Outer Diameter

5 mm to 50 mm 

Mechanical Protection

High abrasion resistance, suitable for dynamic applications 

Standards Compliance

IEC 60228, UL 758, RoHS, REACH, CE 

Technical advantages

Space is often limited in machinery, and cables must move along narrow pathways. Drag chain cables are designed with high flexibility and a compact structure, allowing them to navigate tight spaces easily. Their unique design enables them to bend without compromising their internal components, making them the perfect solution for confined spaces and complex installations. 

Downtime due to cable failure can be costly. Drag chain cables are built to resist abrasion, torsional forces, and stretching, significantly reducing the risk of unexpected failures. By using these cables, you minimize maintenance efforts and repair costs, increasing your operation’s overall productivity.
