Hybrid cable carrier from Dynatect is designed for long distances
Dynatect has introduced the Gortrac Hybrid Carrier, a low-cost and high-performance solution to protect cables and hoses on moving equipment traveling more than 20 ft. For the second time in 2018, Dynatect has introduced a patented long travel design into an industry that has remained largely unchallenged by the status quo solution: a gliding plastic […]
Long cable carrier solution from Dynatect eliminates traditional guide troughs
With its new Gortrac Articulated Roller Support (ARS) long travel system, Dynatect’s latest cable carrier solution eliminates traditional guide troughs, reducing system weight and costs. The ARS responds to the needs of the crane, machine tool, and automation industries for long travel cable carrier solutions. It is intended for applications up to 300 ft and […]
Should you lubricate steel cable carriers?
Often used in highly corrosive environments, steel cable carriers provide a high strength-to-weight ratio and maximum unsupported spans. They usually feature a special coating to resist corrosion from chemicals and other abrasive materials. Generally, lubrication isn’t required. Should it be required, certain applications have more abrasive environments where a dry lubrication is required, but in […]
Cable carrier trends: Material advances make the impossible possible
With ever-increasing speeds and higher load-carrying requirements at continually decreasing weights, cable carrier manufacturers are looking to material advances to help deliver solutions for completely new applications. Cable carrier use is increasing especially in motion systems, said David Smith, director of sales, KabelSchlepp America, a division of U.S. Tsubaki Power Transmission. With so many motion […]
What are the latest trends in cable carrier designs?
The need for lightweight designs that can operate in harsh environments is continuing to bring changes to the manufacture and use of cable management systems. More end users are looking for lightweight, nimble designs that allow more compact motors to power them. This, in turn, allows steel carriers to generate less noise and continue to improve along […]
Trends in cable carriers
Although there have not been many drastic changes in cable carriers, major markets have helped spur innovations that have changed the manufacture and materials often used in these components. Most agree that the biggest market to have an impact on cable carrier designs has been the automotive industry, including in the vehicles themselves and in […]
Alleviating cable and hose carrier installations
By Mark Cunningham, Sales Manager, and Mark Zanolla, Engineering Manager, Gortrac Div., Dynatect Manufacturing Cable and hose carriers may be installed as a component on new or existing equipment, but it often is possible to simplify and expedite their installation with a complete turn-key assembly from the manufacturer. Such an assembly may incorporate other system […]
