TL Series Steel Cable Drag Chains

TL series steel cable drag chain is mainly comprised of chrome-plated steel side plates and extruded aluminum crossbars held together by the alloy steel dowel pin. This cable carrier does not allow unwanted relative motion between the chain and cables or rubber hoses. Neither does it deform under stress. Chrome-plated side plate gives a unique exterior. Its reasonable structure is flexible but rigid, allowing assembly ease and reliable operation. High-strength, wear-resistant copper alloy is used for dowel pin making, which enables the side plate to swing more easily with less effort while producing little noise. Such a dowel pin is able to withstand long time of use without sagging.

In addition to its utilitarian purpose, the drag chain also creates a stunning decorative effect on the machine tool it is attached to, thereby making domestic machine tool as well as equipment stand out from global competition.

Specifications
1. Maximum moving speed: 40m/min
2. When the cable carrier is moving at its maximum speed, its sound pressure level is no more than 68db.
3. Able to withstand more than 1million times of use for traversing motion.

1. This series of drag chain is manufactured by using Italian technology.
2. Custom options for bending radius or special structural design are available upon request.
3. When customer required chain width exceeds the maximum value, the production will be completed by combining together three parallel cable carriers.

Cable Carrier Selection
1. D1=d ≈0.1d(convert the value to an integer). The symbol “d” represents the diameter of electric wires, cables, or hoses.
2. Height of side plates and model of cable carrier are calculated based on the D1 value.
3. Bending radius is determined from the consideration of specific functions of the cable carrier.
I. To accommodate large-diameter, heavyweight cables, I-model is preferred over the other two models.
II. For applications that require frequent disassembly and repair or when the hose is bigger than the hole it needs to pass through, II model can provide you the ideal solution.
III. Dividing a variety of cables or hoses with different specifications is now easier than ever through the III model drag chain.
4. Depending on the number of cables or hoses, the width of internal separator or the chain width is determined.
5. If the use of cable carrier is much limited by the working environment, you can request for elastic steel straps to provide protection for the cable separator plate.
