igus E-Chain cable carriers/drag chain Exclusive Suppliers in UAE & Oman
Plastic e-chains, known as Cable carriers or Drag chains, Reduce Downtime & Increase the Service life of Cables and Hoses
German Technology. 30 Years of Cable Management Solutions.
e-chain systems® are referred to as the lifeline of modern machinery. These durable cable carriers ensure a safe supply of energy and data while under constant motion. They can be made with different materials, such as steel or plastic, but metal carriers may require regular maintenance, which, depending on the location and application, can be time-consuming, costly and dangerous. Additionally, growing concern over the weight of machine components has sparked an increase in the use of lighter-weight plastic cable carriers.
- High Strength Longest Lasting Plastic Cable Carriers
- Light Weight
- Low Maintenance Costs
- Optional high tech preventative maintenance and self-monitoring systems.
