Cable drag chains

Enclosed metal carriers(SUS430)

Product Definition and Uses
The enclosed metal cable carriers(SUS430) is a fully enclosed cable and conduit protection component with a stainless steel structure, primarily used in CNC machine tools, five-axis metal cutting machining centers, and high-end automated equipment. Its main function is to protect wires and conduits from friction, cutting fluid splashes, or external contamination during equipment operation, while maintaining the cleanliness and professional appearance of the equipment.
The enclosed metal cable carriers features a floating structure design, extending and retracting synchronously with the equipment's stroke. Even under prolonged cutting fluid splashing and high-frequency movement, it maintains its protective effect and is resistant to rust, making it particularly suitable for high-end machine tools with high requirements for appearance, durability, and reliability.
When is it appropriate to use an Enclosed metal carriers(SUS430)?
In practical equipment design and high-end machine tool applications, enclosed metal carriers(SUS430) are particularly suitable for the following conditions:
1. Equipment requires consistent appearance and overall design.
2. Electrical wires or conduits need fully enclosed protection.
3. The machining environment is subject to long-term splashing of cutting fluid or coolant.
4. High-frequency reciprocating motion requires reduced friction and noise.
5. High-end CNC or five-axis machining centers.
Compared to general cable chains or exposed guards, enclosed metal carriers(SUS430) offer significant advantages in terms of protective integrity, durability, and visual appeal.
