CNC Machine Drag Chain Cable
Continuous-flex power and control cable for machine tool drag chains, rated in bending cycles.
View constructionScreened motor and feedback cable for servo axes, rated for continuous motion.
On a servo axis, the cable runs from the drive to the motor and carries a switched waveform at several kilohertz next to an encoder signal measured in millivolts. The screens are what keep that workable: braid over each pair for the feedback lines, braid over the power cores, and a drain brought out at both ends to a defined reference. We build the screen arrangement with the drive and motor in mind, not as a generic shielded cable.
A single servo cable that carries the motor conductors and the feedback pair reduces the number of moving cables in the chain by half, which matters where chain fill and bend radius are limiting. The power and signal sections are separated inside the jacket and individually screened, and the assembly can be supplied pre-terminated to your connector set for the drive and motor.
