Test setup: motor cable CF38

In this test, the life expectancy of the CF38.250.04 was to be analysed in an e-chain® with a 175mm radius

Cable failures are certainly never desirable. However, a cable failure in crane and trolley travel is unthinkable. Reliability and maximum safety are required here. The motorised cables used are therefore exposed to major challenges. Temperatures of -40°C to +80°C are not uncommon. In addition, there are usually long travel distances and therefore high loads due to continuous use and dust. The motor cable used must be able to withstand all these conditions.

The test has shown that the expected service life of the motor cable CF38.250.04 exceeds 43 million strokes and therefore has large reserves.
