Initiator cables, also referred to as sensor/actuator cables, connect control units and different sensors, or, in the case of reversal of the measurement principle, actuators. Frequently used abbreviations include ini or ini cable (plural: inis). Sensor or measurement transducers transform physical quantities such as rotation, speed, distance or length into analogue electric impulses. In the case of an actuator, the measured electric current (symbol: I, unit: ampere; A) or voltage (symbol: U, unit: volt; V) is transformed into temperature, pressure or torque. The connection cable consists of at least three cores with a small cross-section of between 0.14mm² and 0.34mm². In the simplest case, two cores are required for supplying the voltage, while the last core transmits an I/O signal. For sensitive applications, there are shielded versions in addition to the traditional ini cables to avoid EMC disruptions (electromagnetic compatibility).

The chainflex® bus cables are available for all well-known industrial bus systems such as Profibus, Interbus, Profinet, Ethernet, CAN-Bus, DeviceNet, ASi or CC link. Depending on the cable family, they can be used for torsion, for severe climatic conditions, for narrow radii, or particularly long travel distances, at high speeds and accelerations. Tested in the igus® laboratory with millions of cycles in e-chains®, they provide guaranteed safety against failure. -Bending radii up to 7,5xd -Jacket materials: PVC, iguPUR, PUR or TPE -For flexing applications -For medium duty applications -For extremely heavy duty applications -For twistable use -For heaviest duty applications in rail vehicles -For increased tensile load -Overall shield Flame retardant

PMA cable protection systems are used wherever the mechanical protection of electrical lines and cables is needed. Highly flexible cable protection tubes are specifically suited for the additional protection of cable guides in e-chain® systems. Due to the combination of technical knowhow and the strictest international safety guidelines, PMA fulfils the worldwide requirements of industrial markets in application areas like mechanical engineering, automotive construction, fiber optics, solar systems as well as applications in the robot sector with high speeds and millions of alternate bending cycles.

Chainflex® CFKOAX coaxial cables are designed for very heavy duty applications and are almost unlimited resistance to oil, also with bio-oils. Because of its UV resistance, the cables can be used for indoor and outdoor applications. - Unsupported and gliding travel distances up to 400 m and more - Storage and retrieval units for high-bay warehouses, machining units/machine tools, quick handling, cleanroom, semiconductor insertion, indoor cranes, low-temperature applications - For extremely heavy duty applications - Outer jacket: TPE - Hydrolysis and microbe-resistant - Silicone-free - UV-resistant - Oil-resistant according to DIN EN 60811-404, resistant to organic oils according to VDMA 24568 with Plantocut 8 S-MB by DEA
