"Designing gliding cable carrier systems for large machinery"

Replace your cable reels, busbars or festoon systems with maintenance-free cable carriers.

Compared to cable reels, busbars or festoon systems, plastic cable carrier systems are an extremely low maintenance, resilient solution which can reduce required installation space and reduce the length of cable required by up to 50%. Over the past several years, cable carrier manufacturers have been increasingly pushing the envelope to develop solutions for higher speeds, harsher conditions, larger loads, and longer travels for large machinery, including cranes, bridges, and more. 

What you will learn:

  • How to select the ideal guide trough
  • How to calculate the required cable carrier length for gliding applications
  • Why condition monitoring technology is critical to avoid unplanned downtime.
