INV 8 Horizontal arrangement, rotated 90° (rolled)
For this arrangement, the cable carrier rotated 90° is connected to a consuming unit which carries out a circular movement. The travel length “ β ” is indicated in degrees!
ß
Application: The application is designed for circular movements which are wound on a rotating body. This type of cable carrier is preferred for smaller systems, usually with large movement angles.
A standard cable carrier is used. A reverse bending radius is not required. The winding of the carrier limits the angle of rotation to approx. ß = 270°. For the implementation of larger angles of rotation, additional guide plates are required to prevent a collision with the drive bracket. This application is practically a combination of installation options 6 and 7. Accordingly, similar configuration criteria are used.
INV 9 Horizontal-vertical combined arrangement
Our cable carriers can also be used for combined horizontal/verti- cal movements. This arrangement requires no special technical preconditions, but calculation of the cable carrier length is more complex and should be carried out by our technical support.
INV 10 Unsupported arrangement, nested
This arrangement is possible for all cable carriers. If the avail- able space do not permit installation of a cable carrier due to the required width, the system can be configured in a nested arrangement.
For smooth running, it has to be ensured that both cable carriers can move freely. This means sufficient distance between the upper run (min. 20 mm, depending on cable carrier type) and the carrier bends (min. half of chain link height).

For long steel cable carriers there is an option for positioning guide plates at the side band of the outer carrier to ensure alignment of the inner carrier.
