105 1-800-447-2371 www.lutze.com LUTZE Technical Overview LUTZE SUPERFLEX® High Flexing Cable Cycle Ratings The demanding mechanical requirements in drag chains require the use of specially designed cables, constructed for continuous flexing. The lifetime of cables in drag chains highly depends on the mechanical parameters of the application, but also on proper handling and installation of the cable.
