Technical Data Cable Carriers (CABLEVEYOR) － Cable carrier selection － Selection of cable carrier plastic series
Selection of cable carrier plastic series
For TKP Series, TKC Series, TKMK Series, TKMT Series, TKR Series, TKQ Series, TKUA Series
Determine cable carrier model by cable/hose installing space
Determine the inner height
Check the inner height of the cable carrier by the maximum outer diameter of cables and hoses. (See catalog )
Determine the inner width
Check the inner width of the cable carrier by the outer diameter/number of cables and hoses.
Note) The installation dimensions of dividers depend on whether they slide or lock.
Correct arrangement for cables and hoses
Notes on arrangement
- ■Provide clearance between the outer diameter and the inner width of the cable/hose.
- ■Lay out the cables/hoses in a row horizontally.
- ■Do not arrange the cables/hoses in a way that causes them to interfere with each other.
- ■Do not use so many cables/hoses that excessive force is applied to the cable/hose.
- ■Use dividers for series that allow for the use of dividers. Use a divider that allows only one cable/hose to be used in any one compartment.
Dividers
Dividers are important parts that protect cables and hoses. Separate cables and hoses and install them into the cable carrier by using dividers when possible.
Function of dividers
- ■To prevent cables and hoses from sliding against each other
- ■To prevent cables and hoses twisting and becoming kinked
- ■To reduce noise for signal wires
Vertical divider
- ・Material ：Engineering plastic
- ・There is a type that can slide in the horizontal direction and a type that can be fixed. (Refer to the pages that list the models.)
- ・Normally installed every 2 links.
- ・Normally delivered uninstalled.
- ・Case for fixing vertical dividers ：Dividers may move when cables and hoses move violently. This may cause damage the cables and hoses.
- ・For the side mount and horizontal circular travel arrangements with sliding divider types, the dividers may move down due to the weight of the cables and hoses and cause damage to the cables and hoses.
- ※For TKP45H25 and TKP58H39, fixed spacers are offered as an option. Contact a Tsubaki representative for further information.
Horizontal divider
- ・Material ：Engineering plastic or aluminum
- ・Installed on vertical dividers. * 2 or more vertical dividers are required.
- ・The installation method depends on the shape of the vertical dividers.
- ・Normally installed every 2 links.
- ・Normally delivered uninstalled.
※Contact a Tsubaki representative about selecting TKV Series/TKI Series.
