Cable chains are used wherever something needs to be moved, packaged, cut or positioned with precision. They ensure a permanent supply of energy, data or media such as air and water.
They have become indispensable in machine tools, filling systems, laser cutting machines, CNC processing machines, press construction and many other applications.
With the help of a cable chain, movements are controlled so that the forces permanently acting on the cable or media hose do not lead to premature damage or failure. The type of movement is an important application parameter. In cable chains for classic applications, the movement is linear, i.e. always along the direction specified by the chain.
Our cable chains are high-quality, reliable, offer a long service life and can also be used in demanding environmental conditions.
The main features:
Our product diversity can quickly become overwhelming. To give you an initial overview, we have divided the cable chains for two-dimensional movement sequences into different categories. The clustering is based on the one hand on the material from which the cable chain is made, and on the other hand on the possible areas of application.

Whether maximum load, maximum stress or maximum acceleration – we have the right chain for every requirement!
Our SILENT cable chain made of plastic would actually withstand a moon rocket launch. It can be used to reach speeds of up to 70 km/h and accelerations of up to 10g can be achieved.
When cables and hoses have to move back and forth in the work cycle of a machine – continuously, automatically and sometimes at high speed – absolute precision is required in the planning, installation and execution of these movements. The only way to ensure that the cables and hoses can withstand the movements and bends over a long period of time is to route them along the specified path in an organised manner.
Precise movements for maximum functionality and service life
Each cable chain is customised for your application: The combination of components is customised to your specific needs, because the individual requirements of a single cable chain system make it unique.
