Single-sided arrangement with offset guide channel (schematic diagram)
The cable carrier system shown here has the drive arm on the inner radius. There are also frequent applications where the drive arm has to be positioned on the outer radius. To ensure sufficient guiding of the cable carrier in this case, moving guide plates are required for larger angles of rotation. As this version is more complex, the “inside rotating circular arrangement” should be preferred.

Opposite arrangement with guide carriage (schematic diagram)
For opposite arrangements, a moving support fixture or a guide carriage has to be positioned in the channel due to the combination of KR and RKR. Coupling of multiple circular systems is possible for angles of rotation over 500°.

Due to the variety of configuration options for this installation option, we recommend contacting our technical support. We require the following parameters for preparing a solution:
■ ■ inner diameter ■ ■ outer diameter ■ ■ travel length (angle of rotation)
■ ■ single-sided or opposite arrangement?
■ ■ restrictions for the installation space? (e.g. installation height) ■ ■ cable list ■ ■ environmental conditions (e.g. chips, dirt)
■ ■ moving bracket on inner or outer radius? (inner radius preferred for single-sided arrangement)
