PUR drag chain cables have become an indispensable key component in automation equipment due to their excellent performance and wide range of applications. Proper maintenance and care are crucial to extend the lifespan of PUR drag chain cables. Here are some key maintenance elements:
Regular cleaning is the primary task in maintaining PUR drag chain cables. Using a soft brush and dry cloth to remove dust, oil, and other debris from the cable surface helps to reduce surface friction and prevent excessive wear. Keeping the cable dry is also critical, as a moist environment can lead to insulation degradation and even cause short circuits and other safety hazards. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the humidity of the surrounding environment during cleaning to ensure the cable is kept dry.
Regular inspection of the appearance and internal structure of PUR drag chain cables is an important means of detecting potential problems in a timely manner. Pay attention to any visible damage, scratches, wear, and exposed conductors. If any issues are found, the damaged parts should be promptly replaced to prevent further damage. The cable's fixation should also be checked to ensure it is secure and will not become loose or detached, avoiding additional wear caused by cable movement or oscillation.
The installation and routing method of PUR drag chain cables significantly impact their lifespan. During installation, ensure that the cable length matches the drag chain length to avoid accumulation and jamming caused by cables being too long or too short. Cables should be laid side by side loosely within the drag chain, ideally separated in order to reduce friction and compression between cables. The fixation points of the cable should be firm and reliable to ensure the cable does not undergo unnecessary movement and twisting during operation.
When necessary, regularly lubricate PUR drag chain cables to reduce friction and wear. When selecting an appropriate lubricant, ensure it will not react incompatibly with the cable materials to avoid damaging the cable. For special working environments (e.g., high temperature, chemical corrosion), specialized lubricants and cleaners suitable for these conditions should be selected to enhance the cable's durability and performance.
Overload operation is one of the major causes of PUR drag chain cable damage. During use, ensure the drag chain cables operate within the prescribed current load range, avoiding prolonged overload operation. Additionally, choose cables that are suited for special conditions such as oil resistance and corrosion resistance based on the characteristics of the working environment to increase durability.
Periodic hotspot detection using techniques such as infrared thermography helps identify potential faults and prevent possible issues. This preventive maintenance measure can quickly identify and address abnormal cable conditions, preventing fault expansion and improving the reliability of PUR drag chain cables.
By adopting the above maintenance measures, the lifespan of PUR drag chain cables can be effectively extended, ensuring the stable operation of automation equipment.
