Product Overview
EKD Nylatube Enclosed Energy Chain Wireway, 57-inch Assembly – Unused, New Old Stock
This EKD energy chain wireway is a large, enclosed cable carrier designed to route and protect cables and hoses in demanding industrial motion systems. The assembly measures approximately 57 inches in total length, 6 inches wide by 3 inches tall, and includes 20 links plus the end guides.
EKD’s enclosed chain architecture provides cable protection in environments where debris, chips, or airborne contaminants would otherwise shorten cable life. Its lightweight, high-performance polymer construction allows quiet operation and clean cable routing across CNC machines, automation lines, and long-travel stages.
Product Condition
Unused, new old stock. There are some scuffs and duct tape residue on the exterior that the buyer may wish to clean off.
Product Overview
The chain’s enclosed design shields internal lines from dust, dirt, and mechanical interference, extending service life for electrical, data, fiber, pneumatic, or hydraulic cables. At roughly 57 inches, this assembly offers substantial routing length for medium to long-travel axes while remaining rigid enough for repeatable motion paths.
EKD energy chains appear across various Nylatube and enclosed series, all built for low noise, reduced wear, and easy handling. Individual links can typically be separated, added, or removed to adjust length during installation. End guides included with this assembly support proper mounting and transition into fixed cable points.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a fully enclosed cable carrier?
Yes. The chain encloses the routing path to protect cables from debris and environmental exposure.
Can the links be adjusted for length?
Yes. Links can typically be added or removed to achieve the desired cable-travel length during installation.
What types of cables can it accommodate?
Electrical, data, fiber optic, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines may be routed within the carrier, provided bend radius and fill ratios follow manufacturer guidelines.
Does the chain include mounting hardware?
End guides are included as part of the assembly. Additional brackets may be required depending on the machine’s mounting layout.
Is this suitable for long-travel axes?
Yes. The size and enclosed design make it appropriate for medium to long-travel machine motions.
This EKD wireway embodies the quiet reliability of enclosed energy chains—built to guard cables through constant motion and ready to take on the next installation where protection matters.
