02 Placement guidelines for cables and hoses Configuration guidelines | Placement guidelines
Cable carriers are designed to protect moving energy lines and data lines which can be guided together in a variety of combinations. The following chapters list the guidelines which ensure configuration of the cable carrier system for maximum service life.
2.1 General guidelines
A “direction of view” is defined to allow a clear definition of the position of the cables in the cable carrier. For KABELSCHLEPP cable carriers, the view is always into the moving end.
Only cables which are suitable for use in cable carriers should be used, e.g. TRAXLINE ® cables.

Cables and hoses have to be able to move freely in the cable carrier. They must not be attached or tied together.
The following guide values apply for dimensioning the required clearance: ■ ■ For round cables: 10 % of the diameter* ■ ■ For flat cables: 10 % of the cable width/thickness each ■ ■ For hoses: 20 % of the diameter for pressure hoses** 10 % - 20 % for unpressured/low-pressure hoses*
* For diameter d < 20 mm, min. space requirement: d + 2 mm ** For diameter d < 20 mm, min. space requirement: d + 4 mm
For the installation of cables and hoses, please ensure that the cable weight is symmetrically distributed across the width of the cable carrier. Even loading can help the cable carrier to achieve its maximum service life. Weight distribution for installation
