In crane construction, energy supply systems increasingly prove their technical and economic strengths. Flexibility, variability and a space-saving installation are only some of the most important criteria. The cables are an important module of the energy supply system. Here users expect a high functional reliability.
igus® cables are continuously tested in the chainflex® laboratory. Significant knowledge about the service life of a cable was thereby gained, which helped in arriving at improvements for the future cable assembly. It becomes particularly interesting when there is a rare opportunity to take cables from real, tough applications and test them.
Current test The chainflex® cable CF9.60.05 is used in container cranes for years, in this case with a total travel of approx 47 m. A test assignment by the operator was meant to highlight a performance rating after more than 40,000 chain kilometers and to determine when to expect a preventive maintenance for the other equipment.
After removing the CF9.60.05, tests were carried out with the following objectives:
