Configuration guidelines | Selecting the cable carrier
Exceeded the load diagram? There are several options if the unsupported length of the cable carrier is exceeded: ■ ■ Selecting a more sturdy cable carrier with a longer unsupported length and higher additional load ■ ■ Using a multi-band carrier for increasing the additional load ■ ■ Supporting the upper run after the fixed bracket: depending on the dynamic parameters, this arrangement can practically double the travel length. We are happy to help with configuring a suitable support structure. ■ ■ For very long travel lengths, the cable carrier has to be configured as gliding or rolling. More information on these installation options can be found from page 74. 1.5 Connection height, pretension & installation height Kabelschlepp cable carriers are manufactured with pretension as a standard in order to implement the most extensive unsupported length possible. This produces an elevation of the upper run in the area of the unsupported length and is already considered in the load diagram. The pretension increases the installation height of the cable carrier to the total value H z . The connection height H and the installation height H z are determined for each cable carrier type according to the following guidelines. Connection height H and installation height H z for plastic cable carriers The values for determining the connection height H can be found in the respective individual chapters. They are gen- erally determined as follows:
