1130 More information www.igus.eu/e-spool e-spool ® | Technical data | Guidelines Technical data Guidelines for e-spool ® In view of the special mechanical stress inside an e-spool ® , we recommend using igus ® chainflex ® cables. We also recommend that the following guidelines are observed: 1. Only put cables side by side in the linear chain - never stack them! 2. Where possible, chainflex ® cables with a TPE outer jacket should be used for unshielded cables 3. Shielded cables should be chosen from the chainflex ® CFROBOT range 4. The maximum bend radius of the twisterband must be accounted for 5. Where possible, use separators to protect cables against cross-over and abrasion against each other. To make the best possible use of the interior space, install the separator in alternate links 6. Insert cables sorted by diameter and/or bend radius - insert small ones in the centre then increasingly larger ones towards the outside 7. Apply strain relief to both ends of the cable - when using a cable tie for strain relief, please ensure the head of the cable tie is underneath to avoid cable damage 8. The cables should be installed in the twisterband with clearance space both outwards and inwards from the rotary axis Installation instructions For applications that move horizontally, a smooth surface is required for the e-chain ® to travel over.
