Selecting steel drag chain
1.The hole diameter of the inner cav ity of supporting board D1=d+≈0.1d(take round number). Where, d=outside diameter of cables, wires, liquid/gas hoses.
2.The height of the supporting board and the model number TLXX of drag chains depends on tghe max.hold diameter of the inner cavity of the supporting.
3. The bend radius depends on the functions of the drag chains.
(1). When there is a large load from larger calibre or cables on the drag chains, high strength model I supporting board (integral)should be used.
(2). When the size of the connectors are greater than that of the hold diameter of the inner cavity of supporting board of frequent assembly or dismantal operations are required,type Ⅲ
supporting board (frame type) can be used
4. The width of supporting board B1 can be decided according to the quantity of the cables installed so that the width of the drag chain B can be arrived.
5. When limited by locations or environment and if bracing board with steel straps are needed, please contact our company for solutions.
The function and scenario of the steel drag chain
Въведение
The steel drag chain as an important industrial accessories can be used widely in all kinds of fields in mechanical and automatic. It can keep the machinery processed in stable, and provide protection for cables and oil pipes by its unique structure, materials, and design.
The mainly function of the steel drag chain
Protecting cables and oil pipes, the steel drag chain is able to prevent the cables and oil pipes from corrosion externally, and manage mechanically. It can avoid damage of dust, moist, and chemical corrosion by wrapping of drag chain to protect cables and pipeline from friction ,squeezing, and stretching and other mechanical damage so that to prolong its span life.
Guidance avoid intersecting The steel drag chain can guide direction of the cables and oil pipelines effectively to avoid any intersecting and disordered.The drag chain can do the arrangement and fix according to its path settled to make sure the procession can be in order to move stably.
Reducing friction and noise
The steel drag chain has good characteristic of smooth that can reduce its friction and resistance during motion from cable and oil pipes, it will reduce its noise and friction. That is not only improve the effectiveness for the machinery, but also reduce the cost of maintainance.
Corrosion and high temperature resistance
The steel drag chain is made of high-quality steel, which has good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. Even in harsh working environments, drag chains can maintain their original performance and structure, providing long-lasting protection for cables and oil pipes.
Application scenarios of steel drag chains
Industrial automation equipment is applied in industrial automation equipment, and steel drag chains are widely used in scenarios such as robot arms, conveyor belts, and automated production lines. It can effectively protect the cables and oil pipes inside the equipment, ensure stable operation of the equipment, and reduce maintenance costs.
In the protection of machine tools and mechanical equipment, steel drag chains are mainly used to protect the electrical and hydraulic circuits of machine tools. As the machine tool operates, the drag chain can move along with the movement of the random bed, ensuring that the cables and oil pipes are not stretched, twisted or damaged, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the machine tool.
Transportation equipment line guarantee is used in transportation equipment such as forklifts, cranes, conveyor belts, etc. Steel drag chains are used to protect power lines and control lines, ensuring that equipment will not be affected by line problems during transportation and normal operation. Especially in frequently moving or bumpy environments, steel drag chains can provide stable protection and reduce the risk of line damage.
Steel drag chains that work stably in special environments are also widely used in working scenarios such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, and corrosive environments. In these harsh environments, ordinary cables and oil pipes are often unable to withstand the erosion and damage of the environment, while steel drag chains can effectively provide protection for them and ensure the stable operation of equipment. At the same time, the corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance of the drag chain also make it perform well in these special environments.
The future development trend of steel drag chains
With the rapid development of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, the application scenarios of steel drag chains will continue to expand, and the requirements for their performance, quality, and reliability will also be further improved. The future development of steel drag chains will present the following main trends:
Application of high-performance materials
To cope with more harsh working environments, steel drag chains will increasingly use high-performance alloy steel, stainless steel, and other corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant materials. These new materials not only enhance the durability and reliability of drag chains, but also reduce maintenance frequency and costs.
Intelligence and Integration
With the popularization of technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, the intelligence and integration of steel drag chains will become an important development direction. Future drag chains may integrate sensors, communication modules, etc. to achieve real-time monitoring and remote management of cable and oil pipe status, improving equipment maintenance efficiency and accuracy.
Customization and modularization
With the segmentation of the market and the diversification of user needs, the degree of customization of steel drag chains will continue to improve. Manufacturers can provide drag chain products of different sizes, structures, and materials according to the actual needs of users. Meanwhile, modular design will also become a trend, facilitating users to combine and expand according to their needs.
Environmental Protection and Energy Conservation
Against the backdrop of global advocacy for green environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction, the manufacturing process of steel drag chains will also pay more attention to environmental protection and energy conservation. Manufacturers will adopt more environmentally friendly raw materials and manufacturing processes to reduce energy consumption and emissions during the production process, and promote the green and sustainable development of the drag chain industry.
conclusion
In summary, steel drag chains play an indispensable role in industrial production due to their unique functions and wide application scenarios. With the continuous progress of industrial technology and the constant updating of equipment, the performance and reliability of steel drag chains will also be continuously improved, providing strong guarantees for the stable operation of industrial production.
