The high-frequency reciprocating bending of automation equipment drag chain systems can easily cause conventional cables, which can only withstand slight bending, to break wires and interrupt signals during long-term operation, resulting in a high equipment failure rate. Shanghai Suoqi drag chain cables are specifically designed for such working conditions. The conductors meet VDE 0295 CLASS 6 ultra-fine copper strand standards, the insulation uses a special PVC/elastomer blend, and the outer sheath is a PUR/TPU composite, with a bending cycle resistance of ≥10 million times. The cables are highly flexible, oil-resistant, and possess polyurethane characteristics, making them widely used in automation, drag chains, and production lines. Shanghai Suoqi cables are factory-direct sales, customizable with multiple cores and specifications, available in stock with nationwide delivery. For inquiries, call 13311756197.

Product Features

Wide Temperature Adaptability: The operating temperature range is broad, from -50℃ to 90℃ for fixed installations, and from -30℃ to 90℃ for mobile installations. Some special customized models can withstand temperatures up to 125℃ for short periods. Whether it is a high-temperature steel smelting workshop, a low-temperature cold chain logistics warehouse, or an outdoor environment with complex temperature differences, the cables can operate normally.

Flame Retardant and Environmentally Friendly: Flame retardant rating reaches V0, complying with IEC 60332-1 fire protection standard. In the event of a fire, it can quickly prevent the spread of flames, allowing time for evacuation and fire fighting, ensuring safety. Does not contain harmful substances such as lead or cadmium, green and non-polluting.

Flexible structural design Core wire layout and identification: Core wires can be arranged in a straight line or in a cloverleaf pattern according to actual needs, adapting to different installation spaces and electrical connection requirements. Core wire insulation comes in various colors; for wires less than 0.5mm², colors include brown, black, blue, red, purple, white, orange, etc.; for wires 0.5mm² or larger, black wires with white numerical markings are used, making them clear and easy to identify. Cables with more than 3 cores have a standard yellow/green dual-color ground wire to ensure electrical safety.

3. Product Parameters Rated Voltage: <0.5mm² is 300/300V; ≥0.5mm² is 300/500V.

Minimum bending radius: For fixed installation, it is 5 times the cable outer diameter; for mobile installation, if the travel distance is less than 10 meters, the bending radius is 8 times D; if the travel distance is 10 meters or more, the bending radius is 10 times D (D is the cable outer diameter).

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.

How to assess the bending lifespan of drag chain cables?

Measured by the number of bending cycles, high-quality drag chain cables can reach more than 8 million cycles. When selecting, it is necessary to match the drag chain's travel, speed, and bending radius.
