Carriers

Design Guidelines
Vertical arrangement - hanging
Pre-tension
No or only the minimum pre-tension should be applied to the
cable carrier.
If we know the installation variant, for vertical “hanging” arrangements
KABELSCHLEPP will only supply cable carriers without pretension!
Connections
Extreme care should be taken when fixing the cable carrier to the
driver and to the fixed point.
It may be that a short support device will need to be provided!
Installation of cables / hoses
Also with this arrangement the proper installation of all electric
cables and hoses is very important.
Please ensure that:
All cables / hoses are installed in such a way that they can move
freely in the cable carrier, ie the weight of the cables / hoses
should not place an additional strain on the cable carrier.
The cable carrier has a protective and guiding function!
In order to guarantee this, extreme care should be taken when
hanging / fixing the cables / hoses to the driver and to the fixed
point.
Please be sure to take into account the fact that hanging electric
cables and hoses “extend” after a certain amount of time and will
therefore need to be readjusted.
The cables / hoses must be installed clearly separated from one
another in the cross-section of the cable carrier.
We recommend the use of frame stays with a divider system
or of KABELSCHLEPP hole stays.
With this design the last two stays (at the driver and at
the fixed point) can be designed as clamping stays, thus
guaranteeing optimum strain relief.
Note:
Randomly / incorrectly installed cables / hoses often soon become
damaged because of the continuous relative movement (of the
cables between themselves).
Flexible control cables with small cross-sections are
especially at risk!
Owing to the multitude of design options which need to be
considered, we would ask that you consult our design team.
We will be delighted to advise you!
Many installations of this kind have been delivered world-wide,
whereby travel lengths in excess of 50 m have been realised using
plastic and steel cable carriers.
