Support roller installation

■Applicable types - TK type, TKH type, TKS type, TKP type, TKR type, TKQ type, TKMK type, TKMT type, TKC type (travel speed 150 m/min or less)

*This can also be applied to the TKUA type. Please contact us if you are considering this.

■ In the case of one support roller (S1: travel length) - The allowable travel length is 1.5 times that when there is no support roller. (Excluding the TKR type Note) 1)

■ With two support rollers (S2: travel length) - The allowable travel length is twice that of when there are no support rollers (excluding the TKR type Note 1).

Note) The installation interval (L) of the support rollers for the TKR type should be as follows:

  • TKR15H22: L=0.35m or less
  • TKR20H28: L=0.7m or less
  • TKR26H40: L=0.7m or less

Installation with support plate

■Applicable type - TKC type (travel speed 60m/min or less) *If you are considering a type other than the TKC type, please contact us.

(S2: travel length) - The allowable travel length is twice that without the support plate.

Note: When support rollers or support plates are included, the moving end bracket cannot be installed upside down compared to the diagram above (as the moving end bracket will interfere with the rollers or plates).

Vertical installation

■ Applicable models - Models other than TKS type

-Used when Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) moves vertically (up and down).

-Guide channel are required on both sides to prevent Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) from shaking or tipping over.

■Inverted U-shape

Features -This is an installation method in which the unit is used upright.
- The mass of the cable/hose is concentrated at the apex of bending radius, so it is not suitable for Long travel length.
Travel length Same as standard installation
Support material amount Please contact us for details.
movement speed Same as standard installation
Guide Method
  • ・ Guide channel must be long enough on both the moving and fixed sides to prevent it from tipping over. Please contact us if you need to shorten it.
  • - If the distance between the moving end and the fixed end is wider than the standard, it will not be an inverted U shape but will be an irregular shape.
    Adjust the length of the cable/hose so that it fits comfortably inside Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR), then clamp both ends.
  • -Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) has a slight bulge in the straight section.
    Depending on the conditions of use, swelling may occur after installation, so please ensure there is sufficient space.
remarks
  • - The TK and TKH types use a special pin (horizontal pin) that reduces the bulge in the free span section.
  • - For the TK and TKH types, the supporter dimensions (height) may be larger than usual.

■U-shape

Features This is an installation method for hanging the unit.
As this is a tensile load, the selection graph cannot be used. Please refer to the selection guideline table.
Travel length See the list below
Support material amount
movement speed Same as standard installation
Guide Method

  • - Make sure the cables and hoses are floating and not resting on the arms or supporters.
  • -guide channel are installed on both sides to prevent shaking.
    The fixed end is the same length as the standard installation, and the moving end is 2 to 3 links long. Please contact us if you need to make it shorter.
  • -Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) has a slight bulge in the straight section.
    Depending on the conditions of use, swelling may occur after installation, so please ensure there is sufficient space.
