You don't buy cable chains off the shelf
Nowadays, there are countless applications in which moving machine parts need to be continuously supplied with energy, data or media such as air, water or oil. Elements known as cable chain systems are installed in a wide range of machines, and used in product manufacturing as well as outside of purely industrial environments, such as for hall gates. Our ÖLFLEX® CONNECT cable chain configurator guides you through your cable chain planning step by step. You decide whether the cable chain should be delivered fully equipped with cables, with separate loose cables or without cables at all.
Configuration options
- LAPP cables (power and control cables or data cables)
- Select media hoses where applicable
- Horizontal, vertical or sliding application (with guide channel)
- Fixed point placement
- Travel distance
- Distance to the fixed point
- Minimum bending radius (depending on the selected cables)
- Choose material for the chain: plastic or steel (alternatively, frame rods and covers made of aluminium are also available for some models)
- Select the SILVYN® CHAIN model
Note
It is not necessary to select exclusively LAPP cables for the configuration of a cable chain. However, if no cables need to be added, it is advantageous if you can specify the expected cable load in order to configure a cable chain suitable for your application.
