ELEKTROMAG Cable Drag Chains enable the conveyance of flexible cables/hoses etc. to movable units with maximum reliability.

The ELEKTROMAG cable drag chains are so constructed that they cannot bend below a fixed minimum radius to suit the cable or hose.

ELEKTROMAG cable drag chains are not only used for cable leads but also for hoses conveying gaseous, liquid or pulverised media. Single twisted leads can be conducted close to one another.

Besides the normal horizontal movement, the ELEKTROMAG cable drag chain can be used in vertical, circular or combined horizontal and vertical applications.

ELEKTROMAG cable drag chains can be applied to movable units with minimum preparation.

ELEKTROMAG cable drag chains offer the following advantages:

• Avoidance of mechanical strain on the cables/hoses no tensile stress or compression, no frictional wear as there is no relative movement between the cables/hoses and the cable drag chain, no bending below an established radius, no crushing, buckling or forming of loops, or torsion strain.
• Long life of cables and hoses
• Down time losses avoided
• Accident safe
• Minimum maintenance
• Good appearance

ELKTROMAG cable drag chains can fulfill practically all individual constructive requirements. This applies to the length of travel, the number of cables and hoses, acceleration and speed requirements, existing space conditions, movements and special work environments.

INSTRUCTION FOR SELECTION OF APPROPRIATE ELEKTROMAG CABLE DRAG CHAIN

---

When planning a ELEKTROMAG Cable Drag Chain application, it is advisable to proceed as follows:

Required technical data

1. Intended function
2. Length of travel
3. Max. acceleration or deceleration
4. Speed of travel
5. Frequency of travel
6. Number and external diameter of the cables/hoses to be installed. Types of hoses and cables(with/ without fittings)
7. Required bending radius
8. Weight in kg/m of the cables and hoses (including hose content)
9. Width available for the chain
10. When used on cranes:side play of drive arm in mm
11. Working environment

OVERVIEW OF TYPES (Measurements in mm)

---

Key : B_k= Width of drag chain B_st= Width of stay c = Distance of bore holes in hole stays d = Cable/hose diameter D = Diameter of bore holes in hole stays,

or clearance height in frame stays.

D = 1.1 d for electric cables

D = 1.2 d for hoses

Minimum allowance = 2mm

h_G= Chain link height KR = Bending radius L_f= Self-supporting chain length L_k= Length of drag chain L_s= Unit's travel length t_G= Chain pitch s_T= Thickness of divider stays H_Z= Clearance height H_Z= 2KR + h_G+ Z (z= App. 10mm per Mt of Chain length)

The width of chain B_k:

Hole stay : sum of holes D + Sum of distance between holes c + Fixed addition

Frame stay : sum of cable/hose diameters d + 0.10 d + sum of dividers s_T+ fixed addition

If these data are available, check on

1. Which chain type depending on the load is applicable for this travel length. (Diagram)

   Unsupported length of chain = L_s/ 2 (Fixed point in centre of length of travel)

2. The required hole diameter D should be 10 percent greater than the cable/hose diameter. The minimum clearance must be 2 mm Select type of stay Unsplit hole stay - Split hole stay - or Frame stay
3. Select a suitable bending radius which is in excess of the largest minimum bending radius specified by the manufacturer for the cables/hoses.

In the event of conditions which are not covered in the catalogue, concerning length of chain, width of chain, speed of travel etc. please consult ELEKTROMAG.

Characteristics and Applications cable drag chain

1) The cable drag chain can be used for such locations where repciprocating motions are required so that internally installed cables,oil pipes,gas tubes and water tubes can be draged and protected.

2) Each joint of cable drag chain can be opened up so as to facilitate repairs and maintenance.It gives low noises and is of anti-wearing while running.It can also be operated under high speed.

3)The cable drag chain have already extensively used in digital-controlled machine tools,electronic epuipement,machinery for stone industry,moulding injectors,manipulators,lifting and transport equipment and automatic warehouses,etc.
