Technical data

For more detailed information and product dimensions, please download the product catalog.

A cost-effective cable carrier for light- to medium-level weight applications, robotics handling, transportation, paper production, textile industries, and water plants. The patented opening offers high rigid torsion behavior and comfortable handling.

  • Integrated Mounting Holes: No need for mounting brackets as the chains come equipped with interated mounting holes
  • Robust and Cost-Effective Design: Offers sturdy yet inexpensive solutions ideal for light-weight applications
  • High-Rigid Torsion Behavior: Accommodates high-rigid torsion behavior for comfortable handling
  • Pinch Stay Separation: Unique separation design with minimal dimensions
  • Smooth Motion: Enjoy smooth motion with no break-in time required
  • Wide Temperature Range: Long-term temperature limits are between -20ºC and 100ºC (-4ºF and 212ºF)
  • Special Variants Available: Silent running, EX-protection, anti-static, and self-extinguishing

Applications

  • Robotics
  • Handling
  • Transportation
  • Paper production
  • Textile industries
  • Wastewater treatment plants

Dimensions

  • bending radii: 15 - 400 mm (0.59" - 15.75")
  • inner height: 7 - 50 mm (0.28" - 1.97")
  • inner width: 7 - 195 mm (0.28" - 7.68")
  • weight: 0.06 - 2.7 kg/m (0.04 - 1.81 lb/ft)

Temperature

Long term temperature limits are between -20ºC and 100ºC (-4ºF and 212ºF).

Travel distance

The maximum travel distance is given by the arrangement and the load (weight of the lines). At normal arrangements the maximum travel distance is double the free carrying length. Support rollers or similar equipment may exceed this value. In gliding arrangements travel distances up to 100 m are possible (according to the application).

Travel speed

There are no limits for the travel speed in general. But with gliding arrangements application specific influences have to be taken into account.

Acceleration

There are no limits for the accelerations, in general. Limits may occur through the tensile stresses at high line weights.

Frequently asked questions

What are cable carriers?

Cable carriers, commonly referred to as energy chains, are machine components that guide and protect cables and hoses on a variety of linear motion applications.

Where are cable carriers used?

Cable carriers are used reliably in numerous applications in which energy is transported. We serve a wide range of industries from the textile industry to robotics.

How do I find the right cable routing for my application?

If you have a cable routing application but are unsure which system is the right one, talk to Hennig to get a precise plan for your application. We design and install cable carrier systems for a huge range of industries, and we're happy to help however we can.
