The basic idea behind the development of cable drag chains is for the protection of cable, pneumatic hoses, hoses & wires. It is attached to the moving part of the machine & provides safe, precise and smooth rumming of operation. Since it synchronizes with the movement of machine's cables and hoses, it prolongs the runtime operation, preventing from stripping,twisting and bending of cable and hose.
We have numerous types of cable chains made up of industrial plastic, Stainless steel etc in different dimensions and radius, just to suit every application. We also have enclosed type and duct types chains to protect the cables even from dust & other alien material just as welding sparks, machining centre chips etc.
The selection of the right type o cable chain is also as important as the decision on putting up the drag chain is. Many factors like the stroke length, velocity, outer dia and number of hoses/cables to be covered, total weight per meter to be carried, Bending raduius, working temerature & Chip/non-chip area have to be taken into consideration while selecting the right chain
L : Necessary Chain length required
S : Stroke length
R : Bending radius
P : Pitch (Chain Pitch)
