Catenary Wire systems (5mm & 8mm wire)
Light Duty RSJ Festoon Systems
SIMBAL 'ZECA' Medium Duty Cable Reels
Cable drag chains offer a practical alternative to festoon systems in many applications.
Robotics cables are specifically designed for cable drag chain and other similar applications.
Cables carried by cable drag chains are subjected to frequent bending at tight bend radii, - standard PVC/PVC and rubber cables would have a limited life cycle in such applications. In comparison, robotics cables are specifically designed for drag chain use, standard versions stocked at SIMBAL are ROBOTFLEX T which is a TPE/PUR construction cable and ROBOTFLEX T-CY which is a copper braided screened version of the same cable. These cables are halogen free and flame retardent as standard.The extremely flexible nature of these cables means that they can also be considered for some festoon and drum reeling applications.
