Optimized application of flexible towline cable systems in port crane equipment

 

With the vigorous development of port machinery and equipment, flexible towline cable systems, as a unique mobile power supply method, are increasingly used in quayside bridges and yard bridges.

 

 

In the application of flexible drag chain cable systems, we have also discovered more and more problems, such as wear and core breakage of the flexible cables in the drag chain, easy deformation of the guide grooves causing unstable operation of the drag chain, easy damage to the plastic drag chain, and problems with the movement of the trolley Left and right deviations cause severe wear and tear of the drag chain operation. The daily maintenance and subsequent repair of the flexible drag chain cable system is also a problem that troubles everyone.

 

 

 

After years of practical experience, Derul Cable has summarized some solutions to effectively reduce or even eliminate these situations, greatly optimizing the performance of the flexible drag chain cable system.

 

1.A detailed and scientific plan design should be carried out before installation of the flexible drag chain cable system.Such as the position of the guide trough,the wiring method,the arrangement of cables in the drag chain,and the selection and application of drag chain accessories such as separators and cable clamps.The company will systematically design and provide specific drawings to assist customers.

 

2.The sheath of the flexible drag chain cable is made of high-strength wear-resistant materials to solve the problem of wear between the cable and the drag chain.The flexible drag chain cable uses a tensile strengthening unit,which effectively solves the problem of core breakage of data cables and optical cables.

 

3.The guide trough is made of high-strength stainless steel plates with a thickness increased to 2.5mm,and a reinforced support system is used to prevent the guide trough from being deformed by the high-speed movement of the drag chain and severe weather such as typhoons.

 

4.The plastic drag chain uses better modified materials to ensure the strength and toughness of the drag chain while increasing the wear resistance of the material.In projects where the trolley has a long moving distance and a fast speed,it is recommended to use a wheeled drag chain to change the sliding friction of the drag chain to rolling friction.

 

5.To solve the problem of drag chain deviation,it is necessary to add a floating head at the moving end of the drag chain so that the drag chain can float freely in the guide trough and remain in the central position.This floating head is patented in China and solves the problem of expensive imported floating heads..

 

6.We have specially set up a professional drag chain cable system installation team,which can perform on-site installation,online inspection,and after-sales maintenance to solve the worries of users.
