Festoon system

Product catalog summary
General Information
VAHLE Festoon systems are designed to support electric cables or hoses for mobile machinery, adhering to VDE regulations and international safety standards. They are compatible with standard I-beams or flat flange beams, with specific dimensions required when ordering.
Application
The systems operate on an I-beam parallel to the equipment's track, utilizing the machine's full length for storage. Components include a lead clamp, track clamp, and optional tow ropes and cable loop clamps, depending on cable arrangement and operational conditions.
Layout Considerations
Key factors in selecting a Festoon System include cable dimensions, storage space, loop depth, system dimensions, beam selection, and travel speed. Graphs assist in determining the number of loops required.
Questionnaire
A detailed questionnaire gathers information for system design, covering application type, environmental conditions, cable requirements, and system dimensions.
Cable Carriers
Various cable carriers, such as W 25 R, W 26 R, and W 30 R, offer different wheel configurations and capacities. They feature polyamide wheels and support saddles, suitable for temperatures from -30°C to +100°C and speeds up to 60 m/min.
Engineering Data
Specifications include carrying capacity, wheel material, temperature range, and travel speed. Detailed tables provide dimensions, weight, and order numbers for different carrier types.
Installation Information
Guidelines cover determining storage distance, cable length, and the number of carriers required for optimal performance.
Spare Parts and Ordering
Information on spare parts and ordering procedures is provided, with application examples to assist in system selection and configuration.
Specifications
The document details specifications for heavy-duty cable carriers, including types, carrying capacities, materials, and dimensions. It covers components like cable carriers, support saddles, and loop clamps.
Engineering Data
Specifications for wheels and rollers include hardened and galvanized steel with sealed ball bearings, and cylindrical running rollers with a hardened surface.
Cable Carriers
Various models are listed with dimensions, maximum cable diameter, weight, and order numbers.
Cable Support Saddles
Two types of cable clamps are available: Type LA (steel with PVC) and Type LK (steel with aluminum), with specific dimensions and weights.
Cable Loop Clamps
Made of light metal, seawater resistant, with rubber clamping inserts and PVC spacers, available in various sizes.
Specifications
Detailed specifications for cable loop clamps and tow rope assemblies, including dimensions, weight, and order numbers. Recommendations for applications with over 30 m travel distance and speeds up to 80 m/min.
Procedures
Instructions for determining tow rope length and selecting systems for gantry crane trolleys, based on cable diameters and weights.
Standards and Recommendations
Consult the factory for higher speeds or accelerations. Use spacers if cables side by side are below certain values.
Order Details
Order numbers for components, specifying materials and weights.
Typical Application
Describes a typical electrification system for a gantry crane trolley, with a step-by-step guide for system selection and material determination.
Spare Parts
Details on spare parts like wheels, bumpers, and cable clamps, with dimensions, materials, and order numbers.
Overview
Technical specifications and installation instructions for a festoon system for round cables, including components, procedures, and safety guidelines.
Specifications
Includes 9 cable carriers, 3-tier, with order numbers for components like cable support saddles and clamps.
Installation Procedures
Instructions for installing the I-beam track, adjusting cable carriers, and connecting clamps.
Cable Installation
Guidelines for distributing cable length and fixing cables with clamps.
Tow Ropes and Cable Loop Clamps
Installation recommendations based on loop depth.
Determining Storage Distance, Cable Length, and Number of Carriers
Formulas for calculating storage distance, cable length, and carrier number, considering travel distance and safety factors.
Diagrams and Application Photos
Diagrams illustrate loop relationships, and photos show VAHLE cable carriers in use.
