Monitoring of cable tensile force (CF.P) with the aid of cables

Sensor for smart cable | isense CF.P

Cables used in energy chains require close monitoring to ensure reliability. The CF.P sensor measures the forces directly at the strain relief on the fixed end of the e-chain®, providing an accurate assessment of cable stress. If a cable exceeds its designated load threshold, the CF.P sensor detects and transmits this data. In critical cases, it can trigger an alarm or system shutdown to prevent damage. This proactive approach helps protect your cables and systems, while also extending their service life. Use the configurator to find the right CF.P sensor for your specific cable setup.

The CF.P sensor measures the tensile forces on the cables
Permanently increased tensile forces can lead to cable damage and, in the worst case, to a cable fire
The CF.P sensor recognises incorrectly performed maintenance on the cables
Data is stored on an SD card and can be read out for analysis

CF.P on a container crane

Perfect protection for the cable
Konstantin Schmer shows where a CF.P unit is mounted on a crane. The system can be retrofitted to almost all igus® cable carrier systems.
If you also have a crane with an energy chain from igus®, would like a retrofit and are looking for reliable protection against damage to the cable, we would be happy to advise you.
