CABLE DRAG CHAIN

A cable drag chain is a flexible, articulated enclosure that guides and protects power and signal cables as a CNC machine's axis moves back and forth, preventing tangling and wear. TriQuench India supplies drag chains sized to standard CNC axis travel lengths.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cable Drag Chain

Why do CNC machines need a cable drag chain?

Without a drag chain, moving cables would flex randomly with each axis movement, leading to insulation wear, tangling, and eventual cable failure from repeated stress.

How is drag chain size determined?

Drag chain size is determined by the bend radius needed for your cables and the total travel length of the axis it's installed on.
