Drag Chain Introduction
A drag chain, also known as a cable carrier or energy chain, is an essential component in various industrial applications, particularly where there is a need for the safe and organized routing of cables, hoses, and other flexible lines. Here's a detailed introduction to drag chains:
Protection: Drag chains protect cables and hoses from mechanical damage, such as abrasion, pulling, and crushing, which can occur due to continuous movement in dynamic applications.
Organization: They keep cables and hoses neatly organized, preventing entanglement, which can reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
Motion Control: Drag chains are designed to guide cables and hoses along a predetermined path, ensuring smooth and controlled motion, even at high speeds or in complex machine movements.
Materials: Drag chains are typically constructed from materials like plastic (e.g., polypropylene, polyamide) or metal (e.g., steel, stainless steel), chosen for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental conditions.
Structure: They consist of a series of interconnected links or segments that form a chain-like structure. These links can open and close to allow for easy insertion and removal of cables.
Types: There are various types of drag chains, including:
Model No. | Inside Diameter(H*W)mm | Outside Diameter(H*W)mm | Bending radius(mm) | Pitch(mm) | Non-support lenght (mm) | Type | B1(mm) | |

Automated Machinery: Used in CNC machines, packaging equipment, and robotics where cables need to move with the machinery without getting tangled or damaged.
Material Handling: Drag chains are crucial in conveyor systems, ensuring the safe movement of power and control cables along the conveyor path.
Automotive: In manufacturing lines, drag chains manage the cables for various assembly processes.
Construction Equipment: Heavy-duty drag chains protect hydraulic hoses and cables on construction machinery like excavators or cranes.
When choosing a drag chain, consider:
In summary, drag chains are indispensable for applications requiring the safe, organized, and efficient management of cables and hoses in dynamic environments. They contribute to the reliability and longevity of machinery by ensuring that critical connections remain intact and protected.
