Cable Chain

Cable chains, also known as drag chains or energy chains, are a type of mechanical power transmission equipment that falls under the supply class of Gears, Pulleys, Sprockets, and Transmission Chain in the supply group of Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment.

Cable chains are designed to guide and protect cables, hoses, and other flexible conduits in various applications. They consist of a series of interconnected links or segments that form a flexible chain-like structure. These chains are typically made of durable materials such as plastic or metal, and they are commonly used in industrial machinery and automation systems.

The main purpose of cable chains is to provide a safe and organized pathway for cables and hoses, preventing them from tangling, getting damaged, or causing accidents. They also help to maintain the integrity of the cables by reducing stress and strain during movement.

Cable chains are available in different sizes, configurations, and designs to suit specific application requirements. They can be used in various industries, including manufacturing, robotics, automotive, and logistics.

When selecting a cable chain, factors such as load capacity, bending radius, speed, and environmental conditions should be considered to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Overall, cable chains play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth and efficient transmission of power and signals in mechanical systems, while also providing protection and organization for cables and hoses.
