500 SeriesSteel(galvanised)

500 series cable carriers are suitable for medium duty applications in arduous conditions, and are ideal in installations inrestricted areas because of their moderate dimensions.

The system is suitable for either internal or external applications.

The carrier and cable support are made of aluminium giving strength whilst light in weight, the rollers have dust proof and watertight seals, and the precision bearings are packed with grease giving many hours of trouble free operation.

Please note: All parts in this series are available in stainless steel.

Technical dataTack: Special box section track Ref. No. 500

in length of 6 metres.Distance between suspension supports: Normally every 2 metres, but every 1 metre within the stack section.Maximum admissible capacity ofcarrier: max. 25 kg

Maximum admissible number of cables: six round cables of 23 mm diameter each orflat cable up to 16.9 mm thick

35 mm thickMaximum cable capacity:for round cable: 23 mm ∅ for flat cable

97 mm wideRollers: Steel rollers with dust and water protected ball bearings.

Bearings pre-packed with grease suitable fortemperature range –30°C to + 125°C

Cable fastening: By neoprene clamping pieces.Material spec.: Carrier and supports of corrosion resistant aluminium and steel.

All screws suitably rust-proofed.Applications: For medium sized mobile installations. Suitable for interior or exterior applications.Each installation requires:

1) Requisite number of carriers2) One end clamp with buffer stop3) One leading carrier4) Special box section track5) Suspension brackets (every 2metres)6) Box section joints (every 6 metrees)7) Two end covers (only required with exteriorapplications)8) The corresponding number of cable cleats

Cable cleatsforround cable

The fitting of cable cleats is recommended with round cables in order to avoid entanglement of the cables caused when thefestoon system in subjected to changes of direction or side movements for example high winds.The clamping pieces of the cable cleats are made of hardwood impregnated with wood preservative and are fastenedbetween aluminium frames. When ordering please specify the exact cable diameters or alternatively we can supply cleatsundrilled.When using two tier cable carriers the cable cleats should be installed in such a way that they cannot touch each other, alsothe nuts on the clamping bolts should be on the outside to prevent damage to the cable.

The end clamp serves the last cable loop and is installed behind the buffer stop. It is held in position by two mild steel clampingpieces: one inside the track and the other outside.

The buffer stop is fitted inside the box section track in such a way that the cables cannot touch at support height(see dimension ‘A’).
