拖链
(拖链中英文介绍)

In 1953, Dr Gilbert Waninger invented the steel drag chain in Germany. In 1954 KABELSCHLEPP – known today as one of the world leaders where cable carriers, guideway protection and conveyor systems are concerned – introduced its steel drag chains to the market for the first time. The inventor, Dr Gilbert Waninger and the owner of the company Dr Waldrich recognized the great potential of these chains.

1953年，德国的Dr Gilbert Waninger教授发明了世界上条钢制拖链。KABELSCHLEPP佳宝来公司的持有人Dr Waldrich认为拖链是一个全新的市场，可以创造巨大的需求，于1954年开始向市场推广条拖链。

From the original steel prototype there developed a variety of steel and plastic models offering a solution for every area of application. Thus for example in 1967 KABELSCHLEPP invented the first solid plastic cable carrier comprising of one-piece injection-moulded links – just one of many innovations. Whether for systems which are very lightweight, moveable in three-dimensions, link-free or extremely long cable carriers, KABELSCHLEPP has remained one of the technology leaders in the market to the present day. Its innovations have over the last 50 years often made KABELSCHLEPP the pacemaker for the industry, and the good idea of 1954 has led to the development of a continually growing branch of it.

现在条原创的钢制拖链样板已经改进为形形色色的钢制和塑料拖链，广泛应用于很多领域。KABELSCHLEPP佳宝来公司又成功的创造了更多的：轻便型拖链，３Ｄ拖链，无连接拖链。５０多年前的一个ＩＤＥＡ创造了现在的庞大市场。

拖链，一般应用在机床机械等的电缆、油管、气管、水管、风管上，起牵引和保护作用。

拖链的使用早起源于德国，后来国内引用并创新结构。

现在的拖链已经广泛使用在机床上，保护了电缆等也使机床整体看起来更美观。

拖链，矩形金属软管，防护套，波纹管、包塑金属软管都属于线缆防护产品，拖链分为钢制拖链，塑料拖链。钢制拖链由钢铝组合而成可以定做，塑料拖链又称工程拖链，坦克链。

拖链根据使用环境和使用要求的不同分为桥式拖链，全封闭拖链，半封闭拖链三种。
