Strain relief for electrical cables
Strain relief can consist of standard elements or

end of the e-chain ® . In ideal cases, the cables should be secured at
both ends of the e-chain ® with strain relief. (In a
few instances, strain relief at the moving end of
the e-chain ® is suffi cient - please consult igus ®
for these cases).

Minimum gap between the strain relief and the beginning of the bend radius
Tests on our premises and in fi eld applications have shown strain relief located at the last bend
point of the e-chain ® has no infl uence over the durability of igus ® chainfl ex ® cables. It is possible,
therefore, to integrate the strain relief with the mounting bracket. Strain relief options, i.e. chainfi x
clamp or space-saving tiewrap plate, are off ered by igus ® for almost all e-chains ® .

chainfl ex ® cables can be directly strain-relieved in the mounting bracket (minimum gap to the
last rotating e-chain ® link is not necessary)
