chainflex® cables show no wear even after 222.776 cycles

In order to be able to make a statement about the behavior of cables in a vertically suspended energy chain, igus® GmbH from Cologne investigated the facts in its in-house test laboratory. To this end, four chainflex® cables were tested for 10 days in a series-E4 energy chain with a (different) travel distance of 16 feet. After the test and 222,776 completed test cycles, no appreciable wear on the cables was found. On the basis of this test, the following statements can be made:
