In the case of long travel lengths the upper trough of the cable carrier glides on its lower trough. Beyond the fixed point the cable carrier glides on the sliding surface (support) of the guide channel.

The guide channels prevent the upper trough from slipping off the lower trough and ensure quiet, low-wear operation.

Designs: Guide channels made of steel plate ? standard design

With a one-sided cable carrier arrangement the cable carrier glides behind the fixed point on a continuous gliding surface with inclined slants.

With an opposing arrangement a glide plate is likewise attached to make a bridge between the fixed point connections.

To reduce the gliding resistance and wear between the cable carrier and support, a special gliding plate can be glued on. We recommend the use of special gliding plates at speeds > 0.5 m/s and with frequent travel cycles.

We also manufacture guide channels made of steel plate, customized for your application. In so doing, we can accommodate almost any wish as far as the special shape and fastening options are concerned

Standard design for customized fastening, e. g. by welding directly on site.
