Oil resistant drag chain cables are mainly used in industrial environments with frequent reciprocating motion, oil stains/cutting fluids. The outer sheath of non oil resistant drag chain cable will quickly crack and break.
Suitable for scenarios using oil resistant cáp xích kéo
1.Machine tool equipment
Machining centers, CNC lathes, grinders, drilling machines, etc. have cutting fluid, lubricating oil, and engine oil splashing, causing drag chains to move back and forth.
2.Engineering Machinery and Hydraulic Equipment
Hydraulic stations, injection molding machines, die-casting machines, long-term exposure to hydraulic oil and gear oil.
3.automatic production line
Assembly lines, handling robots, welding equipment, and environments contain lubricating oil, rust proof oil, and cleaning agents.
4.Printing, packaging, rubber machinery
This type of equipment commonly uses ink, solvents, grease, and has a drag chain for movement.
5.Port/lifting/warehousing equipment
There are oil stains and dust, and flexible cables require frequent bending and reciprocating motion.
Precautions to be taken
It is worth noting that some customers believe that without oil in the drag chain, they do not need to use oil resistant drag chain cables.
There are indeed no oil stains or other corrosive solutions in the drag chain, but during the use of the equipment, unexpected situations may occur where lubricating oil from other parts of the equipment leaks and slowly flows into the cables in the drag chain. Over time, the drag chain cables will harden and the outer sheath may break.
As long as these two points are met simultaneously, it is recommended to use oil resistant drag chain cables:
● The cable frequently moves back and forth and bends inside the drag chain/tank chain
● The environment includes oil, cutting fluid, hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, grease, etc
The outer sheath material of oil resistant highly flexible cables must be oil resistant material:
You can choose PUR, TPE, or oil resistant PVC materials. PUR and TPE have better oil resistance than PVC.
