In the field of modern industrial automation, wires and cables, as key components connecting moving parts and power supplies, directly affect the operating efficiency and stability of equipment. How to choose the 1 suitable drag chain cable can not only effectively extend the service life of the equipment, but also reduce maintenance costs and production interruption time. The role and importance of 1. cables Drag chain cables are used in dynamic application environments to adapt to frequent movements and bending, such as automated production lines, robots and machine tools. It is designed to protect cables from mechanical stress and wear, ensuring the stability of signal transmission and power supply. Key factors in 2. selection of cables 1. working environment adaptability: the cable should be able to adapt to the working environment of the equipment, including high temperature, low temperature, humidity, oil pollution and chemical corrosion. The electric drag chain cable is made of high-performance materials, which can resist the erosion of harsh environmental conditions and ensure the long life and high performance of the cable. Mechanical performance requirements: The cable needs to have good flexibility and tensile strength to cope with frequent bending and movement. When selecting cables, cables with bending radius and bending resistance should be selected according to the movement speed, acceleration and stroke length of the equipment. Electrical performance considerations: Electrical performance is an important indicator of cable selection, which is directly related to the quality of signal transmission and the stability of power supply. The cable products adopt high quality conductor materials and shielding technology to effectively prevent electromagnetic interference and signal attenuation, and are suitable for various complex industrial applications. Influence of 3. material and structure on cable performance The material and construction of the cable determines its durability and performance. The high-strength polyurethane (PUR) sheath material and multi-layer shielding design are used in the downstream drag chain cable, which can not only prevent mechanical damage, but also effectively shield external electromagnetic interference. Scientific structural design and high-quality material selection make the cable not easy to age in long-term use and can withstand high-strength mechanical stress. Practice of 4. Installation and Maintenance Even if a high-quality drag chain cable is selected, correct installation and regular maintenance are important steps to ensure its performance. When installing, ensure that the bending radius of the cable is not less than the recommend value, and avoid the cable being squeezed or twisted in the drag chain. Regularly check the wear of the cable and replace the aging or damaged cable in time, which can effectively extend the service life of the equipment and avoid production stagnation caused by cable failure.
