Crane cable strain relief device

igus® own Chainfix product series

• igus® Chainfix reduces the overall height due to optimum housing height
• Long-term durability for dynamic applications due to improved press-fit elements
• Suitability for integration in the KMA connection element
• Space-saving and time-saving assembly
• Possibility of delivery for complete systems with cables and assembled strain relief device
• Improved foot for facilitated installation on the C profile

igus® Chainfix strap clips

• Optimized height due to newly developed housing
• Improved foot for facilitated installation on the C profile
• Good visual effects due to black housing body and black threaded setscrews
• Easy to assemble due to setscrews that are screwed using an Allen key

igus® press-fit elements - Reduced overall height due to setscrew and optimum housing height

• Long supporting surface improves the stability of the strap clip
• High inherent rigidity increases the operating safety
• Integrated ribs prevent the cable from detaching itself from the strain relief device

New pressure trough, mating trough and press trough with ribs for better long-term durability

When the energy chains glide along on themselves in the case of long distances of travel, the screw heads of the strain relief device at the fixed point of the chain must possess a separating distance of at least 10 mm to the top edge of the energy chains. Our newly developed clip housing with setscrews reduce the overall height by as much as 15 mm compared with conventional strap clips.

Three times higher tensile strength than with standard-type strap clips

We tested three different strain relief devices

• A. Standard-type strap clip made of hot-galvanized steel, double trough and press trough made of impact-resistant plastic (Art. no. CF14-1-Z, standard elements)
• B. Strap clip as described above, double trough and press trough made of igumid G (Art. no. CFY14-1)
• C. Strap clip "Chainfix", mating trough and press trough made of igumid G (Art. no. CFX14-1)
