chainfix strain relief: clamps
Strain relief for cables in energy chains with clamps and pressure elements
The principle of clamps has proven to be a good strain relief for cables in energy chains. Clamps are a suitable strain relief for all energy chains/drag chains with KMA mounting bracket and C-rail option.
Product range and materials
- Steel clamp: Black painted steel clamp and threaded pin
- Stainless steel clamp: clamp and threaded pin: bright (material AISI 304)
- Pressure elements: press, double and bottom saddle (material igumid G)
- C-profiles: Steel (material galvanised steel) or stainless steel (material AISI 304) available
Tech up
- 3.5 times higher force absorption than standard clamps
- Painted steel or stainless steel
- For two different C rail sizes
- CFX standard clamps with normal base and CFXL clamps with wide base for increased holding force available.
Cost down
- Cost-effective standard component
- Easy to retrofit
- Cost-effective strain relief for large hose and cable diameters
- Space and time-saving assembly
- Easy to install
Proof
- Tested in the igus lab:
- A) Tensile strength test CFX clamps with stacker saddle
- B) Comparison test of 3 different strain relief systems.
Conclusion: the tensile strength of igus chainfix clamps is three times higher when compared with conventional strain relief
Sustainability
- At the end of its life cycle, recycle your energy or drag chain at the igus chainge Recycling Programme .
- igus supports the circular economy of plastics and invests in chemical recycling
Multi-clamps
chainfix clamps - Fitted quickly and securely
- Installation height reduced by up to 15mm compared to conventional clamps thanks to optimised housing height
- Up to 3.5 times higher force absorption compared to conventional clamps
- Part no. is easy to read and the correct installation direction is labelled on the side
- Space and time-saving installation
- Improved base for easier installation on the C-profile
- Easy to install thanks to threaded pins that are screwed in with an Allen wrench
- Durability for dynamic applications thanks to improved pressure elements
- Integrated ribs on the pressure elements, no loosening of the cable from the strain relief
Please note:
- Ideally, the cables should be attached to both ends of the energy chain. They must always be attached to the moving end of the energy chain!
- When using chainfix clamps on C-profiles in the mounting bracket for series 280, 2828, 290, 2928, R770, R7728, a shortened bottom saddle must be used. For shortened bottom saddles, please add the part number with the index "K" Example: Part No. CFX12.1K
chainfix offers reduced installation height thanks to threaded pin and optimised housing height
Installation height
If the energy chain is guided on itself on long travels, the screw heads of the strain relief at the fixed end of the chain must be at least 10mm away from the top edge of the energy chain. This restriction means that the strain relief elements described here may not be able to be used at the fixed end of long energy chains. Our clamps with threaded screws, specially developed for low installation heights, reduce the installation height by up to 15mm compared to conventional clamps. The strain relief elements can be used safely with unsupported energy chains.
