Formulas:
Center Mounting (CM):
Off-Center Mounting (OCM):
|
CM = (Ls / 2) + Lb
OCM = (Ls / 2) + Off-center
+ Lb
|
# of links = CM / t
# of links = OCM /
t

THE PROPER CARRIER TYPE & SIZE |
•
Determine the minimum bend radius of the components inside the track .
Choose a track that is slightly larger than minimum bend radius:
• Rule of thumb: The cable manufacturer will assign minimum radius.
For hoses it should be 5 x diameter, hydraulic lines: 7.5 x
diameter, confirm with customer
• Width clearances for cable inside the cable track is 10%, for hoses
is 20%
• Height clearance for cable & hoses is approx. 20%
• Distribute the weight inside the track and put the heavy components
on the outside
• Calculate the weight of components inside the track
• Check Travel length for unsupported length (optional)
• Select the proper carrier type and size for the application |

| RULES
FOR DIVIDERS |
•
Use when there is more than 3 conductors
• Separate the cables and hoses inside the cavity so they can move
independently
• Every customer may have their own preferences on dividers, Ask the
question?
• Every other link |
