Points to note before selecting Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR)

About cables and hoses

Cable and hose types

Use cables and hoses for transportation that are highly flexible and have excellent resistance to repeated bending and abrasion. Also, do not use Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) and hoses with wire braid coverings, as sliding will damage both the cable carrier and the wire braid.

Allowable bending radius of cables and hoses

For the allowable bending radius of cables and hoses, please apply the value when they move (repeatedly articulate). Consult with the cable or hose manufacturer.
Reference: Please use the following as a guide.

■ In the case of cables
Allowable bending radius of the cable: r ≥ Cable outer diameter x 7.5 * (*Depending on cable type)

■ In the case of a hose
Allowable bending radius of the hose: r≧Outer diameter of the hose x 9 * (*Varies depending on hose type)
Please use a larger value if the cable or hose is used frequently, has high rigidity, or is a hydraulic hose.

Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) bending radius

bending radius of Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) should be larger than the allowable bending radius of the cables and hoses.The larger bending radius bending radius Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) is, the more it will contribute to reducing wear on the cables and hoses and extending the life of the entire device, so select bending radius for Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) that is as large as possible.

Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) 's environmental resistance in various atmospheres

About temperature

Please refer to each product page for the operating temperature range. However, the service life may be shortened depending on the conditions of use. Also, in a low-temperature, humid atmosphere, Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) may freeze and not bend smoothly. Forcing Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) to operate in this state may damage it, so be sure to thoroughly remove any moisture from the frozen area before operating it.

Moisture and humidity

Generally, they can be used in atmospheric environments (including outdoors). However, in environments with high moisture content, high humidity, or exposed to wind and rain, we recommend replacing steel parts with stainless steel.

Outdoor installation (effects of ultraviolet rays)

Generally, it can be used outdoors. However, the "Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) Plastic Series" deteriorates over time, so its lifespan may be shortened depending on the conditions and duration of use.
