Tested in the igus laboratory


For e-spool flex pull-out forces

Tested e-spool flex pull-out forces In its test laboratory, the largest in the industry, igus compared the e-spool flex with a competing product. The test evaluated the two products' pull-out forces.

The results showed that the e-spool pull-out forces were about ten newtons, while those of the competing product were almost twice that.

A: e-spool flex
B: Competing product
C: Pull-out force [N]D: Pull-out [m]

For the e-spool flex mini extension length

Tested e-spool flex mini extension length In its test laboratory, the largest in the industry, igus compared the e-spool flex mini with a competing product. The test evaluated the two products' extension lengths.

The results showed that the e-spool flex mini extension length was about three metres, while that of the competing product was only half that.
