Dynamic Cable Carriers General Catalog

Configuration guidelines | Installation options

INV 5 Vertical arrangement, standing

The cable carrier is mounted in such a way that parallel running of active run and passive run is ensured. Determining the cable carrier length see page 65.

End brackets The cable track brackets have to be mounted on the machine in such a way that the cable carrier cannot bend outwards, i.e. the connection must be rigid.

Connection height H H = 2 KR + h G

The distance between fixed bracket and drive connection corresponds to the selected bending radius.

Support The cable carrier generally has to be supported on the outside at the fixed bracket and at the drive. The length of the support has to be defined depending on the additional load, the fill level, the travel length and the selected cable carrier. Depending on the version of the support, the cable carriers are very often used with a slight pretension. If a short cable carrier does not require any support and if there is sufficient installation space, the standard pretension can be used. Use without preten- sion may result in the cable carrier bending. This is therefore not advisable.

Direction of movement Often, the complete unit additionally moves at a right angle to the vertical standing cable carrier. In this case, the cable carrier additionally has to be guided laterally.

As a rule, only relatively short travel lengths can be implemented with the standing arrangement. If possible, the cable carrier should alternatively be used in a hanging arrangement. For this installation option, the load on the overall system is significantly lower than with a standing arrangement.
