Highly Flexible Drag Chain Cables for Continuous Movement
LAPP's drag chain cable portfolio covers all critical functions in moving systems, including industrial Ethernet, data and bus communication, power and control, and servo applications. Optimised for continuous flexing, these cables support reliable performance in automated manufacturing, mining, and industrial environments.
Why Ordinary Cables Fail in Moving Systems
Cables inside cable carriers and automated lines face constant mechanical stress. Using the wrong cable type leads to:
- Standard cables wear out quickly under repeated flexing
- Network or data signal drops affect machine reliability
- Unexpected downtime increases maintenance pressure
- Frequent cable replacement adds avoidable operational cost
