Highly Flexible PVC-Sheathed UV Resistant Drag Chain Cable – Industrial-Grade Solution for Dynamic & Outdoor Applications

Engineered for the rigors of continuous motion and outdoor/harsh industrial environments, our Highly Flexible PVC-Sheathed UV Resistant Drag Chain Cable delivers exceptional performance, durability, and reliability. Combining a flexible core design, rugged PVC sheath, and UV-resistant formulation, this cable is specifically optimized to withstand millions of bending cycles, resist ultraviolet radiation, and adapt to diverse industrial scenarios – making it the ideal choice for drag chain systems requiring both dynamic flexibility and outdoor durability.

Core Features & Technical Advantages

1. Superior Flexibility for Continuous Motion

• High-Flex Life Performance: Constructed with fine-stranded oxygen-free copper conductors (Class 6/7 stranding) and a flexible insulation structure, the cable supports up to 10 million bending cycles (tested per IEC 60228/EN 50290) in drag chain operations. It eliminates premature fatigue, breakage, or signal loss even in high-speed reciprocating motion (e.g., robotic arms, linear actuators).

• Tight Bending Radius: Optimized conductor lay length and stranding design enable a minimum bending radius of 5× the cable outer diameter, ensuring seamless adaptation to complex drag chain trajectories in automated production lines, conveyor systems, and mobile industrial equipment.

2. Durable PVC Sheath with UV Resistance

• Rugged PVC Material: The outer sheath is made of high-quality, wear-resistant PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) – offering excellent mechanical protection, oil resistance, and chemical resistance to common industrial fluids. It withstands abrasion from drag chain guides, friction, and mechanical impact, extending service life in harsh operating conditions.

• UV Resistant Formulation: Infused with UV stabilizers, the PVC sheath effectively resists ultraviolet radiation, preventing degradation, cracking, or brittleness caused by long-term outdoor exposure. This ensures stable performance in outdoor applications such as open-air production facilities, outdoor conveyor systems, and amusement park equipment.

• Wide Temperature Adaptability: Operates reliably in a temperature range of -20℃ to +80℃, adapting to both indoor industrial workshops and outdoor environments with fluctuating temperatures.

3. Industrial-Grade Reliability & Safety

• Stable Signal/Power Transmission: Precision-engineered conductor arrangement and insulation structure minimize signal attenuation and crosstalk, guaranteeing consistent performance for both power supply (up to 450/750V) and control signal transmission (e.g., encoder, sensor signals) in high-interference industrial settings.

• Flame-Retardant & Safety Compliance: Complies with IEC 60332-1 flame-retardant standards, reducing fire risks in industrial environments. The PVC sheath is also halogen-free optional (compliant with IEC 60754-2), meeting environmental and safety requirements for sensitive industries.

• Easy Installation & Maintenance: Lightweight and flexible design simplifies cable routing in drag chains, while the smooth PVC surface reduces friction with chain links – lowering maintenance costs and extending the service life of both the cable and drag chain system.

4. Customizable Specifications

Available in a range of configurations to meet specific application needs:

• Conductor sizes: AWG 26-10 (0.14mm²-6mm²)
