Cable chains from Kabelschlepp Metool
Cable chains, from plastic ones, measuring only a few mm wide to bespoke stainless steel cable chain weighing several tonnes, are offered by Kabelschlepp Metool. The Northern Manufacturing exhibitor believes that whether standard or custom products, the mix of materials and technical know-how, offers the optimal solution for any dynamic application.
Most common in machine building and automation applications are cable chains made of plastic material – but not any plastic is fit for purpose. For specific needs there are special material options – standard polymer, Atex and Ex materials – high or low temperature extremes and also clean room as well as splash proof materials.
Ranges are available in modular design widths that can be sized in mm increments. Frame parts made of aluminium allow width flexibility and the material properties are claimed to guarantee superior stiffness over plastic, when required.
For demanding applications there is a range of steel cable chains made from galvanised or stainless steel to provide stable links. The standard design is composed of sandwiched plates, but different degrees of contamination can be managed. Customisation is always possible.
TraxLine automation cable is tested and rated to millions of operating cycles and optimised for small bending radius and outside diameters. Power, signal, instrumentation and fibre optics complement the cable chains.
Customised application specific system solutions, TotalTrax, are cable chains made of steel or plastic including all electrical cabling, hydraulics, pneumatics, coolant or lubrications hoses complete with corresponding connectors, to specification and ready to install.
