INV 7 Horizontal arrangement, rotated 90° (circular)
For this arrangement, the cable carrier rotated 90° is connected to machine parts which carry out a circular movement. The combination of bending radius KR and reverse bending radius RKR causes the cable carrier to move in two circular directions in a targeted and defined manner. The cable carrier system is connected to the inner and outer rings of a guide channel. The rotating ring (inside or outside) is the drive connection.
Application: Generally, cable carriers in this arrangement always have to be placed in a guide channel. The drive arm can be positioned inside or outside. A special chain link design is required to allow the cable carrier to execute a circu- lar movement. The installed cables have to be guided in the cross section of the cable carrier with fixed separating elements or in a hole crossbar , clearly separated from each other. This is the only way to prevent dam- age in the long run. The technically best solution is the hole crossbar which provides the most secure guiding for the cables.

Due to the strong relative displacement and the continuously changing radius ratios, cables should only be installed in one layer to ensure maximum service life. 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 see page 82).
