Test setup: CF880 control cable

In this test, service life expectancy CF880.10.12 in a linear chain with a 100mm radius should be investigated.

A control panel for a saw or other woodworking machine always sounds like a simple application. In principle, it is, but reliability is the be-all and end-all here because this is where every function of the machine is influenced. The radii that can be found here are often larger and in the area of wood or other building materials, the PVC jacket of the CF880 is very good with its good abrasion properties against dry dust. Such systems are often installed worldwide and therefore not only a reliable service life but also a UL approval is required. 

With a test result of over 10 million double strokes, it was possible to confirm that even a cost-effective cable is reliable.
