Cable Chains
A cable chain, also known as a drag chain or energy chain is a flexible hollow structure used to guide and protect cables and hoses together in one system. It ensures a constant supply of energy, data and signals to machinery and equipment while it is continuously in motion.
Over time cables and hoses connected to machinery can get damaged due to constant flexing and tension. Cable drag chain is designed to support them from such stresses. Using cable chains helps to extend the service life of cables and hoses, thus reducing machinery downtimes.
Where would I use cable chains?
Cable drag chain is used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications wherever there are moving cables or hoses. Constructed from durable, hard-wearing plastic cable drag chain can withstand the most arduous environmental conditions. Some of the most common are
- Machine tools
