HELUCHAIN® Drag Chains

HELUKABEL’s HELUCHAIN® drag chains, also known as energy chains or cable carriers, are engineered to protect and guide cables in dynamic applications. For nearly 50 years, HELUKABEL has delivered custom drag chain solutions that combine cables, chains, and accessories into complete plug-and-play systems tailored to customer needs.

What Sets HELUCHAIN® Apart

• Solutions from a single source: Cables, drag chains, and assemblies optimized as a system.
• Quality and reliability: Manufactured to strict standards and tested for long-term performance under extreme conditions.
• Application versatility: Suitable for automation, robotics, cranes, tooling machines, packaging, timber, mining, offshore, and heavy industry.
• Fast delivery: Supported by a global logistics network for time-sensitive projects.
• Future-proof: Durable and environmentally friendly designs that reduce downtime and support sustainability goals.

Plastic Drag Chains
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and highly flexible, plastic chains are ideal for automation, robotics, and mechanical engineering. Quieter and easier to install than steel, they’re suited for short to medium travel distances.

Steel Drag Chains
Made of steel, stainless steel, or hardened steel, these chains handle extreme loads and environments such as tunneling, mining, mills, and offshore. With options like tube crossbars and self-supporting travel up to 18 m, they provide uncompromising durability.

Hybrid Drag Chains
Combining the light weight of plastic with the stability of metal, hybrid chains are suited for long travel distances (up to 100 m in trough applications) and environments requiring chemical and abrasion resistance. Aluminum crossbars ensure a balance of cost, stability, and flexibility.

Applications
HELUCHAIN® drag chains are found in robotics, automation, conveyor systems, cranes, packaging lines, tooling machines, offshore plants, mining, and more. By protecting cables from abrasion, wear, and vibration, they maximize efficiency and reliability in any motion-intensive system.
