If the cables are managed sensibly i.e. leave enough slack and route cables
in an arc
then the stress shouldn't be a problem

I've seen stuff installed in museums operating constantly for several years
that have had no problems,  you just need to route the cables to minimise
any wear and avoid chafing.
