ATEX chains
Safety based Since July 2003, all equipment,

components and protective systems
on ATEX
used in explosion hazard areas must
comply with the ATEX Product Directive
94/P/EC.
EX II 2GD Murrplastik EMC cable drag chains have
a high discharge capability and are used
in explosion hazard areas and clean
rooms.
Our cable drag chains are entitled to

carry the following labeling: ✔✔Full ATEX EX II 2GD certification
EX II 2GD
✔✔Murrplastik assumes liability
With our certified chains there is no
danger of being the weakest link!
✔✔Simple to exchange, certification still
stands
✔✔For areas at risk of explosion 1, 2, 21, 22

Clean room chains
Application in Clean room cable drag chains from

Murrplastik Systemtechnik are
sensitive clean produced using special materials.

The cable drag chains offer premiere
environments
clean room properties. With minimal
abrasion, and hence particle purity,
as well as outstanding discharge of
electromagnetic currents, these cable
drag chains set new standards.
The discharge capacity complies with

ATEX Product Directive 94/9/EC. Both
characteristics, the discharge capacity ✔✔Clean room classification by Fraunhofer
and abrasion, have been tested and Institute (IPA)
verified by respected institutions.
✔✔Fulfills the ATEX Europa guidelines
In spite of the outstanding discharge
and abrasion properties, Murrplastik
✔✔Uncompromising functionality
nevertheless refused to compromise
in the slightest when it comes to
✔✔Unflinching reliability
functionality, reliability and ease of
assembly.

Click lock
Click – Fast and easy
and you're done The frame bridges can be fitted and

removed quickly and with very little
effort. Position the screwdriver between
side link and frame bridge and slightly
turn it to open the click lock. Retrofitting
a cable in the cable drag chain is also a
quick and simple task. Assembly is even
simpler. Position the crossbar in the side
links and lock the click lock by hand.
With the click lock it is child’s play. ✔✔Quick assembly: click and go!
Fitting and removal are rarely quicker or
simpler without compromising stability. ✔✔REFA time and motion study conducted
✔✔Assembly without tools
✔✔Easy assembly
✔✔Incredibly simple to retrofit cables
11
Flexible shelving system
Extremely Populating the chain with cables is

made simpler by using separable shelf
variable supports
The multitude of combination options

means that the perfect shelving system
can be put together for any application.
The shelf separators lock firmly into

the crossbars and, once in place, they
cannot slip. No matter what type of
installation – horizontal, backwards, etc.
– the cables stay in the position that ✔✔Easy assembly
was originally intended. This means: a
long service life and no uneven wear to ✔✔REFA time and motion study conducted
the chain.
✔✔Lockable separators, fixed position
✔✔Quick assembly
✔✔Modifications possible when installed
12
Variable crossbars/covers
Variable Variable:
Crossbars/covers come in two alternative
crossbars/covers versions: plastic or aluminum. The
plastic version is standard for crossbars
and can be supplied in a wide range of
widths. The aluminum version can be
supplied in any width.
Fixed:
In both the plastic and the aluminum
versions, the separators lock into the
crossbar/cover and are thus fixed in
place. The separators remain in their ✔✔Flexible adjustment due to closely
original position regardless of the type spaced lock tabs
of installation and any chain movement.
The crossbars and separators form a
✔✔Fixed with lock tabs
stable unit.
✔✔Variable length
✔✔Extremely stable
13
Chain bracket
The best Simply and quickly assembled:

Metal bushings are injected permanently
connections
into the plastic in the chain bracket.
There are two types: a threaded bush
and a normal one.
Both types of bushing inhibit cold

flow properties during screwing, thus
effecting an extremely good fit. The
threaded bushing is screwed directly
without a nut.
✔✔No cold flow deformation

✔✔Fast
✔✔Secure fastening
✔✔Compact

Integrated strain relief
Economic Simple and safe strain relief
on time and
No cumbersome special design for cable
strain relief. Everything is quick and safe
with the Murrplastik cable drag chain
space system.
Special strain relief crossbars are used

on the chain bracket. Strain relief is
effected by cable ties. The cable can be
fixed on the strain relief plate on two
sides.
This integrated strain relief system is ✔✔Easy to assemble
very quick to assemble and is extremely
economical with space. ✔✔Compact design
Steel Fix bow clamps are mounted
✔✔Economical
on the C-rail integrated into the chain
bracket. This strain relief mechanism
✔✔Saves space

VAW variable guide channels
VAW variable For maximum speed assembly
The VAW variable guide channel system

guide channels is optimized for Murrplastik cable drag
chains. A range of different applications
requires a range of different materials.
This is why the VAW is offered in zinc-
plated steel, stainless steel, plastic or
aluminum.
Assembly is quick and easy:

Clamping pieces are used to secure the
guide channels to C-rails. ✔✔Quick and easy assembly
✔✔High quality
✔✔Highly economical
✔✔Tailored system
✔✔Long service life

Cables with green-yellow protective conductor (PE) are standard (exception: bus and data cables up to 0.75 mm²).
Cables with PE are often also marked with G, e.g. 3G1.5 means two normal conductors and 1 PE with a cross section of 1.5 mm² each.
Please identify cables without protective/ground conductor (PE)!
