How do you specify metal cable carriers?
Contributed by Jody Muelaner Cable carriers are essentially hollow chains that enclose electrical cables, as well as hydraulic or pneumatic hoses. They guide and protect the enclosed cables during motion, preventing wear and damage. An important function of cable carriers is to constrain bending to a single plane and to limit the minimum bend radius. […]
