Standard cable carriers are manufactured so that the unsupported length section has pretension slightly when there is no load to take into consideration the additional mass. The straight type is a special type that eliminates this pretension in the unsupported length section. This is effective for when the pretension of the cable carrier is a problem in the installation space or when it negatively affects the appearance of the cable carrier. Contact a Tsubaki representative about using the straight type.

This type protects the cable carrier, cables, and hoses from chips (cutting debris) produced by machine tools and metal fabrication tools.

An antistatic type can be manufactured as a static electricity countermeasure for the Cable Carrier Plastic Series. Contact a Tsubaki representative about using the antistatic type.

PVDF type that uses special fluoroplastics as a countermeasure for outgassing is manufactured for situations, such as in a vacuum, where the production of gas from the Cable Carrier Plastic Series is not desired. Contact a Tsubaki representative about using and selecting this type.

Base chain color (black) of Cable Carrier Plastic Series can be changed. This is effective for food industry where black is not desirable, when black would ruin the exterior of product, and as a safety measure for a moving cable carrier. Contact a Tsubaki representative about using the special color type.

Tsubaki Cable Carrier Plastic Series uses UL standard: UL 94HB equivalent plastics based on the UL standard for the flame-resistant safety inspection of plastic products. However, UL standard: UL 94V-0 equivalent flame-resistant type products are also manufactured to meet requirements for higher flame resistance. Contact a Tsubaki representative about using the flame-resistant type.

This type adds stainless steel covers to the inner circumference and the outer circumference of cable carriers to prevent cables and hoses from being exposed to chips and dust.

• ■As a general rule, install a cover for the entire space when large chips and scraps will fall on the stainless steel covers because the covers will be scratched.
• ■There are gaps at both sides of the covers and between link plates.
• ■The center section cannot be fixed because the cover and link plates must slide. Install cover retainers to links without stays and ensure the stainless steel cover can move in length direction without coming off the base chain.
• ■Be sure to secure the stainless steel cover at both ends. Since the stainless steel cover does not have a mounting hole at the time of delivery, make a hole and fix it according to the mounting bracket or terminal box. (Customer construction)

This type provides 2 strands of links as 3 or more strands.

• ■Use this type when there are many cables and hoses and the standard stay width is exceeded or the selection conditions are exceeded with a large mass. (However, the 3-row type is the same as the standard.)
• ■This type can also be used to separate and install types of cables and hoses. (Ex: Signal cables and power cables)

If support rollers are required, the center links must also be supported by the support rollers

Steel parts used in the cable carrier can be changed to stainless steel parts when the cable carrier will be used in a corrosive atmosphere.

• Applicable models ：
• TK Series and TKH Series: Chains, stays, steel brackets
• TKP Series and TKC Series: Steel brackets

This is a specification that makes it difficult for the cable carrier to bend poorly by increasing the clearance between the plates of the cable carrier steel series and making it easier to discharge even if dust enters.
