Introduction to drag chain cables

Drag chain cable is a highly flexible specialized cable that can move back and forth with the drag chain without being easily worn out. It is also commonly referred to as a drag cable or tank chain cable. The drag chain cable is named after placing wires and cables in a drag chain. The drag chain can protect the cable, and the cable can also move back and forth with the drag chain. It is a highly flexible cable that can move back and forth with the drag chain and is not easily worn out. This type of wire and cable that can be used for drag chains can be called drag cable, drag cable, and tank chain cable.

Chain cable is a highly flexible cable used for connection and control, widely used in dry or humid indoor, reciprocating, free bending, and moving drag chain systems without forced tension. Such as machine tool processing equipment, logistics and transportation systems, port machinery, and complete equipment installation engineering. Ordinary drag chain cables have advantages such as bending performance, flexibility in movement, wear resistance, oil resistance, and tensile strength.

application

Drag chain cables are mainly used in industrial electronic systems, automatic generation lines, warehousing equipment, robots, fire protection systems, cranes, CNC machine tools, and metallurgical industries.

requirement

1.The laying of drag chain cables should not be twisted, that is, the cable cannot be untied from one end of the cable drum or cable reel. Instead, the cable should be unfolded by rotating the drum or cable reel first, and if necessary, the cable can be unfolded or suspended. The cables used in this situation can only be directly obtained from the cable reel.

2.It is necessary to pay attention to the minimum bending radius of the cable. (Information can be found in the flexible drag chain cable selection table).

3.The cables must be laid loosely side by side in the drag chain, arranged as separately as possible, separated by spacers or inserted into the separation holes in the bracket gap. The gap between the cables in the drag chain should be at least 10% of the cable diameter.

4.The cables in the drag chain must not come into contact or be trapped together.

5.Both points of the cable must be fixed, or at least at the moving end of the drag chain. The distance between the moving point of a general cable and the end of the drag chain should be 20-30 times the diameter of the cable.

6.Please ensure that the cable moves completely within the bending radius, i.e. 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 best to check the position of the cables. This inspection must be carried out after the push pull movement.

If the drag chain is broken, the cable also needs to be replaced, as damage caused by excessive stretching cannot be avoided.
