Cable and Hose Carriers, Drag Chains

Cable and hose carriers, also known as drag chains or energy chains, are devices used to guide and protect cables, hoses, and other flexible components in industrial machinery and equipment. These carriers consist of a series of links or segments that form a flexible, enclosed channel. The cables and hoses are routed through the channel, and the carrier is attached to the machinery at either end, allowing the cables and hoses to move freely as the machinery moves. This helps to prevent tangling, kinking, and damage to the cables and hoses, and can also reduce noise and vibration. Cable and hose carriers are commonly used in applications such as robotics, machine tools, and automated assembly systems.
