EKD SYSTEMS KOLIBRI Standard Drag Chain
For more than 50 years, EKD Systems GmbH has specialised in the manufacturing of customised plastic, hybrid and steel drag chain systems for a wide range of requirements. In doing so, we rely on a standardised range of high-quality catalogue products, which we process to create customised solutions for your requirements from one-off items to large-scale production. We have an extensive range of machinery with a high degree of vertical integration.
Our Strengths – Your Advantages
high production depth and capacity competent and experienced employees prototype to serial production complete systems from a single source reliable worldwide service As a member of the HELUKABEL Group, we offer our customers complete systems and assemblies with pre-assembled cables and ready-to-use drag chain systems from a single source.
Drag chain systems are used for a wide range of applications and travel distances. EKD Systems has the right solution for every application: from self-supporting drag chains for short distances to gliding drag chains for longer distances. Our range also includes special slide shoes to reduce wear and channel systems to guide the chains. Even for very long movement distances and high additional loads, the Marathon system is a reliable solution. Light and versatile solution for mechanical engineering. Due to their production method, these drag chains are inexpensive and quick to manufacture.
