Cable inside a cable carrier sees constant back-and-forth travel at speed, for millions of cycles. Conductor stranding, lay length and jacket compound have to be chosen together — a soft jacket over a coarse strand fails at the jacket long before the copper does. Flex life is set by the jacket: nitrile reaches 3,000,000+ cycles, polyurethane 5,000,000+.
Quote the carrier radius and the travel length, not just the cross-section. Bend radius is construction-dependent and moves with strand count and jacket thickness, so it is confirmed against the actual carrier rather than read off a table.

Every construction in this table is a build we have made, described by its technical data only. The buyer, the platform it went into and the application remain that buyer's — we do not use a customer's design as a reference or a case study. If you need a reference for a comparable programme, ask at enquiry stage and we will say what we are able to share.

3,000,000+ cycles with a nitrile jacket and 5,000,000+ with polyurethane, on the same conductor construction. Flex life is governed by the jacket compound.
Send the carrier radius and the travel length. Bend radius is specified per construction rather than published as a fixed figure.
Yes. Tinned copper braid or aluminium-foil shielding is available on the same construction for drive and servo applications.
