Long Travel Nylon Drag Chain for CNC | Cable Carrier

When your machinery requires reliable wire management across extended travel paths, our Long-Travel Series 38 CNC Cable Carrier is the ideal solution. Standard drag chains can suffer from sagging or excessive friction over long spans; this specialized long-travel series is engineered to maintain structural stability, smooth tracking, and secure cable protection across long-stroke axes, ensuring optimal performance for your large CNC and automated systems.

Key Advantages

1. Reduced Driving Force and Energy Consumption

The integrated rollers convert sliding friction into rolling friction, resulting in a significant reduction in driving resistance.

2. Supports Ultra-Long Travel Distances

When paired with a guide channel, the 38 Series enables sliding applications with travel distances ranging from 50 to 80 meters.

3. Low Operating Noise

The built-in "braking" mechanism optimizes the stopping action of the chain links; combined with the rolling action of the rollers, noise levels are significantly lower than those of traditional cable chains. This makes it ideal for workshops or laboratory environments where noise control is a critical requirement.

4. Extended Service Life for Cable Chains and Cables

Rolling friction generates minimal wear, ensuring that the chain links and crossbars remain highly resistant to abrasion. Furthermore, the smooth operation minimizes pulling forces and vibrations acting upon the internal cables. Constructed from nylon—a material known for its excellent self-lubricating properties and low coefficient of friction—the system generates virtually no friction-induced debris during operation.

• Engineered for Long Travel: Specifically designed with enhanced structural support to handle extended travel distances and long-span gantry movements.

• Series 38 (38mm Inner Height): Optimized inner clearance to comfortably accommodate essential electrical and pneumatic line bundles.

• Glide & Support Compatibility: Built for long-stroke applications, minimizing friction and mechanical wear over extended tracks.

• Tangle & Wear Prevention: Effectively isolates internal wiring from excessive bending stress and operational wear during reciprocal motion.

• Wide Applications: Perfect for long-span CNC routers, laser cutting tables, and extended automated production lines.
