| When do I use this igus® strain relief system: | Standard for high accelerations, loads and demanding applications. In many cables, large cable Ø, cables on top of each other. For long travels, cranes, offshore, machine tools, high speeds, hydraulic cables. When modularity is required. | Standard for many applications with medium accelerations. In unsupported, gliding, hanging und standing applications in general machine and machine tools construction. For side by side cables. Can be also used as individual part, e.g. for switch cabinets or the like |
