Drag Chain Duty Cables

Applications

Our Drag Chain Duty Cables are engineered for continuous movement in energy chains, cable carriers, and automated machinery. They are designed to withstand repeated bending and flexing in applications such as CNC machines, robotics, industrial automation, material handling systems, and automated production equipment.

Cable Construction

Conductor: Extra-fine stranded copper designed to withstand repeated flexing and conductor fatigue
Insulation: Flexible insulation system selected according to the required temperature and mechanical performance
Core Assembly: Controlled lay construction helps minimize mechanical stress during continuous movement
Shielding: Optional foil, braid, or combined shielding for EMI/EMC-sensitive applications
Outer Sheath: Flexible PVC or TPE designed for resistance to abrasion and mechanical wear
