iHF Black Nylon Cable Drag Chain Flexible Carrier Chain for CNC

Product features:

Drag Chain Installation Method  

1. Open the Cover Plate: Use a flat-head screwdriver to vertically insert into the opening holes at both ends of the cover plate and open it.  

2. Place the Pipes/Cables: Lay the cables, hoses, etc., into the Cable Carrier channel.  

3. Close the Cover Plate: Secure the cover plate back in place.  

4. Secure the Cables: Both ends of the cables (fixed end and moving end) must be fixed using tension relief devices to eliminate stress.

Characteristics of Drag Chain Structure  

1. Basic Composition: The shape resembles a tank track, consisting of multiple flexibly rotatable unit links connected in series.  

2. Standardization and Selectivity: Within the same series, the inner height, outer height, and pitch are identical, while the inner height and bending radius (R) offer multiple options.  

3. Convenient Design: Each unit link is composed of left and right chain plates along with upper and lower cover plates. Every cover plate can be opened, allowing pipelines and cables to be placed directly inside without threading.  

4. Optional Dividers: Partition plates can be added to segment the internal space as needed, effectively preventing movement and torsional deformation of pipelines and cables.  

Core Advantages of Drag Chains 

1. Core Function: Specifically designed for reciprocating motion, effectively guiding and protecting internal cables, hydraulic hoses, pneumatic tubes, water pipes, etc.  

2. Ease of Use: Each section is openable for easy installation and maintenance; operates with low noise, high wear resistance, and supports high-speed movement.  

3. Wide Application: Extensively used in CNC machine tools, electronic equipment, injection molding machines, robotic arms, lifting & transportation, automated warehouses, and other fields.  

4. Supply Assurance: Can serve as a 1:1 replacement for market-standard products, with professional engineer support for selection, centralized procurement to reduce costs, and ample stock availability.
