Rail Cable Carrier

Due to the substantial friction, it is nearly impossible to realize travel lengths greater than 200 m. With the new rail cable carrier, the upper trough does not glide on the bottom trough, it glides on guide rails. Rollers are mounted on ball bearings at the side of the carrier. The guide rails come in the standard connection height. The cable trunking carrier does not sag. The tension and thrust is 90% less in comparison to gliding arrangements.

Quiet and low-vibration operation

The rollers run on  the guide rail and do not contact other rollers. Ball bearings and a polyurethane roller surface additionally contribute to quite and smooth operation.

Rail Cable Carrier Key Features

  • suitable for very long travel lengths
  • 90 % less tension and thrust than with a gliding arrangement, thus cable duct requiring substantially less driving power
  • low-noise and low-vibration operation
  • less space required and cost-optimized with a shorter loop overhang – minimum turnaround length
  • no impacting of the rollers against one another
  • long service life – low maintenance
  • minimum stress on the cable and hose carrier and cables
  • less push/pull forces
  • high travel speeds up to 10 m/s possible
  • possible additional load (cable weight) of more than 50 kg/m
  • use of proven standard cable carriers
  • the carrier cannot climb

    Save time and money with a minimum loop overhang

    On the Rail Cable Carrier RCC – the driven connection is located at bend height. On gliding arrangements with a lower driver connection an extended loop overhang is required. This area cannot be used for travel.

    RCC: Driver connection at bend height – minimum loop overhang

  • Less space required, and no additional turnaround length.
  • Save money with minimum carrier, cable and channel lengths.

    Long service life for the cable and cable carrier and longer service life for the cables

    The carrier is subject to a minimum load which minimizes wear and optimizes the service life. RCC systems are especially gentle on cables since they are only bent at the bending radius of the carrier. There is no counter-bending as is used in gliding arrangements.
