Test setup: CF5 control cable

Test number:2233
Cable type:CF5.10.25
Cable type:Control cable
Bend radius:100mm (factor 5.3 x d)
Service life:42 million strokes
Control cable CF5.10.25

In this test, the service life expectancy of the CF5.10.25 with cores wound in bundles in an e-chain with a 100mm radius was to be investigated.

The CF5 control cable family is available in an insane number of core/cross section combinations. 1.5mm and 2.5mm cross sections are very often used in indoor cranes to supply buttons, limit switches, motors or even simple lamps. The long travels in the hall are already exhausting, and there are travels there that can reach over 80m. Here, the short pitch length and cores wound in bundles are very good for a long service life. But dirt from dust and exhaust gases also affects the cables in the area of the hall roof, and the abrasion-resistant, oil-resistant outer jacket scores well here.

With a test result of over 42 million strokes with significant sagging, it could be confirmed that the cable more than meets the durability requirements in a crane application.
