STR-25B Cable Chain End Connector Set
Cable chain end connector set for 25 mm-wide chain, one fixed and one movable connector.
Overview
The STR-25B is an end connector set for a cable drag chain 25 mm wide, sold as a pair - one fixed connector and one movable connector.
A drag chain needs a connector at each end: one anchors the chain to a fixed point on the machine frame, and the other attaches to the moving carriage so the chain travels with the axis as it moves. The fixed and movable connectors in this set are not interchangeable, since the movable end typically needs to pivot or slide slightly as the chain folds, while the fixed end doesn't.
This set matches the 25 mm width used by the OP-DRG-25x35xR75, OP-DRG-25x50xR100 and OP-DRG-25x100xR100 chains in this catalogue - any of which can use this connector set, since the connector width is what has to match, not the chain's height or bending radius.
For a different chain width, the STR-35B and STR-45B connector sets match the 35 mm and 45 mm chains in this range instead.

Questions
Do I need one of these for every drag chain I buy?
A drag chain needs a connector at each end — one to anchor it to a fixed point on the machine frame, one to attach to the moving carriage — and this set gives you exactly that pair.
Can I just use two fixed connectors, or does it matter which end gets which?
It matters — the fixed and movable connectors aren't interchangeable. The movable end typically needs to pivot or slide slightly as the chain folds; the fixed end doesn't.
Which chains in your catalogue does this actually fit?
Any of the 25 mm-wide chains — OP-DRG-25x35xR75, OP-DRG-25x50xR100 and OP-DRG-25x100xR100 — since it's the chain's width that has to match, not its height or bending radius.
I've got a 35mm or 45mm chain instead — is there a matching connector set?
Yes — the STR-35B and STR-45B match the 35mm and 45mm chains in this range.
