Drag chain cable|What is drag chain cable?

Drag chain cable

The drag chain cable is a high flexible cable that can move back and forth and is not easy to wear. The drag chain cable is a high flexible special cable that can follow the drag chain to move back and forth and is not easy to wear. It is called drag chain cable, which is also called drag cable, tank chain cable. When the equipment unit needs to move back and forth, in order to prevent the cable from entanglement, wear, pulling off, hanging and scattering, the cable is often put into the cable drag chain to protect the cable, and the cable can move back and forth with the drag chain.

Requirements for drag chain cable

1. The drag chain cable shall not be twisted, that is, the cable can not be untied from one end of the cable drum or cable reel, but the cable shall be unfolded by rotating the drum or cable reel first, and the cable can be unfolded or hung up if necessary. The cables used for this occasion can only be obtained directly from the cable reel; 2. Attention must be paid to the minimum bending radius of the cable. (Relevant information can be found in the flexible drag chain cable selection table); 3. The cables must be laid loose and side by side in the drag chain, arranged separately as far as possible, separated by spacers or penetrated into the separation hole of the bracket. The gap between the cables in the drag chain should be at least 10% of the cable diameter; 4. Cables in the drag chain shall not touch or be trapped together; 5. Both points of the cable must be fixed, or at least at the moving end of the drag chain. Generally, the distance between the moving point of the cable and the end of the drag chain should be 20-30 times of the cable diameter; 6. Please ensure that the cable moves completely within the bending radius, that is, it cannot be forced to move. In this way, the cables can move relative to each other or to the guide device. After a period of operation, it is better to check the position of the cable. This inspection must be carried out after pushing and pulling; 7. If the drag chain is broken, its cable also needs to be replaced, because the damage caused by excessive stretching cannot be avoided.

Application of drag chain cable

The drag chain cable is mainly used in industrial electronic systems, automatic generation lines, storage equipment, robots, fire protection systems, cranes, CNC machine tools and metallurgical industries.

Model of drag chain cable

TRVV: copper core NBR PVC insulated and NBR PVC sheathed drag chain cable. TRVVP: copper core NBR PVC insulated, NBR PVC sheathed, soft sheathed tinned copper wire mesh braided shielded drag chain cable. TRVVSP: copper-core NBR PVC insulated and NBR PVC sheathed twisted pair total shielded drag chain cable. RVVYP: copper core NBR mixed with special insulation, NBR mixed with special sheath, oil-resistant total shielded drag chain cable. Conductor: multi-strand ultra-fine stranded oxygen-free copper wire with diameter of 0.1 ± 0.004mm. In case of special requirements, other models of copper wire can be selected according to the customer's technical indicators. Insulation: special mixed NBR PVC material insulation. Color: as specified by the customer. Shielding: the braiding density of tinned copper wire mesh is more than 85%. Sheath: special bending resistant, oil resistant, wear-resistant and waterproof sheath for mixed NBR PVC. There are many types of drag chain cables, with the number of cores ranging from single core to 60 core, and the area of single core covers all types of 0.08-60.
