Extending the life of cables and wires is crucial in modern industries. Pre-assembled cable chains and cable chain systems from LAPP protect your cables in moving applications, helping you minimize downtime and enhance productivity. By choosing the right combination of cables and chains—and planning ahead for system usage—you’ll ensure smoother production runs, improved reliability, and reduced maintenance costs.

Make it easy on yourself

select from our standard pre-assembled cable chains for immediate on-site installation or configure your own cable chains with help from our experts. Either way, we deliver custom-fit solutions tailored to your project’s specific requirements. This “plug & play” approach streamlines installation and minimizes disruptions.

Where Cable Chains Are Used

01 Industrial Automation

Keeps cables organized and secure during repetitive motion on production lines and robotic arms.

02 Machine Tools & Equipment

Protects moving cables from oil, chips, and mechanical wear.

03 Conveyors & Material Handling

Maintains continuous power and data flow in long-travel systems.

Resources & FAQ

Plastic: lightweight, low-noise, corrosion-resistant; ideal for fast cycles, cleanrooms and most intralogistics lines.

Steel/hybrid: higher strength and heat/chip resistance; best for heavy loads, long travels, or harsh environments.

Regular visual checks for cable wear, tension, and bending radius. Ensure the chain moves freely without obstruction, and verify connectors stay secure. Most pre-assembled chains require minimal maintenance because cable routing is pre-optimized.

We typically need:

  • Application type (robotics, linear motion, conveyor, etc.)
  • Travel length and movement speed – Load requirements
  • Cable types needed (power, data, signal, Ethernet, fiber)
  • Connector preferences
  • Environment (cleanroom, high-temperature, oil exposure, outdoor)
    Providing these details ensures accurate sizing and the right chain configuration.
