Waarom het vaste punt in het midden?

Dan is de rups ongeveer de helft korter dan bij een vast punt aan het eind. Dat scheelt gewicht, ruimte en kosten.

De lengte van één schakel. Die staat per type in het assortiment; de rups wordt altijd op hele schakels geleverd.

Calculate length.From travel length, radius and fixed point.

How long does the cable carrier need to be? That depends on the travel length, where the fixed point is and the bending radius. Enter them and see the length, rounded to whole links if you know the pitch.

Travel length S (mm)Fixed pointBending radius KR (mm)Pitch p (mm, optional)Outer height of carrier (mm, optional, for the installed height)

Result

Carrier length (without rounding to pitch)

± 1.314 mm

Fixed point in the middle: half the travel length + bend + 2 links.

Choose a suitable carrier

The calculation rule

L = S/2 + π·KR + 2·p (fixed point in the middle)

With the fixed point in the middle, the length is half the travel length plus the bend (π × radius) plus two links. With the fixed point at the end, the whole travel length counts. Then round up to whole links.

We use the same rules in the cable carrier configurator and ChainLogic. A result is an indicative value; we check every choice free of charge.
