We supply a wide range of nylon cable chains designed to support cables and hoses connected to automated equipment. Also known as energy chains, drag chains, cable carriers or cat-track, the chains enable movement of the cable while providing superior protection, reducing stress on the cables and preventing cable entanglement.
● Large surface allows the chain to slide on itself
● Cross pieces open and close with a “snap-fit” action
● Nylon separator allows for cables to be laid apart from each other
● Smooth inner surface
● Steel or nylon end brackets with tiewrap clamp available
● Single connecting pivot pin offers high integrity in high performance applications (applies to medium series chains)
Sliding nylon cable chains are used primarily on long travel distances (up to 900m) and are a great alternative to traditional conductor bars, festoon systems or cable/ hose reels. You’ll benefit from:
● Combined transportation of hydraulic cables/ hoses
● Use in critical environments prone to humidity, textile dust, negative
● Chemical and atmospheric components
● High velocities and values of acceleration
● Notably shorter installation times
● Reduction in the time taken for maintenance
A special feature in the sliding series is the integrated sliding skid, which allows the chains to slide on itself, reducing the friction due to the special polymers used.
The dimensions of the skid allow the chain to keep itself stable in applications with high velocities.
These chains have been tested using torsion and wear and tear, passing the tensile yield stress with exceptional results above high normal values .
