What causes cable stress in high flexing applications?
Cable stress has a direct impact on the reliability of automation equipment. Understanding what causes cables to fail in high-flexing applications allows us to take appropriate precautions during the design phase to optimize the system’s reliability.
What happens when you have a flexor tendon injury?
A flexor tendon injury can make it impossible to bend your fingers or thumb. The flexor tendons allow you to bend your fingers. Tendons are tissues that connect muscles to bone. When muscles contract, tendons pull on bones. This causes parts of the body (such as a finger) to move.
How does reducing the diameter of copper cable increase Flex Life?
Reducing the diameter of the cable results in an exponential increase in flex life when the bend radius remains constant. Using standard copper conductors and reducing the size and weight of the cable can increase flex life (reliability) and minimize cost.
Is the flex layout based on block or inline flow?
If “regular” layout is based on both block and inline flow directions, the flex layout is based on “flex-flow directions”. Please have a look at this figure from the specification, explaining the main idea behind the flex layout.

Do you think stretching will make you more flexible?
Most people assume that stretching—in a way that uses muscle to force other muscles to lengthen—leads to flexibility. It doesn’t! The old-fashioned approach of static stretching (holding still while pushing hard into a stretch) has been part of most athletic training regimes for decades.
