INTRODUCTION
Overview
Cable carrier, also widely known as energy chain, cable tray chain or cable guide chain, is a flexible moving routing system designed to protect power cables, signal wires and hydraulic hoses during reciprocating motion. Unlike static cable trays, this modular hinged structure follows linear travel, prevents cable twisting, abrasion, tension damage and hose fatigue on automated machinery.
Our energy chain solutions accommodate not only electrical cables but also hydraulic hoses, pneumatic tubes and fiber cables. They are available in plastic PA66 and metal variants, with open, semi-closed and fully closed designs. Customers often search the same product by different names: cable carrier, energy chain, cable guide chain, moving cable tray chain or tank chain. We unify these functions into one family of industrial cable protection systems.
Core Product Range
Plastic Energy Chain / Cable Carrier
Glass fiber reinforced PA66 nylon is the most common choice for CNC machines, laser cutters, robotic arms and packaging lines. Lightweight, low-noise, wear-resistant and available in bridge open type, semi-closed and fully enclosed structures. Suitable for short to medium travel speeds and frequent reciprocating cycles.
Hydraulic Hose Energy Chain
Specially engineered for hydraulic hoses, air tubes and composite hoses. Wider internal clearance, internal separators and reinforced side plates avoid hose extrusion, twisting and pressure loss. Used in heavy machinery, construction equipment, injection molding machines and mobile handling axes.
Cable Guide Chain / Moving Cable Tray Chain
Cable guide chain emphasizes stable guidance and smooth bending radius control. It is frequently called moving cable tray chain because it delivers tray-like cable organization while retaining flexibility. Ideal for gantry systems, linear modules, automated warehouses and large machine tool travels.
Typical Applications
CNC machine tools, machining centers and laser cutting equipment
Robotic arms, automation conveyors and packaging machinery
Hydraulic machinery, injection molding and press equipment
Gantry robots, linear motion axes and automated storage systems
Printing machinery, textile machines and port handling equipment
Why Choose Us as Your Cable Carrier Supplier
We manufacture a full series of energy chain, cable guide chain and moving cable tray chain for both electrical cable and hydraulic hose routing. Custom internal dimensions, bending radii, travel lengths and mounting brackets are supported. We provide samples for cycle testing and offer matching cable separators, end connectors and support accessories.
If you need a complete moving cable management package, we can also pair the cable carrier with high-flex drag chain cables to reduce onsite assembly work.
FAQ
What is the difference between cable carrier and cable tray chain?
Cable tray usually refers to static fixed routing. Cable carrier / energy chain / moving cable tray chain is flexible and follows reciprocating motion, protecting cables during movement.
Can energy chain carry hydraulic hoses?
Yes. We supply dedicated hydraulic hose energy chain with enough inner space and separators to avoid hose abrasion and kinking.
What material options do you have?
Glass-filled PA66 plastic for most automation; metal steel cable carrier for heavy load, high temperature or long-travel heavy-duty environments.
ADVANTAGES
Protect cables and hydraulic hoses from friction, pulling, bending fatigue and sharp edges
Modular design: easy length adjustment, quick installation and maintenance
Multiple internal sizes, bend radii, end connectors and internal dividers
Low noise operation, high cycle life for continuous industrial duty
Open-style carriers allow pre-terminated cables and hoses to be loaded without threading
Both plastic PA66 and steel/metal cable carrier options for heavy-load applications
FAQ
Q: Is Derul Cable the original manufacturer?
A: Derul Cable is a special cable manufacturer. Our factory is based in Shanghai.
Q: Is the price negotiable?
A: Yes, the price is negotiable. Our price is also flexible due to several factors including purchase quantity.
Q: What is the regular MOQ for your cable?
A: Any quantity is okay to purchase for product at stock. For product with no stock, its MOQ is usually 100-200 meters per type.
Q: How can I get sample?
A: Usually you only need to pay the express freight, and after your confirmation of the product dimension and structure, we can arrange the sample and send it directly to you.
Q: Is OEM or ODM service available?
A: OEM and ODM services are both available. You can provide us with your requirement for the product and we will evaluate it to push forward.
Q: What is the regular production time?
A: For regular quantity, it usually costs about 15-25 days to produce.
