U.S. TSUBAKI CABLEVEYOR
Driving Mechanism Cableveyor is installed as shown in the picture below. Within the moving distance, it is able to move freely. The element to be moved is attached to one end of the Cableveyor (A) and the other end to where the cables or hoses are inserted (D).
A horizontal axis is always maintained between (A) and (B). The bending radius of the Cableveyor remains con- stant even when in motion. The diagram below shows this as the Cableveyor moves from A to A ’ while bend- ing evenly (R).
A constant bending radius with straight, horizontal movement provides efficiency and smooth operation.
MOVING DISTANCE AND THE SUPPORT ROLLER The straight distance normally traveled by the Cableveyor is referred to as the “freespan”. The length of the freespan is determined by the weight of the cables or hoses. If half the distance the machine needs to move is over the freespan capacity, supporting equipment such as a support roller may be used to increase the length of travel. The support roller enables the freespan distance to be extended beyond the original distance.
With one support roller, the allowable freespan can be increased up to three times the moving distance.

S: Moving stroke K: Margin length F: Freespan
With two support rollers, the allowable freespan can be increased up to four times the moving distance.
Without support roller
Note: Use of three support rollers or more is not economical. For support roller dimensions please see pages B-98 and B-99.
