Conversion of cable trailing systems to energy chains
No more tangled cable mess
All in all, converting cable trailing systems to energy chains offers a more efficient and safer solution for cable guides in dynamic applications, resulting in cost savings and increased operational safety.
KELLER offers you various complete packages, ranging from project planning and material provision to material replacement for old existing systems.
In order to minimize the conversion time, these upgrade kits are usually fitted with pre-assembled energy chains, such as separators, cables and hoses.
The KELLER service team will of course take care of the installation or provide you with advice and expertise.

Energy chains for the modern working world
When modernizing existing machinery, KELLER not only focuses on state-of-the-art drive technology, but also on the connection to their energy supply, which is guided through energy chains, for example. Converting an existing cable trailing system to an energy chain offers several advantages, particularly in terms of reliability, maintenance, flexibility and cable service life.
Main advantages:
Increased operational safety
- Avoidance of cable entanglements
- Energy chains guide the cables in an organized manner and avoid entanglements or crossovers that could lead to failures
- Protection against external mechanical influences
- Energy chains offer better protection against external influences such as dust and dirt
Longer service life of cables and hoses
- Protection against wear: energy chains offer better protection against abrasion and mechanical loads, which extends the service life of the cables and hoses guided in them
- Reduced tensile and bending stress: energy chains are designed to minimize tensile and bending stress on the cables, resulting in a longer service life
Easier maintenance and inspection
- Modular design: energy chains consist of modular elements that can be easily replaced or maintained without dismantling the entire system
- Easier accessibility: the cables are more easily accessible in the energy chain, making it easier to inspect or replace individual cables or hoses
- Structured cable guides: energy chains offer structured and tidy cable guides, which improves clearness and reduces the risk of errors during maintenance
Adaptability and clearness
- Flexibility and adaptability: energy chains can be easily adapted to different requirements and applications, e.g. using different separators that allow cables and hoses to be guided individually
- Expansion options: energy chains can be expanded or modified relatively easily to accommodate additional cables or hoses
Reduction of downtimes
- Fewer failures due to cable breaks: as the energy chain protects and guides the cables better, there are fewer cable breaks and therefore less downtimes
- Faster repairs: in the event of damage, repairs in an energy chain system are often faster and easier to carry out than in a cable trailing system, which further reduces downtimes as well as maintenance and repair costs
