ADC Launch Project Manager_03 (AutomationDirect) asked a question.
Introducing drag chains route cables / hoses; add them to moving components and help to extend cable / hose life, reducing equipment downtime and repair costs.
igus 2500 series cable / hose drag chains feature a snap-open mechanism along the chain’s outer radius to allow convenient access to the chain’s channel after installation. The hinged crossbar can be swiveled by more than 180° on both sides, which allows for lightning-fast closure by hand and a secure fit without additional locking devices. These chains are constructed of rugged igumid® G material and support cables up to 23mm [0.91in] in diameter.
End brackets provide a secure mounting point for chains and have cable tie strain relief tabs for securing cables and hoses. This series can be designed into systems requiring 2.2m [7.4ft] of unsupported spans and is capable of extending up to 100m [328ft] in a gliding configuration. The chain is packaged in chain lengths of 1m [3.2ft] (22 connected links) and may be shortened or extended by one or more links to fit the application.
