INV 2 Horizontal arrangement with support
If the unsupported length of the cable carrier is exceeded, the upper run can be supported. We recommend using the next larger type instead of a cable carrier with support(s), if the installation situation allows this.
Support for the upper run is generally possible for almost all cable carriers. The support stand used for plastic cable carriers always has to be equipped with start-up bevels. The upper run should be supported as far as possible.
Due to the flexible material and the potential sag, however, there are limitations on the use of supports for plastic cable carriers. The following section therefore examines the arrangement of the support for steel cable carriers with support rollers : Arrangement of the support
Arrangement with one support roller: for L S < 3 L f a R = ––– The distance of the support from the fixed bracket is approx. 1/6 of the travel length! L S 6

Arrangement with two support rollers: for L S < 4 L f a R1 = 300 mm a R2 = ––– – 150 mm First support 300 mm behind the fixed bracket, second support at the center of the remaining unsupported length! L S 4

A travel speed of 1 m/s should not be exceeded. When using support rollers, the length L f should only be 80 % of the value resulting from the load diagram, if possible.
Special version with lateral rollers: for L S < 4 L f To utilize the maximum possible travel length in an unsupported arrangement with stationary support structure. The lateral track rollers are mounted on the chain links. An even running surface has to be ensured, with a support tray provided if necessary.
