Conveyor Chain - Tsubaki

CableveyorCableveyor is installed as shown in the picture below. Within the moving distance, it is able to move freely. The element to be movedis attached to one end of the Cableveyor (A) and the other end to where the cables or hoses are inserted (D). A horizontal axis isalways maintained between (A) and (B). The bending radius of the Cableveyor remains constant even when in motion. The diagrambelow shows this as the Cableveyor moves from A to Aʼ while bending evenly (R).A constant bending radius with straight, horizontal movement provides efficiency and smooth operation.Moving DistanceMoving ElementHorizontal LineSectionBPitchBending SectionBending RadiusFixed BracketMoving BracketMoving Distance and the Support RollerThe straight distance normally traveled by the Cableveyoris referred to as the “freespan”. The length of the freespanis determined by the weight of the cables or hoses. If halfthe distance the machine needs to move is over thefreespan capacity, supporting equipment such as a supportroller may be used to increase the length of travel. Thesupport roller enables the freespan distance to be extendedbeyond the original distance.InstallationS: Moving strokeK: Margin lengthF: FreespanWithout support rollerWith one support roller, the allowable freespan can beincreased up to three times the moving distance.Moving EndFixed End Support RollerWith two support rollers, the allowable freespan can beincreased up to four times the moving distance.Moving EndFixed EndFixed EndMoving EndSupport RollerNote: Use of three support rollers or more is not economical.
