The B17I.5.048.0 is a cable chain manufactured by Igus that is composed of a series of bend-radii, or linkages, connected by a continuous cable. It has a bend-radii of 48mm and a length of 1006mm. This cable chain is used primarily for management and protection of cables and hoses in applications such as printing, packaging machinery, and assembly systems. It is an excellent choice for applications that require flexibility, due to its designed joint angles, allowing differences in angles of 90, 180 and 270 degrees, depending on the size of the bent radius. It is highly resistant to wear, shock and vibration and has relatively small deflection compared to other types of cable assembly. This makes it an ideal choice for long runs requiring tight bends, where protection from abrasion and mechanical stress is necessary.
