Maintenance Methods

Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of drag chain cables and minimizes downtime.

Visual Inspection

Check for cracks, wear, or sheath damage.
Inspect the drag chain system for misalignment.

Electrical Testing

Measure insulation resistance periodically.
Perform continuity tests to detect conductor faults.

Cleaning and Lubrication

Wipe cables with a dry cloth to remove dust and oil.
Apply recommended drag chain lubricants to prevent friction.

Replacement Policy

Replace cables showing signs of brittleness or deformation.
Follow a preventive replacement schedule based on bending cycles.

Installation Steps

Proper installation ensures optimal performance and safety.

Step 1: Preparation

Measure required cable length.
Select cable with correct sheath and conductor specifications.

Step 2: Cable Arrangement

Position the cable loosely inside the drag chain.
Ensure a minimum bending radius of 10x cable diameter.

Step 3: Securing

Fix both ends of the cable firmly.
Avoid tension or twisting during installation.

Step 4: Testing

Perform continuity and insulation tests after installation.
Run the drag chain slowly to verify smooth cable movement.
