Step 6

Calculate The Total Carrier System Length (Lk) (continued)

4.) Once the carrier system length ( L k ) is determined, this length must be divided by the selected carrier type link pitch ( t ) to calculate the correct number of links to be used and ordered. Always round up to the nearest link!

(L k ÷ t) = ∑ t

Note: Always remember to divide the required length ( L k ) by the selected KabelSchlepp carrier system pitch ( t ), rounded up to the nearest link, to get the correct ( ∑ t ) total number of links the system requires.

5.) If a system with circular travel action or a multi-axis (movement in the X+Y, X+Z, etc.) travel action is required, please consult the factory with the following information:

a.) for a circular travel system (typically tipped onto its side), please define (see page 2.26): ■ the center fixed point of total travel action ■ the total degrees of rotation ■ start and stop points to the aforementioned rotation ■ the moving end location (rotates along the I.D. or O.D. of the system)

■ the minimum inner operating diameter dimension ■ the maximum outer operating diameter dimension

b.) for a multi-axis travel system , please define: ■ the center fixed point of total travel action ■ total distance and direction of travel, from the fixed point location, in one (example “X”) axis of travel ■ the total distance and direction of travel, from the fixed point location, in another (example “Y”) axis of travel ■ the total distance and direction of travel, from the fixed point location, in another (example “Z”) axis of travel

Step 7 Select Bracket Style And Mounting Position

Finally, always remember to include the correct [product group] carrier system mounting brackets.

a.) Identify one of the following mounting styles and positions desired: i.)  Style: Universal, 2 piece, 4 piece, and flange are some of the common options. Availability is dependent upon carrier type and size. Special order custom brackets can also be provided if needed. ii.) Position: Position options vary and will be dependent upon the bracket style selected.

Examples of Common Bracket Types

Standard left and right hand brackets

Universal style brackets without strain relief

Standard bracket with snap-on strain relief

Standard bracket with integral strain relief

Standard bracket without strain relief
