What Makes This Cable Special?
This cable is part of the famous Igus Chainflex family. It is the CF130 series. The specific model is CF130.02.20.UL. Let’s break down what this means for your machine.
Perfect Structure for High Flexing
The cable has 20 cores. Each core has a cross-section of 0.25 sq mm. This size is perfect for control signals. It is not too thick to bend. It is not too thin to break.
Inside, the wires are made of high-purity copper. They use a special twisting process. This process, called “lay length,” reduces stress. When the cable bends, the wires do not fight each other. They move smoothly.
The outer jacket is made of PUR (Polyurethane). This is a special plastic. It is very tough. It resists oil, coolant, and chemicals. It also has a “low adhesion” surface. This means it does not stick to the plastic links of the cable chain. It glides easily. This reduces friction and heat.
Built for Millions of Cycles
Standard cables fail after a few thousand moves. This Igus cable is different. It is tested for millions of cycles.
In the factory tests, this cable moves back and forth. It bends. It twists. It pulls. It does this millions of times without cracking. This is why it is safe for your automated systems. You do not need to replace it often. It saves you money on maintenance.
Technical Specifications You Can Trust
We know you need exact numbers for your engineering team. Here are the hard facts about the Igus CF130.02.20.UL.
Electrical Data
- Voltage Rating: 300/500 Volts. This fits most industrial control systems.
- Conductor Material: Fine-stranded bare copper. It follows DIN EN 60228 standards.
- Insulation: Special PVC mixture inside. PUR jacket outside.
- Shielding: This specific model is unshielded. If you need shielding for noise, we have other models like CF211. But for general I/O signals, this works great.
Mechanical Limits
- Bending Radius: 7 times the cable diameter. It is very flexible. It fits in tight spaces.
- Speed: It works well at speeds up to 3 m/s.
- Acceleration: It handles up to 20 m/s². This is fast for most robot arms and CNC axes.
- Temperature Range:
- Fixed installation: -50°C to +80°C.
- In motion (cable chain): -20°C to +80°C.
- Note: If you need extreme cold or heat resistance, ask us about TPE or special PUR versions.
Physical Details
- Outer Diameter: Approximately 10.4 mm (varies slightly by batch).
- Weight: Lightweight. It does not add heavy load to your moving parts.
- Core Count: 20 cores.
- Cross Section: 0.25 mm² per core.
- Color: Black (standard Igus color).
Where Can You Use This Cable?
This cable is everywhere in modern factories. It is the “industrial umbilical cord” for moving parts. Here are the best places to use it.
CNC Machines and Machine Tools
This is the most common use. Think of a CNC milling machine or a lathe. The control cabinet is fixed. The spindle moves. The tool changer moves. The Igus 20-core cable carries signals to the motors and sensors. It goes inside the cable chain (also called a drag chain or energy chain). It bends thousands of times a day. It resists the coolant oil splashing on it.
Robotics and Automation
Robot arms need flexible cables. The wrist joint moves a lot. A stiff cable will break the robot’s servo. This flexible CF130 cable is perfect for the robot wrist. It carries encoder signals and low-voltage power. It is lightweight, so the robot moves faster.
Automated Warehouses and Conveyors
In a big Amazon-style warehouse, conveyor belts move packages. Sensors read barcodes. Gates open and close. These moving gates need cables. The CF130.02.20.UL is great for these logic control signals. It is abrasion-resistant. If it rubs against the chain, it does not wear out quickly.
Special Vehicles and Outdoor Use
This cable is UV-resistant. You can use it outside. It is good for special vehicles, stage lighting equipment, or automated parking systems. It handles rain and sun better than standard PVC cables.
Why Choose Igus Chainflex CF130?
You might ask, “Why not buy a cheap local cable?” Here is the truth. Cheap cables cost more in the long run.
Certified Quality
This cable has real certificates. It meets UL, CSA, and CE standards. It also follows Desina standards. This means it is safe. It passes strict fire and safety tests. You can use it in Europe and North America without worry.
The “Chain” Compatibility
Igus makes both the cable and the cable chain. They design them to work together. The cable jacket has low friction. It slides inside the Igus E-Chain perfectly. It does not get stuck. It does not “telescope” (bunch up). This smooth movement extends the life of both the cable and the chain.
Oil and Chemical Resistance
In a factory, oil is the enemy of rubber. Standard PVC gets soft and sticky in oil. It cracks when it dries. The PUR jacket of the CF130 does not care about oil. It stays strong. It is also flame-retardant. If there is a short circuit spark, it does not spread fire easily.
How to Order and Get Support
We make buying easy. We are a professional export cable factory. We know logistics.
Packaging and Shipping
We usually sell this cable by the meter. The minimum order can be as low as 1 meter (for samples). We ship from Germany or our stock in China.
- Packaging: Coils or cut-to-length.
- Shipping: DHL, FedEx, or Air Freight for small orders. Sea Freight for big pallets.
- Lead Time: If we have stock, we ship in 2-3 days. If we need to order from Germany, it takes 4-6 weeks.
Price and Quotation
The price depends on the length and current copper market (LME). Because it is German-imported, the quality is high, but we keep the price fair.
- Sample Price: Around 1−2 per meter for testing.
- Bulk Price: Much lower. Contact us for a tiered quote.
Technical Help
Do you have a specific application? Are you not sure if 20 cores are enough? Or maybe you need a mixed size (like power + signal)?
Tell us your needs. We can check the Igus database. We can suggest the right connector (like CF211 connectors or M12 connectors) to go with the cable. We provide the “one-stop” solution.
Don’t Wait for the Next Breakdown
Machine downtime is expensive. A broken cable can stop a whole production line. The cost of the Igus CF130.02.20.UL is small compared to the loss of production.
Invest in reliability. Buy the cable that engineers trust. It is flexible. It is tough. It is certified. It is made in Germany.
