STR-35B Cable Chain End Connector Set
Cable chain end connector set for 35 mm-wide chain, one fixed and one movable connector.
Overview
The STR-35B is an end connector set for a cable drag chain 35 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 35 mm width used by the OP-DRG-35x75xR100 and OP-DRG-35x100xR150 chains in this catalogue - either 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-25B and STR-45B connector sets match the 25 mm and 45 mm chains in this range instead.

Questions
Which of your drag chains does this actually fit?
The OP-DRG-35x75xR100 and OP-DRG-35x100xR150 — either can use this set, since it's the chain's width that has to match, not its height or bending radius.
Are the two connectors in the set identical, or does it matter which end I use for what?
It matters — one's fixed, one's movable, and they're not interchangeable. The movable end needs to pivot or slide slightly as the chain folds; the fixed end doesn't.
Does every drag chain need one of these, or only some?
Every drag chain needs a connector at each end — one to anchor it to the machine frame, one to attach to the moving carriage — so yes, one set per chain.
What if my chain is 25mm or 45mm wide instead?
The STR-25B and STR-45B match those widths instead.
