Product Description

The CHAINFLEX Control Cable: 20 AWG is a continuous flexing control cable from the Chainflex CF9 series, featuring 18 conductors of single copper wire with a TPR jacket rated at 300 V. It is coolant resistant and CE 2014/35/EU compliant, with minimum bend radius factors of 3 x OD for fixed installation, 4 x OD for flexible use, and 5 x OD for e-chain applications. This cable does not include a ground conductor and is sold by the foot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CHAINFLEX CF9-05-18 control cable used for?

The CHAINFLEX CF9-05-18 is a continuous flexing control cable designed for automated machinery, robotics, and conveyor systems that require repeated bending in cable carriers (e-chains). Its TPR jacket and coolant resistance make it suitable for industrial environments with exposure to cutting fluids or coolants.

What are the specifications of the CHAINFLEX CF9-05-18 cable?

This cable has 18 conductors of single copper wire, 20 AWG, rated at 300 V. It features a TPR jacket, is coolant resistant, and complies with CE 2014/35/EU. Minimum bend radius factors are 3 x OD fixed, 4 x OD flexible, and 5 x OD for e-chain use. It does not include a ground conductor.

Where to buy CHAINFLEX CF9-05-18 cable worldwide?

3G Electric supplies the CHAINFLEX CF9-05-18 control cable worldwide. As a global industrial equipment distributor, we handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your site. Contact us for availability and lead time; we source and deliver this cable to any country.

How to select the right CHAINFLEX continuous flex cable for an e-chain application?

For e-chain applications, ensure the cable's minimum bend radius factor matches your carrier's bend radius. The CF9-05-18 requires 5 x OD in e-chains. Also verify conductor count, AWG, voltage rating, and environmental resistance (e.g., coolant). CHAINFLEX cables are engineered for high-flex life in automated systems.
