Designing gliding cable carrier systems for large machinery & long travels
Jan. 7, 2025
Almost all gliding applications utilize a guide trough to increase stability and keep the entire system in place.
Compared to cable reels, bus bars 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 pushing the envelope to develop solutions for higher speeds, harsh environmental conditions, larger loads, and longer travels for use in large machinery, including cranes, bridges, and more.
