The drag chain system of automated equipment undergoes high-frequency repetitive bending, while conventional cables can only withstand slight bending. During long-term operation, the cores are prone to breakage and signal interruptions, resulting in a high equipment failure rate. To address this pain point, Shanghai Suoqi drag chain cables have been specifically optimized in both materials and processes: twisted pair cores with individual shielding, overall shielding (aluminum foil and tinned copper braid), and polyurethane jackets, suitable for high-frequency repetitive bending in drag chain applications. In practical applications, the products are recognized by customers in the drag chain, automation, and production line fields for their shielding, high flexibility, and anti-interference performance. Customization according to drawings and direct shipping of stock are supported. For more details, please contact 13311756197.

Product Features

Resistant to various harsh environments: The outer cover uses imported high-end PUR material, passed ISO 1817 oil resistance tests, and is highly resistant to grease, coolant, etc. It is not easily eroded, suitable for machinery processing, food processing, and other oil-contaminated work scenarios.

Cold and heat resistant: Wide working temperature range, -50℃ ~ 90℃ for fixed installation, -30℃ ~ 90℃ for mobile installation. Some special models can withstand short-term temperatures up to 125℃, adaptable to different temperature environments such as high-temperature workshops, cold storage, and outdoor settings, suitable for industries like steel smelting and cold chain logistics.

Flame retardant: Flame retardant rating reaches V0, meets the IEC 60332-1 fire protection standard, and is halogen-free. In case of fire or other emergencies, it can effectively prevent the spread of flames, protecting personnel and equipment, suitable for places with high fire safety requirements.

Long lifespan: Thanks to high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes, the cable has a long dynamic bending life in drag chain systems, with some specifications reaching over 10 million cycles (Test standard: DIN VDE 0295), reducing replacement frequency, lowering maintenance costs, and improving equipment operation efficiency.

Flexible selection: Supports multiple core counts (4 ~ 36 cores), and custom shielding options (single/double layer) and jacket materials (PUR black/gray, TPE orange, etc.) based on customer requirements, meeting the diverse needs of different equipment and usage scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do drag chain cables use CLASS 6 conductors?

CLASS 6 is an ultra-fine multi-stranded finely twisted conductor with much greater flexibility than ordinary conductors, able to withstand tens of millions of bends without easily breaking the core.

What is the purpose of the shielding layer in a drag chain cable?

Tin-plated copper braided aluminum foil composite shielding suppresses electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable transmission of servo and encoder signals at high speeds.
