Energy Chains® are all-plastic cable carriers that guide, protect and extend the service life of cables and hoses attached to automated machinery, primarily in mobile applications. Energy Chains can travel in horizontal, vertical, rotary, and spiral movements and can meet the needs of even the most complex applications.

Chainflex® continuous-flex cables are designed specifically for use in Energy Chain Systems®. Chainflex cables withstand the stress of tight bending radii and deliver longer extended life at a lower cost.

ReadyChains are preassembled cable carrier systems complete with cables, Energy Chains and all accessories such as connectors and mounting brackets. ReadyChains are custom-designed to the customers’ specifications and are also fabricated, tested and delivered for immediate use in the assembly process.
