HELUCHAIN® MULTISPEED®–The Perfect Cable for Your Drag Chain
The HELUCHAIN® MULTISPEED® series of cable carrier cables are specially designed for highly dynamic, cable carrier applications. These control, connection, and motor cables are available in a number of conductor cross sections, three different jacket materials, and both shielded and unshielded—a comprehensive selection containing the optimum cable for every application.
The HELUCHAIN® MULTISPEED® cables are all constructed according to the same principle and are optimized for continuously moving applications in cable carriers. A gusset-filling, extruded jacket ensures that the individual conductors are stable and prevents mechanical damage through abrasion or bending, especially with long travel distances. Cable variations with seven conductors or more are stranded in bundles to equally distribute forces. This results in a significantly improved lifespan, even with demanding movements and millions of bending cycles.
In order to customize these drag chain cables perfectly for each application, customers have the choice between three different jacket materials: PVC is resistant to water, acids, and cleaning agents and is economically priced. PUR is oil resistant, notch resistant, and well suited for long travel distances and quick accelerations. For tight bending radii, low temperatures, and outdoor and heavy-duty applications, the light and resilient TPE is an ideal choice. All cables are also available in variants with tinned-copper, braided shielding, which improves their EMC qualities.
A highlight of the MULTISPEED® series is its integrated ripcord, which makes it possible to effortlessly strip the cables without the need for special tools. A simple circumferential cut is enough to expose the conductors in the desired length, making installation easier and saving time and money. This safe cable stripping technology even minimizes the risk of damaging the conductors, which could result in expensive disruptions and downtime.
The HELUCHAIN® MULTISPEED® cables are available ex stock in a large number of cross sections and conductor counts. All cables from this series have UL and CSA approvals, meaning export-oriented mechanical and plant engineers can use these internationally, avoid double inventory, and simplify documentation. On request, HELUKABEL will assemble the cables with the required plugs and, as a systems supplier, also supplies complete, pre-installed and installation-ready, steel, stainless-steel, and plastic drag chains—from custom-designed solutions to series products.
