Cable for linear reciprocating motion inside a cable carrier. Flex life is set by the jacket compound, not by the conductor: 3,000,000+ cycles with nitrile, 5,000,000+ with polyurethane.
Built for the duty cycle that breaks ordinary flexible cable: constant back-and-forth travel inside a carrier, at speed, for millions of cycles. Conductor stranding, lay length and jacket compound are selected together — a soft jacket over a coarse strand will fail at the jacket long before the copper does. Both NBR and PUR jackets are available on the same conductor construction, so the jacket is a duty-cycle decision rather than a separate product.

Drag chain cable buying questions.
3,000,000+ cycles with a nitrile (NBR) jacket and 5,000,000+ cycles with a polyurethane (PUR) jacket, on the same conductor construction. Flex life is governed by the jacket compound.
NBR for general drag chain duty and oil contact, operating from -15 to +70 °C. PUR where the cycle count is high, abrasion is severe, or the installation runs cold — it reaches 5,000,000+ cycles and stays flexible from -40 to +80 °C.
Send the carrier radius and the travel length. Bend radius is specified per construction rather than published as a fixed figure, because strand count and jacket thickness both move it. With the carrier radius and travel we confirm the construction before production.
Yes. An optional tinned copper braid is available on the same construction for drives and servo applications where EMI matters.
