High Flexibility: Built as a continuous-flex cable, it can handle thousands of bending cycles without compromising performance.

Impact and Vibration Resistance: The drag chain cable has been designed with enhanced protection against impact forces and vibrations, perfect for dynamic applications in automation and robotics.

Extreme Temperature Resistance: This TPU cable performs reliably in both high and low-temperature environments, ensuring consistent performance in varying conditions.

Heavy-Duty Durability: Whether it’s used in robotic arms, moving machinery, or heavy industrial environments, the DC-7000-TPU is built to endure high mechanical stress.

Key Features of DC-7000-TPU

This table shows the technical details that make the DC-7000-TPU stand out as the ideal drag chain cable for industrial applications.

Its combination of flexibility, durability, and abrasion resistance makes it indispensable for any high-performance environment.

Abrasion Resistance for Demanding Applications

Abrasion is a leading cause of cable failure in environments where cables are subjected to constant movement. The DC-7000-TPU abrasion-resistant cable excels in such demanding conditions.

Thanks to its TPU jacket, the cable resists wear from friction and contact with other surfaces, extending its lifespan significantly.

This makes it perfect for applications like:

Machine tools: Where cables are constantly moving in tight spaces and exposed to metal shavings, oil, and grease.

Robotic arms: In automation, where movement is constant and wear from bending and flexing is a daily occurrence.

Cable carriers and energy chains: These systems put cables under repetitive stress, making abrasion resistance essential for long service life.

Heavy-Duty Cable for Robotic Arms and Moving Machinery

For industries that rely on robotic arms or moving machinery, the DC-7000-TPU is a heavy-duty drag chain cable that can handle the mechanical stresses involved. The cable's strength lies in its ability to withstand both the continuous movement of the drag chain and the weight of the moving machinery, without suffering from cracking, splitting, or reduced performance.

Robotic applications require cables that are not only flexible but also durable.

The DC-7000-TPU offers the best of both worlds, performing reliably under conditions of high mechanical stress while offering the flexibility needed to move with robotic systems.

Flexibility for Continuous Motion

The DC-7000-TPU is a high-flex cable designed to withstand millions of bending cycles. Flexibility is critical for cables used in drag chains, cable carriers, and energy chains, where the cable must move in coordination with the machinery, without becoming brittle or breaking.

This cable’s continuous-flex capabilities make it ideal for applications that involve constant motion, such as in industrial automation, where machinery operates non-stop for long periods.

Even after thousands of cycles, this high-flex cable maintains its structural integrity, ensuring a longer service life.

Resistance to Chemicals, Oils, and Extreme Temperatures

One of the standout features of the DC-7000-TPU cable for harsh environments is its ability to withstand exposure to oils, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. These factors are common in industries like manufacturing, automotive, and machine tooling, where cables come into contact with lubricants, coolants, and other substances.

The TPU jacket not only provides abrasion resistance but also offers excellent protection from chemicals and oils that could otherwise degrade lesser cables.

Additionally, the DC-7000-TPU performs reliably in both high and low temperatures, making it ideal for use in various climates and operating environments.

Cable for Energy Chains and Cable Carriers

Energy chains and cable carriers place a unique set of demands on cables. They need to be flexible enough to bend and move constantly but durable enough to resist wear and tear from repeated motion.

The DC-7000-TPU meets these demands, making it the ideal cable carrier cable for demanding applications.

It’s specifically designed to provide a long service life in energy chains, where constant bending, flexing, and stretching occur. Its superior tensile strength and flexibility mean it can endure the continuous movements required in these systems.

Performance Comparison: DC-7000-TPU vs. Standard Cables

As the comparison table highlights, the DC-7000-TPU outperforms standard cables in key areas such as abrasion resistance, flexibility, and durability.

This makes it the best choice for industrial automation cables and applications that require long-lasting performance under harsh conditions.

Applications of DC-7000-TPU Cable

The DC-7000-TPU can be used in a wide variety of industries, thanks to its high durability and flexibility. Common applications include:

Industrial Automation: As an industrial automation cable, the DC-7000-TPU is ideal for use in automated machinery, robotic systems, and assembly lines.

Machine Tools: The cable's resistance to oils, chemicals, and mechanical stress makes it perfect for machine tools that operate in harsh environments.

Energy Chains and Cable Carriers: Its superior flexibility and abrasion resistance ensure a long service life in energy chains and cable carriers.
