Drag Chain Cable: High-Performance Solution for Industrial Motion Applications

As a professional manufacturer of industrial cables, we specialize in developing and supplying high-quality Drag Chain Cables (also known as energy chains cables) engineered to excel in continuous motion, harsh industrial environments. Designed for reliability, durability, and consistent performance, our drag chain cables are the preferred choice for automation, robotics, CNC machinery, and heavy-duty equipment worldwide.

Core Features & Technical Advantages

  • Exceptional Flexibility & Fatigue Resistance: Constructed with high-strength stranded conductors (copper or tinned copper) and flexible insulation materials, our cables withstand millions of bending cycles without signal loss or structural damage—ideal for drag chains with tight bending radii (up to 5× cable diameter).

  • Abrasion & Oil Resistance: The outer sheath is made of premium PVC, PUR (polyurethane), or TPE material, providing superior resistance to abrasion, oil, chemicals, and mechanical wear. It ensures long service life even in dusty, oily, or high-friction industrial settings.

  • Anti-Torsion & Stable Transmission: Precision stranding and shielding design minimize signal interference (EMI/RFI) and prevent torsion during movement, guaranteeing stable power supply and data transmission for sensitive equipment like robotic arms and automated production lines.

  • Wide Temperature Adaptability: Operates reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +90°C (-40°F to +194°F), suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including cold storage facilities and high-temperature manufacturing plants.

  • Compliance with International Standards: All drag chain cables meet global certifications such as UL, VDE, CE, and RoHS, ensuring compliance with industrial safety and environmental requirements in Europe, North America, and other key markets.

Key Applications

Our drag chain cables are tailored for diverse industrial scenarios that demand continuous motion and rugged performance:

  • Automation & Robotics: Robotic arms, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), assembly lines, and pick-and-place systems.

  • CNC Machinery & Machine Tools: Lathes, milling machines, laser cutters, and 3D printers requiring precise motion control.

  • Material Handling Equipment: Conveyor systems, hoists, cranes, and packaging machinery.

  • Industrial Control Systems: Sensors, encoders, and feedback devices in factory automation (FA) and process control.

  • Harsh Environment Applications: Petrochemical plants, automotive manufacturing, and offshore equipment (corrosion-resistant variants available).

Customization Capabilities

We understand that industrial applications have unique requirements. As a factory-direct supplier, we offer flexible customization options to meet your specific needs:

  • Conductor size: 0.14 mm² to 25 mm²

  • Number of cores: 2 to 60 cores (signal, power, or hybrid cores)

  • Shielding: Unshielded (UTP), foil shielding (F/UTP), or braided shielding (S/UTP) for EMI protection

  • Sheath material: PVC (cost-effective), PUR (oil-resistant), or TPE (eco-friendly, halogen-free)

  • Length & packaging: Custom lengths (from 1m to 1000m) with spool or reel packaging

  • Special designs: Flame-retardant, low-smoke halogen-free (LSZH), or high-flex for ultra-long service life (10+ million cycles)
