Steel cable carriers – the best choice for offshore applications
Especially tight TKA cable carriers from KABELSCHLEPP reliably protect cables against dirt, chips and spray water. They are now available in 360 variants; the newest additions to the TKA55 family are versions with inner widths of 200mm, 225mm and 250mm.
Cable carrier chain, leads, plug connections; a safe cable carrier system consists of a number of different components. For the user this means a rather complex process in which the individual components must be perfectly matched in order to be fully functional. For the customer, a reliable and much less troublesome solution that is also optimised in terms of costs, means ready-to-install complete systems. Such systems are offered by KABELSCHLEPP Metool under the brand TOTAL TRAX.
Wood or metal chips, other rough dirt particles OR even flying sparks may considerably affect cable carriers' functionality in machines and installations. In a worst case scenario, this may even result in a total breakdown.
The TSUBAKI KABELSCHLEPP STEEL-LINE steel cable and hose carrier systems significantly increase system availability in abrasive work environments
The TSUBAKI KABELSCHLEPP initiative ECO & €CO demonstrates the fact that environmental-friendliness and economy are most certainly not mutually exclusive.
The cable and hose carrier TKA55 was developed specifically for use in environments with heavy contamination from chips and dirt.
High additional loads and the consequence of long down times are a challenging combination for the design of cable carriers. TSUBAKI KABELSCHLEPP offers a solution with products with a multiple chain band design, for steel as well as synthetic material products.
In many areas of applications, operating and ambient conditions demand a specific material property for cable carriers, for example, with regard to explosion protection.
