Energy chain nodig?
Wij leveren snel.

Een energy chain — ook wel cable carrier of drag chain genoemd — is een gelede keten die energie en signalen (elektrische kabels, hydraulische slangen, pneumatiekleidingen en data) begeleidt van een vast aansluitpunt naar een bewegend deel van een machine. De term is wereldwijd de facto standaard in engineering documentation. In het Nederlands spreken we van kabelrups, kabelketting, energieketting of sleepketting — technisch hetzelfde product.

Applications for energy chains

• Machine tools: turning and milling centres, laser and waterjet cutting portals
• Robotics: gantry robots, XYZ manipulators, cobots and 6-axis industrial robots
• Intralogistics: stacker cranes, shuttles, crane runways and AGV charging stations
• Off-highway: hydraulic grabs, mobile bridges, offshore installations
• Packaging & food: high-speed lines, food-grade stainless steel variants

Plastic energy chain

A plastic energy chain — available in polyamide (PA6, PA12) and reinforced variants — is lightweight, corrosion-resistant and quiet. Speeds up to 10 m/s, temperatures from -40 to +130 °C and accelerations up to 20 m/s² are standard. Suits 90% of modern machine building.

Steel energy chain

A steel energy chain is the choice for extreme loads: heat exposure (up to 600 °C), heavy cable bundles above 50 kg/m, supported travel of 20+ metres, or the presence of sparks, chips and aggressive chemistry. Think steel production, offshore drilling and heavy presses.
