Main Applications and Core Breakage Causes of Energy Chain Cables

Energy chain cables are widely used in industrial fields, even in the new scientific research and technological achievements of industrial robots. They not only have high wear resistance but also excellent bending resistance, thus boasting broad application prospects. Then, what are the applications of energy chain cables? Why do core breakage problems occur during their use?

1. Main Applications of Energy Chain Cables

The excellent performance of energy chain cables determines their broad application scope. Meanwhile, due to the needs of national production and people's lives, they are used in almost every field. They are not only applied in industrial production and modern agriculture but also play an important role in national defense scientific research and civil transportation industry.

At the same time, these cables feature highly safe and reliable performance during operation. They can work well in dry, relatively humid, and even low-temperature environments. However, cables often cover a wide range in use, so the consequences of damage would be unthinkable. Certainly, higher-grade cables will also increase the loss cost.

Energy Chain Cables

This is mainly reflected in three aspects:

• First, material selection: Different raw materials used to manufacture energy chain cables result in different performances, which is basically reflected in the sheath. Regardless of low-temperature resistance or cost optimization, the material must have high wear resistance and non-adhesiveness. Meanwhile, it must be ensured that the cable is formed under high pressure, and its high flexibility and support capacity cannot be ignored.

• Second, strand issues: Steel strands should be designed according to their movement status.

• Third, conductor structure: Conductors should have an appropriate diameter to ensure their flexibility and tensile strength.

The frequent use of energy chain cables forces people to consider their defects, which will limit their long-term development. Once there are cables with better performance, they will replace energy chain cables. Therefore, researchers must identify the causes of defects and improve them to help energy chain cables maintain a position in the market.
