Support and Guidance Systems
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS - Section 6
KabelSchlepp support and guidance systems & accessories help ensure that cable carrier systems have the proper support and alignment as well as a uniform and obstruction free operating surface. SUPPORT TRAYS - For use with nylon polymer or steel carrier systems For proper operation, when the cable carrier is in a self-supporting chain arrangement
the cable carrier must lie down, during the retracting mode, on a clear, flat, and unobstructed surface. If these conditions do not exist, a support tray is required. Support trays can be ordered in standard widths and lengths Off The Shelf ( OTS ) or custom Made To Order ( MTO ) to suit a specific need. For more information or to discuss the details of your application, please contact the KabelSchlepp design team at 800-443-4216 or submit a request via our website at www.kabelschlepp.com.

Support tray designs and the materials used in their fabrication can vary widely. KabelSchlepp standard support trays are made of zinc plated steel and are available OTS for many standard sizes in a single piece tray design. Split rail two piece tray designs are also popular.

Calculating Support Tray Length (when standard connecting brackets are used)
(when standard connecting brackets are used)
LA* = (LS ÷ 2) + UB + l1 * When strain relief is used, the Support Tray length must be extended accordingly.
B1 min ≈ BK + 0.25 (6.4)
Abbreviations UB = Depot length I1 = End connection/fixed point length BK = Overall width of cable carrier
