Simple machine designs may only require twist-tie type bundlers. More complex builds with longer heavier cables may require cable trays or even cable carriers to prevent sagging and undue strain on cables.

Consider cable carriers: These are advanced components that house cables and hose in motion systems. Unlike cable trays or ladders, these components are best suited to systems that require cable movement ... think robotics, machine-tool equipment, and large off-road and industrial machinery. These carriers can support the heavy weight of numerous cables and hoses without sagging or putting stress on the cabling. They also prevent cable from tangling and snagging.

Cable carrier design guidelines

Types of cable managements

A well-designed cable carrier will dramatically extend the life of cables and fluid power supply lines—by protecting them from damaging bends, crimping, abrasive wear and crushing.

Cable carriers for dynamic axes can house many cables and wires and support the weight of them all without stressing the cabling. 

TKA Series Cable & Hose Carriers protect cables against dirt, chips and circulating spray water while also preventing the ingress of coolants and lubricants. All TKA carriers are also available in extremely heat-resistant versions

Enclosed Cable Carriers

Plastic cable carriers

Steel cable carriers

Cable carriers are essentially hollow chains that enclose electrical cables. They guide and protect the enclosed cables during motion, preventing wear and damage. 

Plastic cable carriers are fitted to machines to protect and guide cables and hoses. Cable carriers are constructed as a chain of rigid plastic sections. 

Often used in highly corrosive environments, steel cable carriers provide a high strength-to-weight ratio and maximum unsupported spans.
