A method that can effectively prevent the core wire of drag chain cables from breaking

Firstly, the selection of raw materials is not qualified

The functions of drag chain cables produced from different raw materials also vary. For example, in specific environments, they must have functions such as low temperature resistance, UV resistance, and oil resistance, which also have certain requirements for the performance of the outer sheath. If the outer sheath has good wear resistance, it will not cause adhesion. The thicker the sheath, the slower the heat dissipation, so improper material selection of the sheath may lead to core breakage.

Secondly, the conductor specifications do not meet the specifications

Generally speaking, the thinner the conductor, the better the flexibility of the cable. However, if the conductor is too thin, the possibility of entanglement in the cable during use greatly increases. Over time, there may be insufficient hardness, material wear, and even fracture.

Thirdly, production process of shielding layer

The main reason for this phenomenon is the incorrect handling method of copper wire joints when weaving or winding high flexible drag chain cables; The anti twisting function of high flexible drag chain cables is insufficient, to the extent that excessive twisting occurs, and its braided layer will break on its own.

Fourth, the outer sheath is damaged

The damage of the outer sheath is related to the production materials and performance, but if the user operates improperly, the probability of conductor scalding, insulation breakdown, and other situations will greatly increase, which is also the main reason for the core breakage of drag chain cables. Therefore, the manufacturing of drag chain cables must ensure quality and choose legitimate channels and products produced by manufacturers.

After analyzing the above reasons, the first thing we need to do when encountering this situation is to stop the operation of the machine equipment, analyze the cause of the problem, and then replace the broken drag chain cable to prevent damage to the machine. Of course, to fundamentally reduce this phenomenon, when enterprises purchase drag chain cables, they should carefully screen and choose drag chain cables produced by large brands and reputable manufacturers with guaranteed quality, which is more reassuring to use.
