Drag Chain Expertise
Drag chains, also known as energy chains or cable chains, are flexible guidance systems found in various applications. They are used to transmit power and data signals from a fixed source to a moving destination.
They protect cables and wires from abrasion, wear, and other damage caused by movement, vibrations, or environmental factors. They help organize cables and wires efficiently to enhance the operation of machines and plants. Drag chains are commonly used in industrial applications such as mechanical engineering, automation technology, robotics, and material handling technology.
Our product overview features a wide selection of drag chains in various sizes, materials, and designs to suit your application’s requirements.

Plastic Drag Chains
Our plastic drag chains are ideal for light- to mid-weight loads and are commonly used in automation technology, robotics, and mechanical engineering. Their key features include lightweight construction, durability, corrosion resistance, and high flexibility, making them well-suited for applications with dynamic movements. Compared to their steel counterparts, plastic drag chains are quieter, more affordable, and easier to install.
Kolibri Plastic Drag Chain
Kolibri Plastic Drag Chain
The Kolibri plastic drag chain is a highly affordable cable chain designed for light industries. Its integrated mounting system eliminates the need for specialized brackets during installation.
This drag chain is commonly used in robotics, handling technology, conveyor systems, as well as paper and textile machines, among other applications.
PKK Plastic Combo Chain
PKK Plastic Combo Chain
The PKK combines all the advantages of plastic cable chains into a single system. The PKK combo chain can be opened and closed, and its length, width, and height can be adjusted without the need for specialized tools. Additionally, the integrated mounting system eliminates the need for separate installation brackets.
These chains are used in a variety of applications, including robotics, handling technology, intralogistics, tooling, and textile machines, among others.
PFR Plastic Tube
PFR Plastic Tube
The PFR plastic tube is ideal for short travel distances. Its sleek, closed design balances form and function while remaining easy to adjust lengthwise.
Applications: Tooling and welding machines, sheet metal processing, and more.
Steel Drag Chains
We manufacture high-quality cable drag chains made of steel and stainless steel, designed for the most extreme conditions. These chains provide uncompromising reliability where it matters most. Our steel drag chains excel in the tunnelling and mining industries, making them the clear choice for tackling extreme challenges.
SLE Steel Link Chain
SLE Steel Link Drag Chain
The SLE steel link drag chain is available in steel, stainless steel, and hardened steel designs. It can be delivered pre-assembled with hole crossbars (SLE and SLA), foam crossbars (SLS), plastic intermediate crossbars (SLP), or tube crossbars (SLR).
Industrial applications include tooling machines, the food and beverage industry (stainless steel), mills, specialized machines, mining, and offshore industries, among others. Our experts are ready to advise you on pre-assembled, complete drag chains.
GKA Large Steel Chain
GKA Large Steel Chain
The GKA large steel chain is designed for applications requiring numerous cables and hoses with large outer diameters, as well as self-supported travel distances of up to 60 ft (18 m). This drag chain is also available in V4A stainless steel and customizable designs.
It is commonly used in heavy machinery, steel production, mills, and large-scale offshore plants, among other applications.
SFK Steel Tube
SFK Steel Tube
The closed steel SFK tube chain offers reliable protection for cables and hoses against hot shavings, welding slag, and sparks. It is a proven solution for specialty tooling machine applications with short travel distances and limited movement cycles.
Hybrid Drag Chains
Hybrid drag chains combine the benefits of plastic and metal drag chains, making them an ideal solution for applications requiring both flexibility and high stability. They are lightweight, highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion, and offer superior chemical resistance.
These qualities make hybrid drag chains well-suited for demanding environments such as automation technology, mechanical engineering, and robotics applications.
PLE Hybrid Chain
PLE Hybrid Drag Chain (Plastic Chain with Aluminum Crossbars)
The PLE plastic drag chain with aluminum crossbars is a lighter, more cost-effective alternative to steel drag chains. When installed in a trough, it slides over itself in applications with travel distances of up to 328 ft (100 m). Additionally, the integrated mounting system eliminates the need for separate installation brackets.
The PLE hybrid drag chain is commonly used in tooling machines, handling technology, conveyors, and hoists, among other applications.
