Cable carriers, also known as drag chains, energy chains, or cable chains depending on the manufacturer, are guides designed to surround and guide flexible electrical cables and hydraulic or pneumatic hoses connected to moving automated machinery. They reduce wear and stress on cables and hoses, prevent entanglement, and improve operator safety.
Cable carriers may be arranged to accommodate horizontal, vertical, rotary and three-dimensional movements.
Material: The Cable carriers is ejected into formation by polyester.
The Flange is formed through heavy force punching.
1.As the protective sleeve moves, the line is smooth and beautiful.
2. Rigidity is strong without deformation.
3. The length of a protective sleeve can be lengthened or shortened at will.
4. During maintenance of the internal cable drag chains, construction can be performed by removing the protective cover easily.
5. The Closeness is good, will not scraps
Today cable carriers are available in many different styles, sizes, prices and performance ranges. Some of the following variants are:
● Open
● Closed (protection from dirt and debris, such as wood chips or metal shavings)
● Steel or Stainless steel
● Low noise
● Cleanroom compliant (minimal wear)
● Multi-axis movement
● High load resistant
● Chemical, water and temperature resistant

Cable and hose carriers are flexible structures made of links that guide and organize moving cable and hose. Carriers enclose the cable or hose and move with them as they travel around machinery or other equipment, protecting them from wear. Cable and hose carriers are modular, so sections may be added or removed as needed without specialized tools. They’re used in many settings, including material handling, construction, and general mechanical engineering.
