ORTON makes Cable Drag Chains are used for conveying flexible
cables/hoses etc. to movable units with maximum reliability. The
construction of these chains is such that they cannot bend below a fixed
minimum radius which is decided based on the cable/hose size.
ORTON make Cable Drag Chains can be used for conveying cables and
hoses. In case of hoses, the medium can be air, liquid or any gaseous
matter. These chains can be used for horizontal applications, vertical
applications, circular movements as well as combined horizontal and
vertical movements.
- Very low maintenance required as the motors are extremely robust
in construction & reliable in operation.
- Large magnitude of force can be achieved
- Amplitude of vibrations can be varied by changing the position of
the centrifugal weights in standstill condition of the motor.
- Extremely simple to connect and operate.
- Depending on the application, motors with different RPM's can be
selected.
ORTON cable drag chains can be supplied for wide ranges of length
of travel, number of cables and hoses, acceleration and speed
requirements, existing space conditions, movements and special work
environments.
The stay design offers the best way of carrying
flexible cables/hoses in a cable drag chain, because each cable/hose is
guided in a separate hole in the neutral axis.
- Unsplit hole stay - Here the stay is in a single piece
- split hole stay - Here the stay is made up of 2 separate halves.
The main advantage of split hole type of stay is that the cable can
first be laid on the bottom half of the stay and after they are in
position, the top half can be clamped.
ORTON Cable Drag Chains are supplied with four/eight
connecting angles depending on the model. Where necessary, the
connecting angles can be positioned with the fastening holes to the
outside of the chain width.
If a clean, flat surface is not available, then a
trough is required to guarantee optimum operation of the cable drag
chain.
ORTON Cable Drag Chains with steelband coverings are
used where is necessary to protect the cables/hoses from hot chips and
dust etc.
