Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CHAINFLEX CF78-UL control cable used for?

The CHAINFLEX CF78-UL control cable is designed for continuous flexing applications in automated machinery, robotics, and cable carriers (e-chains). Its PUR jacket and coolant resistance make it suitable for industrial environments where cables must withstand repeated motion and exposure to cutting fluids.

What are the specifications of the CHAINFLEX 18 AWG control cable?

This CHAINFLEX cable has 18 conductors of 18 AWG copper wire, a PUR jacket, and a 1,000 V rating. It includes a ground conductor and meets CE standards. Minimum bend radius factors are 4 x OD for fixed, 5 x OD for flexible, and 6.8 x OD for e-chain use. It is coolant resistant.

Where to buy CHAINFLEX control cable worldwide?

3G Electric supplies the CHAINFLEX CF78-UL control cable worldwide. As a global industrial distributor, we handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your site. Contact us for pricing and lead time on this cable, sold by the foot.

How to select the right CHAINFLEX cable for an e-chain application?

For e-chain use, ensure the cable's minimum bend radius factor (6.8 x OD for this CHAINFLEX model) matches your carrier's bend radius. Also verify voltage rating (1,000 V), conductor count (18), and environmental resistance (coolant). Always consult the manufacturer's Chainflex selection guide for travel length and speed limits.
