Lightweight yet durable, these chains support the weight of power cables, data lines, and pneumatic hoses during reciprocating motion. The snap-open crossbars allow for easy installation and maintenance of cables. They are designed for quiet operation and low friction, making them suitable for high-speed automation.

For applications involving thick hydraulic hoses or heavy power cables over long distances, standard chains fail. These carriers feature robust side links and aluminum or steel crossbars. They are designed to glide on themselves or guide troughs for travel distances exceeding 100 meters.

Unlike open-link chains, this enclosed version acts like a flexible conduit. It ensures that cables remain clean and undamaged even when the machine is bombarded with swarf or sawdust. The smooth exterior prevents snagging, and the interior is designed to be non-abrasive to cable jackets.

This chain is crucial for "dirty" environments. The smooth outer contour allows chips to slide off easily. Despite being enclosed, the links can be opened (usually via snap-off lids) to insert or replace cables. It supports the cables' bend radius to prevent internal wire breakage.
