PUR vs PVC Cable: Which One Is Better For Drag Chains?-

Choosing the wrong cable for a drag chain system can lead to frequent cable failure, machine downtime, and high maintenance costs.In continuous flex applications such as CNC machines, robotic systems, and industrial automation equipment, cable performance is critical. Two of the most common jacket materials used in drag chain cables are PUR (Polyurethane) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride).But which one is better for drag chain applications? In this article, we’ll compare PUR vs PVC cable in terms of flexibility, abrasion resistance, oil resistance, lifespan, and cost to help you choose the right cable for your industrial application.
