Hint:

If you are unable to find a suitable cable carrier type for your particular application on the “unsupported arrangement” diagram we recommend that you carry out the following checks:

1.

Select a cable carrier with the permitted (desired) sag (page 2.09)

2.

Provide support for the cable carrier in the unsupported area(page 2.10)

3.

Select the “sliding in a guide channel” cable carrier system (page 2.11)

4.

Use a cable carrier in a multi-band arrangement, an arrangementrunning inside each other or an arrangement running in an opposi- te direction

5.

Select a steel cable carrier (see “Steel Cable Carriers” catalogue)
