SONDA HXSD13 igus Cable Chain: Customizable Low Noise Solutions for Precision Automation​​

The ​​SONDA HXSD13 igus cable chain​​ combines igus-compatible durability with SONDA’s engineering excellence. Designed for​​custom shape cable chain​​applications, this ​​low noise drag chain​​ supports cables up to 16mm in diameter and withstands loads of 1.5kg/m. Ideal for medical equipment, robotics, and cleanroom environments, it delivers silent operation, flexibility, and cost-effective performance.

​​Key Features & Technical Specifications​​

​​1. Ultra-Quiet & Customizable Design​​

• ​​Structure​​: Reinforced thermoplastic with noise-dampening properties and smooth inner surfaces for minimal friction.
• ​​Pitch​​: 35mm, with 29 knots per meter for smooth motion and stability in high-precision applications.
• ​​Formula​​:
  • Chain length = S/2 + K (S = stroke distance, K = π × R + safety margin).
  • Actual installation height: H = H + 23.5mm (load capacity: 1.5kg/m).
  • Cable compatibility: Optimized for cables up to 16mm in diameter.
• ​​Noise Level​​: ≤40dB (tested under 1.5kg/m load), ideal for cleanrooms and noise-sensitive environments.

​​2. Applications & Benefits​​

​​1. Medical Equipment & Cleanrooms​​

• ​​Silent Operation​​: Ensures quiet performance in MRI rooms, surgical suites, and laboratory automation.
• ​​Space Efficiency​​: Slim profile (height: 23.5mm) fits compact medical devices and high-density setups.
• ​​Safety Compliance​​: Non-toxic, hypoallergenic materials meet medical-grade standards.

​​2. Robotics & Custom Automation​​

• ​​Custom Shapes​​: Tailored designs for unique machinery or space-constrained layouts.
• ​​Precision Stability​​: Secures cables during delicate robotic arm movements in assembly or inspection systems.

​​3. igus Compatibility​​

• ​​Seamless Integration​​: Designed to work with igus energy chain systems while offering lower costs.
• ​​Scalable Lengths​​: Sections per meter = 1000 ÷ pitch (≈28.57 sections/meter). Connectors sold as complete sets.

 

​​Installation Guide & Maintenance Tips​​

​​Step 1: Calculate Chain Length​​

Use the formula:

1. Stroke distance (S) ÷ pitch (35mm) = Number of sections.
2. Total length = (S/2) + K (add safety margin for dynamic loads).
   ​​Example​​: For a 2-meter stroke:
   (2000 ÷ 35 ≈ 57.1 sections) + K (π × 23.5mm + safety).

​​Step 2: Optimize Installation​​

• ​​Height Adjustment​​: Add 23.5mm to the internal height for 1.5kg/m loads.
• ​​Bend Radius​​: Maintain ≥30mm at fixed ends to prevent kinking.

​​Step 3: Maintenance​​

• ​​Monthly Inspections​​: Check for wear, misalignment, or debris.
• ​​Lubrication​​: Apply silicone grease every 6–12 months (low-friction design reduces wear).
• ​​Replace Proactively​​: Every 3–5 years under light use.
