System for long travel lengths (gliding in a guide channel) Plastic cable carriers can be used for travel lengths far over 100 m with the arrangement “rotated 90° – straight”. Over a period of more than 60 years, we have built multiple systems with the arrangement “single-sided” or “opposite” with or without special auxiliary fixtures.

The cable carrier “rotated 90°” for long travel lengths must be placed in a guide channel. The material and texture of the channel base must be selected so they ensure low-wear travel with the lowest possible friction forces. For long travel lengths, the cable carriers are used without pretension. For steel cable carriers , corresponding gliding and guiding elements are mounted on the outside and/or inside of the side band, preventing grinding along the channel walls and ensuring smooth running of the system.
Support and guiding elements (combination examples):
Glide pucks on upper and lower side band
Glide pucks on the top and rollers on the lower side band
Rollers on the top and double steer- ing rollers on the lower side band
