Talking about what points should be paid attention to when choosing cable drag chains

- Jul 01, 2020-  


The cable drag chain is a protection product, it is an auxiliary facility for the movement of cables, oil pipes, and gas pipes. It can solve the phenomenon of friction, damage and disordered distribution of moving cables, oil pipes and gas pipes in the work of mechanical equipment. There are many types of cable drag chains, complete specifications: such as: mini drag chains, light drag chains, medical equipment drag chains, S-shaped drag chains, plastic drag chains, openable drag chains, closed drag chains, conjoined drag chains , Composite drag chains, heavy drag chains, super long wear-resistant drag chains, extended double and multi-row cable drag chains, silent drag chains, rectangular metal hoses, stainless steel conduit protective sleeves, aluminum plastic drag chains, steel drag chains, etc. product. It can be based on the working environment of different mechanical equipment (such as oil, water, dust, iron filings, garbage, debris, etc.), the number and total weight of the pipeline, the distribution form (integral, open, separated) and mechanical movement speed (How many meters per minute) and other factors to determine the specification and model of the drag chain you need.


Diameter-depends on the height and width of the inner diameter of the cable drag chain; weight-depends on the material and wall thickness of the cable drag chain; speed-depends on the form of the cable drag chain installation.

Before choosing a plastic cable drag chain, we need to know the auxiliary facilities for moving cables, oil pipes, and air pipes:


Select the cable with the largest diameter, confirm the height of the plastic cable drag chain, use the tube bending height to select the radius of the plastic cable drag chain, and use the size of the wire tube to determine the width of the cable drag chain.

1. The cable drag chain can adapt to the maximum moving speed of 40 m/min

2.When the drag chain is at the maximum moving speed, the noise sound pressure level is not more than 68 decibels.

3. The safe service life of the cable protection chain is not less than 1 million times (reciprocation). It is suitable for use in reciprocating motion occasions, and can traction and protect the built-in cable oil pipe, air pipe, water pipe, etc.

4. Each section of the cable protection chain can be opened for easy installation and maintenance. Low noise during exercise, wear-resistant, high-speed movement.

5. Drag chains have been widely used in CNC machine tools, electronic equipment, fire-fighting machinery, stone machinery, glass machinery, door and window machinery, injection molding machines, manipulators, overweight transportation equipment, automated warehouses, etc. Plastic drag chain is also called engineering drag chain, tank chain. The cable protection chain can be divided into three types: bridge type, fully enclosed, and semi-enclosed cable drags according to the use environment and requirements.
