How To Make a Realistic Cable Carrier Chain in Solidworks | Solidworks Tips & Tricks

Have you ever had the need or desire for a proper cable carrier chain movement in Solidworks? that is to say, that the chain links fold and unfold according to the movement of whatever they're mounted in. In this video I'll show you how to do this using the elusive chain component pattern feature so you can show off your skills as a CAD designer.

Thank you Sensei! Great video.

[@solidsensei]

It is my pleasure ;)

Bro, thank you for this video, very useful and visually, only after your video I finally managed to create a really working model

[@solidsensei]

Thank you so much for your support. It is a very tricky process indeed. I had my share of suffering when trying to develop this and I felt that I had to tell everybody. Spread the word!

First of all, thanks for the great video! It's a great explanation, I was wondering if you could walk me through a similar set up. Specifically if you were to pause the video at 4:02, if there was a gear placed on the curved section, and you have the same layout, how would you make both ends of the chain act according to the rotation of the gear? (if there were locked along the path in the sketch you have drawn). I am having trouble doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your support, I really appreciate it. I assume you have a mechanism similar to a rack and pinion then, probably a bike! I've never tried something similar, but there is an advanced mate called "rack and pinion" or something similar that does that job, although I don't think you need to use my chain method for it to work. Who knows, maybe both methods are compatible!

You have to be more specific because I can't find anything like that thing you meant. Can you provide examples?
