construction:

• Conductor: Fine-wire stranded conductor in especially bending-resistant version consisting of bare copper wires (according to DIN EN 60228)

• Conductor Insulation: Mechanically high-quality TPE mixture

• Conductor Construction: Conductors stranded in short pitch in one position

• Conductor Identification: brown, blue, black, white

• Inner Jacket: TPE mixture suited to the requirements in e-chains®

• Overall Shield: Extremely bending-resistant braiding made of tinned copper wires. Coverage approx. 70% linear, approx. 90% optical.

• Outer Jacket: Low-adhesion mixture on the basis of TPE, especially abrasionresistant and highly flexible, adapted to suit the requirements in e-chains®.

• Jacket Color: Steel blue (similar to RAL 5011)

• CFRIP®: Quickly stripping: CFRIP® tear strip at outer jacket
