Install cables and hoses in a horizontal row, and install dividers if they have them. The storage volume ratio for cables and hoses should be 60% or less, but even if it is within 60%, stacking them in multiple layers may cause premature wear of the insulation or breakage, so please avoid this.

For TKP, TKC, TKMK, TKMT, TKR, TKQ, and TKUA types

The cable storage area is determined by checking the cross-sectional space based on the outer diameter and number of cables and hoses. If partition plates can be installed, the required number can be installed.

1) The gap between the outer diameter and inner width of the cable/hose must be at least 2 mm or 10% of the cable/hose diameter, whichever is larger.

2) Install cables and hoses in a single horizontal row. Stacking cables and hoses in multiple layers may cause the insulation to wear out or break.

3) Insert the cable or hose to a volume of 60% or less of the internal volume. (See the diagram below.)

4) The number of cables and hoses should be within the range that does not apply excessive force to the cables and hoses.

5) If the unit has dividers, install them. Decide the number of dividers so that one cable can fit through each hole, if possible.
When arranging cables and hoses, please also take into consideration the balance of weight on the left and right.

6) Number of partitions
Dividers are installed every two links.
Number of dividers = Number of dividers that can be attached to one link x Number of attached links

7) The partition plate is partially fed.

The concept behind a 60% cable/hose storage volume ratio

Storing cables and hoses using partitions

If multiple cables/hoses are stacked directly on top of each other and are all the same length, the wires will be crushed at the bend radius as shown in the diagram below (1). (Because they are all the same length, they cannot be routed outside.) To prevent this, use a partition as shown in the diagram below (2), and make the upper cables/hoses longer than the lower cables/hoses by the difference in bending radius to prevent the cables/hoses from rubbing against each other.

Please install it every two links. However, since it is structurally possible to install it on each link, if there is a strong resistance from the hose or other items and you are concerned about the partition plate coming off, please install it on each link.

The TKP, TKC, TKMK, TKMT, and TKR types are all engineering plastics based on polyamide resin.

TKP low friction and low wear specifications are based on polyacetal resin.

For the TKQ type (formerly the TKE type), only the side bands are made of polypropylene.

Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) Plastic Series uses engineering plastic (engineering plastic) that has excellent chemical resistance.

When selecting Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR), please check the table below to see if the material has sufficient chemical resistance to various solvents for the engineering plastics used in Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) Plastic Series.
This table shows the degree of material properties at 20°C, but does not represent the degree of guarantee.
When actually using the product, please consider the humidity, temperature, and other conditions of use.

* Engineering plastic refers to the material used for the base chain of our cable carrier plastic series, and indicates the chemical resistance of the material.

* Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) Plastic Series generally consists of an engineering plastic body and steel fittings on both ends.

The flame retardancy characteristics of our Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) Plastic Series (TKP, TKR, TKUA, TKC, TKMK, TKMT *) are based on the UL standard (Underwriters Laboratories Standards), which is a flame resistance safety test for plastic products, and plastic materials equivalent to UL94HB standard are used. We can also manufacture flame retardant specifications equivalent to UL94V-0, so please contact us for details. *Excluding some sizes.

It is generally recommended for indoor use, but has also been used outdoors.
However, outdoor use presents unique environmental issues such as wind, rain, and dust, so we recommend taking measures such as installing a cover. Please note that Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) cannot be used when frozen. Stainless steel specifications are available as a rust prevention measure, so please contact us for details.

Attach the moving end bracket to the moving end and Fixed end bracket to the fixed end as specified.

However, TKP91H80, TKMK, and TKH250 can be used even if not specified. (Special-shaped products and Gliding arrangement specification products cannot be used.)

Tsubaki's lowest dust-generating "CLEANVEYOR," the "FLATVEYOR" self-standing flat cable system ideal for mass production equipment, the "FLATVEYOR ZP specification" that makes it easy to change or install cables later, and the "TKR type" that is low in dust and noise due to bending caused by flexure. There is also the TKP-MW specification, the most versatile TKP type, which uses a high-sliding engineering plastic material and contributes to improved protection and cleanliness for cables.

All Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) Plastic Series can be cut and spliced using a flathead screwdriver and plastic hammer.
For the TKMK series, it is useful to have a wrench when removing the arm.

For details, please refer to Instruction Manuals.

Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR) has a slight bulge to compensate for deflection caused by the weight of the main body and cable, so please install it at the installation height H' rather than the total height H of Cable Carrier (CABLEVEYOR).
*Please note that the installation height for Gliding arrangement specifications differs from that of standard products.

If you forcefully press the bulge to operate it, excessive force will be applied near the end of the movement.
Depending on the conditions, it may break early, so please change the installation height to the recommended one.

The free span section may swell or sag depending on the conditions of use and the atmosphere. Please ensure that you have sufficient space. (Required space varies depending on the model.)
Also, vibrations may occur if the operating speed is high, so if the operating speed exceeds 70% of the maximum allowable speed, double the required space.

CLEANVEYOR can be stacked up to six levels. Stacking FLATVEYOR is not recommended, as products may slide against each other, causing dust to be generated.

It is possible under certain conditions. However, it is not recommended in clean environments as the products will slide against each other, which can cause dust to be generated.

Yes, it is possible. L-blocks can be used to mount FLATVEYOR carrier.

Please install within the recommended installation height. If installed lower than the recommended installation height, expansion will be suppressed and there is a risk of premature breakage.

Please inquire as it may be possible. The required space (width) and (height) are determined taking into consideration the following factors: [Required space (width)] Due to deformation of the opening and closing tube, the bent section may expand in the width direction (approximately 5 mm per opening and closing tube). [Required space (height)] Due to the repulsive force of the cable and tube, the bent section may be higher than the installation height.

Although sliding does occur, similar tests were conducted in-house and no breakage due to sliding was confirmed. FLATVEYOR ZP specification recommends storing one cable or tube per open/close tube, but standards have been established for storing multiple tubes, taking into consideration convenience and practical usage situations. For details, please refer to page 10 of the Clean Series catalog.

Yes, it is possible. However, since the plate and plate fixing bolts are made of stainless steel, we can also provide special surface treatments such as anodizing for the L-block only. There are some surface treatments that we cannot provide, so please contact us for details.

There will be no problem if you use it within the conditions shown in Allowable load graph.

Yes, it is. Please attach a harness drawing when submitting your inquiry form. Even if you provide a cable with connectors on both ends, it cannot be installed in CLEANVEYOR.
