How to optimize the shielding layer of high-flexible drag chain cables?

High-flexible drag chain cables have been widely used in industrial production and machine manufacturing industries. However, the cables are often subject to internal and external interference during operation. In order to improve performance, it is necessary to add a shielding layer to the cable. The following analyzes how to optimize the shielding layer of high-flexible drag chain cables from three aspects.

1. Ensure adequate shielding to meet usage requirements
In general use environments, electromagnetic interference will reduce the efficiency of signal transmission. Under normal circumstances, the use of metal foil shielded drag chain cables can provide sufficient noise protection. However, in environments with severe electromagnetic interference, shielded cables combining braided mesh and metal foil should be used to enhance anti-interference capabilities and ensure the stability and reliability of signal transmission.

2. Choose the right shield for your specific environment
In applications where repeated bending is required, a spirally wound shielded cable layer is usually selected to avoid tearing and damage to the shielding layer. Avoid using bent cables, as bending may cause the foil layer to tear, thereby reducing the shielding effect. When designing and selecting the shielding layer, the actual use environment and bending requirements of the cable must be considered to ensure that the shielding layer can function effectively under various working conditions.

3. Meet grounding requirements
To ensure the grounding requirements of the equipment connected to the drag chain cable, it is necessary to use a large shielding layer as much as possible and ensure a close connection between the grounding point and the shielded cable. The key to effectively eliminating electromagnetic noise lies in the low impedance of the cable grounding path. Good grounding can not only improve the shielding effect, but also protect the equipment from electromagnetic interference.

4. Key measures to optimize the shielding layer
In order to maximize the effect of the shielding layer, it is crucial to ensure the quality of materials and processes from the source. Select the appropriate shielding layer material and production process, and optimize the shielding layer design according to the application. At the same time, a reasonable grounding method is also a guarantee of the shielding effect. During use, attention should be paid to the operating method to avoid violent dragging and other behaviors that may damage the cable.

In addition, attention should be paid to protection during transportation and installation to reduce friction with the contact surface to extend the service life of the cable. Through these measures, it can be ensured that the high-flexible drag chain cable can operate stably and reliably in various working environments and give full play to the role of its shielding layer.
