Drag Chain for Aerospace Manufacturing

What is a chain drag used for?

A drag chain, also known as a cable chain or energy chain, is an important component used in many industrial applications. Specifically, in aerospace manufacturing, drag chains are used to protect cables and hoses that are required to move with machinery and equipment. Drag chains keep cables and hoses organized and prevent them from kinking or tangling, which can cause damage and lead to costly repairs.

Drag chains are also used to protect cables and hoses from exposure to hazardous materials, such as heat, chemicals, and sharp edges. By keeping cables and hoses safely contained, drag chains help to ensure the safe and efficient operation of machinery and equipment.

What does a drag chain conveyor do?

A drag chain conveyor is a type of conveyor system that is used to move materials horizontally. The conveyor consists of a series of chain links that are connected together to form a continuous chain. The chain is pulled along a track, and the materials are transported along the top of the chain.

Drag chain conveyors are commonly used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, food processing, and agriculture. They are ideal for handling materials that are fragile, such as glass and ceramics, as well as materials that are abrasive, such as sand and gravel.

Types of drag chains for different applications

There are several different types of drag chains available, each designed to meet the specific needs of different applications. Some common types of drag chains include:

  • Enclosed drag chains
  • Open drag chains
  • Steel drag chains
  • Plastic drag chains
  • Hybrid drag chains

When choosing or customizing a drag chain, it is important to consider factors such as the length of the chain, the weight of the cables and hoses it will be carrying, and the environment in which it will be used. Each of these factors will impact the design and construction of the drag chain, and will ultimately determine its effectiveness and durability.
