Product Description

Product Description

1. Product Overview——Cable Chain

Drag chains are mechanical devices used to protect flexible pipelines such as cables, oil pipes, and gas pipes, and guide their orderly movement. They are widely used in CNC machine tools, automation equipment, robotics, and other fields, ensuring that pipelines are protected from wear, twisting, or breakage during high-speed reciprocating motion, thereby improving equipment stability and lifespan.

2. Core Features

a.High Strength and Wear Resistance

Made of engineering plastics (nylon PA6, PA66) or metals (aluminum alloy, stainless steel), they are impact-resistant, oil-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, suitable for harsh industrial environments·

b.Flexible Motion Design

The flexible link structure supports various motion modes, including horizontal, vertical, and rotational, and is suitable for high-speed reciprocating motion (up to 10 m/s).

c.Optimized Layer Separation

Built-in spacers or dividers secure cables, hydraulic pipes, and gas pipes to prevent entanglement and friction.

d.Long Life & Low Maintenance

Self-lubricating design reduces wear, eliminates frequent replacement, and reduces downtime costs. 

e.Dust and waterproof

Enclosed or semi-enclosed structure effectively blocks the intrusion of chips, dust, and coolant (IP54 and above protection level).

f.Lightweight & Low Noise

Lighter than metal drag chains, quieter operation, suitable for precision equipment (such as medical equipment and electronics production lines).

Application Scenarios

Selection Guide

CNC machine tools: Protect cables and coolant pipes from damage caused by cutting chips.

Industrial robots: Flexible pipeline management at robotic arm joints.

Automated production lines: Power and signal transmission in conveyor belts and assembly lines.

Laser equipment: Optical fiber and cable protection during laser head movement.

Medical equipment: Pipeline safety protection in precision instruments.

Stroke Length: Drag chain length ≥ maximum equipment travel + 10% margin.

Load Requirements:

Light weight (cables/air pipes): Choose a plastic drag chain.

Heavy weight (hydraulic pipes/multi-wiring harnesses): Choose a steel or reinforced drag chain.

Motion Speed: For high-speed applications (>5m/s), choose a low-friction material (such as graphite-containing nylon).

Environmental Factors:

Oil/Moisture → Oil-resistant nylon drag chain. 

High temperature (>120°C) → Metal or heat-resistant plastic drag chain.

Mounting method: Horizontal, vertical, side-mounted, or floor rail mounted, to match the equipment structure.

Type	Material	Applicable Scenarios	Advantages

FAQ

Q1: Are you trading company or manufacturer?
A: We are factory.

Q2: How do I choose the right protective cover/drag chain model?
A: The selection mainly depends on the following parameters:
Stroke length (protective cover expansion ratio/drag chain bending radius)
Load type (number of cables, oil pipe pressure)
Environmental requirements (temperature resistance, water proof, corrosion resistance level)
We provide a free selection tool and one - on - one guidance from our engineers.

Q3: Which is better, a nylon bellows cover or a stainless steel bellows cover?
A: It depends on the application:
Nylon covers: Lightweight, corrosion - resistant, and cost - effective, suitable for general industrial environments.
Stainless steel covers: High - temperature and impact - resistant, suitable for heavy - load, highly corrosive environments (such as electroplating and chemical processing).

Q4: How do I calculate the bend radius of a drag chain?
A: The formula is cable diameter × 10 (for example: a cable diameter of 20mm → a minimum bend radius of 200mm). We can provide CAD simulation verification services.

Q5: Do you support non - standard customization? How long is the turnaround time?
A: We support full customization, including:
Dimensions (extra - long/special - shaped cross - sections)
Material (anti - static, food - grade, etc.)
Mounting method (magnetic, quick - release, etc.)
Standard customization timeframe is 7 - 15 days, and expedited orders can be shortened to 3 - 5 days.

Q6: What should I do if the bellows cover makes a grinding noise after installation?
A: Possible causes and solutions:
Insufficient lubrication: Use a special silicone - based lubricant.
Assembly deviation: Contact our technical support for remote debugging.

Q7: Cables in the drag chain are frequently worn. How can I resolve this?
A: Recommendations:
Check for overloading (number of cables exceeds the drag chain capacity)
Add separators to prevent cable friction
Use highly flexible cables for use with the product.

Q8: How often should the bellow cover be replaced?
A: It depends on the usage environment. Generally:
Nylon cover: 3 - 5 years (without mechanical damage)
Stainless steel cover: 5 - 8 years
We offer a free lifespan assessment service.

Q9: Is it in stock? What is the delivery time?
A: Generally it is 5 - 10 days if the goods are in stock. or it is 15 - 20 days if the goods are not in stock, it is according to quantity.

Q10: How do I resolve product quality issues?
A: Take photos/videos of the problem area and send them to our customer service email address.
We will provide a solution within 24 hours (replacement/return/on - site service).
