PRODUCTS

Energy chains, also known as drag chains, cable carriers, or energy supply chains, are flexible cable and hose management systems used to transmit power and signals from a stationary source to a moving endpoint. They protect cables and hoses from wear and damage caused by motion, vibration, or environmental factors, and they organize them in a targeted manner to improve the operation of machinery and equipment. Energy chains are often used in industrial applications such as mechanical engineering, automation technology, robotics, and material handling.

Our product range includes a wide variety of energy chains available in different sizes, materials, and designs to meet the requirements of your application.
