Steel e-chains® are available in three forms: open, closed and milled. Among them, the milling type is divided into type I and type II. Type II. Simply put, type II. is to add a process (divide it) on the basis of type I. This split step is to be able to open a part of the support plate alone, in the case of not all disassemble the support plate for cable and tubing laying, more importantly to solve the hydraulic tubing joint is greater than the outside diameter of the tubing drawbacks, steel e-chain® according to the size of the tubing customized can effectively solve the problem that the I.I. steel e-chain® can not pass through the liquid tubing.
For open and closed steel e-chains® are divided into two cases according to the form of the support plate, one is a simple fully sealed form, which can prevent debris from falling into the e-chain® ; The other is the most common open in the market, open more cost-saving, this form of steel e-chain® in the later stage of equipment commissioning and maintenance, can be more intuitive inspection of cables and tubing, will not be like closed e-chain® need to be disassembled for testing. In addition, the heat dissipation performance is better, and the cables and tubing that work at high temperatures for a long time can be naturally dissipated, and if there is a special demand, the spare parts are customized at the beginning of production according to the requirements.
