Lay out the cables/hoses in a row horizontally, and use dividers for series that allow for the use of dividers. Installing capacity ratio of cables and hoses is 60% or less, but avoid stacking cables and hoses in stayed systems even within 60%, as this may cause premature wear of the coating or disconnection of the wires.

For TKP Series, TKC Series, TKMK Series, TKMT Series, TKR Series, TKQ Series, TKUA Series

The cable installing section is determined by checking the space of the cross section based on the outer diameter/number of cables and hoses. The required number of dividers can be fitted where possible.

1) Distance between outer diameter of cable/hose and inner width should be at least 2 mm or 10% of cable/hose diameter, whichever is greater.

2) Lay out the cables/hoses in a row horizontally. If stacking cables/hoses into stayed systems, this may cause wear of coating or disconnection of wires.

3) The amount of cable/hose inserted should not exceed 60% of the internal volume. (Refer to the figure below.)

4) Do not use so many cables/hoses that excessive force is applied to the cable/hose.

5) Use dividers for series that allow for the use of dividers. Decide the number of dividers by ensuring that one cable or hose goes through one opening if possible. Lay out the cables and hoses by also taking into consideration the distribution of mass across the cable carrier.

6) Quantity of dividers
Dividers are installed every 2 links.
Number of dividers = number of dividers installed to 1 link x number of installed link

7) Normally delivered uninstalled.

About the concept of 60% cable/hose installing capacity ratio

Storage of cable/hose with dividers

If several cables/hoses are stacked directly on top of each other and are the same length, the wires are crushed at the bend radius as shown in figure (1) below (because of the same length, it cannot be turned outward). To prevent this phenomenon, use a divider as shown in figure (2) below and make the cable/hose in the upper section longer than in the lower section by the difference in the bend radius, so that the cables/hoses do not rub directly against each other.

Install every 2 links. Dividers can be structurally installed to each link, so if the hose etc. has strong repulsion and there is a concern that the dividers will come off, install it to each link.

TKP series, TKC series, TKMK series, TKMT series, and TKR series are all engineering plastics based on polyamide resin.

TKP low friction/anti-wear series are based on polyacetal resin.

TKQ series (formerly TKE series) is polypropylene only for the side band.

Cablev carrier plastic series is made of chemical-resistant engineering plastic.

When selecting the chemical resistance of engineering plastics used in the cable carrier plastic series to various solvents, check if the chemical resistance of the materials in the below table are sufficient. This table shows the approximate material characteristics at 20°C, but the information in this table is not guaranteed.
Conduct a overall review of the temperature, humidity, and operating conditions for actual usage.

※Engineering plastic refers to the material used for the base chain of our cable carrier plastic series, and indicates the chemical resistance of the material.

※Cable carrier plastic series generally consists of an engineering plastic base chain and steel brackets on both ends.

Regarding the flame retardancy characteristics of our plastic cable carrier series (TKP type, TKR type, TKUA type, TKC type, TKMK type, TKMT type *), we use plastic material that meets the standard inspection certification grade UL94HB, which is based on the UL standard (Underwriters Laboratories Standards), which is a flame resistance safety test for plastic products. We can also manufacture flame retardant specifications equivalent to UL94V-0, so please contact us for details. *Excluding some sizes.

Basically, they are recommended for indoor use, but have also been used outdoors in many cases. However, outdoor use involves environmental problems unique to outdoor use, such as wind, rain and dust, so it is recommended that measures be taken, such as the implementation of covers. Please note that the cable carrier cannot be used when it is frozen. Stainless steel series are available as an anti-corrosion measure, please contact us.

Mount the moving end bracket on the moving end side and the fixed end bracket on the fixed end side as specified.

However, brackets for TKP91H80, TKMK, and TKH250 can be used even if not as specified. (Not available for special and gliding arrangement specifications.)

All cable carrier plastic series can be cut and connected together with a flathead screwdriver and a plastic hammer. A wrench is useful for stay removal for TKMK series.

Refer to the instruction manual for details.

To compensate for sag caused by cable carrier and cable mass, cable carriers will have pretension, so the product should be installed at the mounting height H' and not the total cable carrier height H.
※Please note that the mounting height for gliding arrangement is different from that of the standard product.

Click here for details

If the pretension is forcibly pressed and operated, excessive force will be applied near the moving end. Depending on the condition, change to the recommended mounting height as it may break prematurely.

Pretension and sagging will occur in the unsupported length portion depending on operating and environmental conditions. Be sure to ensure the required space (Required space varies depending on the model). Vibration may occur with increased operation speeds. If operation speeds exceed 70% of the max. allowable speed, double the required space.

Please inquire as it may be possible. The required space (width) and (height) are determined taking into consideration the following factors: [Required space (width)] Due to deformation of the opening and closing tube, the bent section may expand in the width direction (approximately 5 mm per opening and closing tube). [Required space (height)] Due to the repulsive force of the cable and tube, the bent section may be higher than the installation height.
