Low debris generation and low noise
Integrated support member structure reduces generation of wear debris.
An original short pitch structure and the sound insulation effect of the
integrated support member tubes reduce noise.
Products are available in black or white.

comparison
Tsubaki has developed an original openable tube that
features excellent flexibility, durability, and slidability.
The locking part is easy to open and close and has a zipper
structure that does not open during operation.
Clean class equivalent to ISO class 2
The support member reduces sag in the unsupported length section and
allows the cable/tube to stand on its own. It also suppresses bouncing during
operation.
Note: The caps for white are black.

Easy Handling
Advantages
Cables and tubes can be installed and replaced
Reduces labor for installation Improved yield
Cables and tubes can be installed
and replaced by opening and closing
the locking part.
Openable tubes create independent
installation spaces.
Excellent slidability and sealed structure
is equivalent to ISO cleanroom class 2.
• Easy to change cable and tube
designs
• Easily replace only failed cables
• Contributes to SDGs by eliminating
entire replacement required by flat
cables
• No need to divide cables and tubes • Effective for debris generation control

Check the allowable bending radius recommended by
the cable/tube manufacturer (for repeated bending).
Refer to the following guideline.
Cable with shield = Max. cable outer diameter × 8
Cable without shield = Max. cable outer diameter × 6
Tube = Max. tube outer diameter × 9

Handling Instructions
Precautions for handling
Please handle the cables and tubes with care
when wiring and mounting them in equipment to
ensure that forces are not applied in a tearing
direction on the welded ends.
If a force in the tearing direction is applied to a welded
end, it could cause the welded section to peel off.
Cables and tubes should be routed without
twisting. Do not pull out from the drum or coil in a
spiral pattern because this will cause the cable or
tube to be routed with a twist.
The cable winding tendency may cause the
Flatveyor to tilt at angle.
1 2
Welded end
When installing multiple cables or tubes in a single
openable tube, install by keeping the cables or
tubes aligned.
Installing cables while they are twisted could
cause premature breakage due to entanglement of
cables in the openable tube.
For installation of cables and tubes, ensure that
the cable weight is symmetrically distributed
across the width of the Flatveyor.
3 4
5 6
Do not fix cables or tubes inside the openable
tubes using cable ties or similar implements.
Doing so could cause the openable tube to tear.
Make sure that section A of the locking part is
correctly overlapped.
If not correctly overlapped, the locking part could
open.
Section A is caught on
the arrowhead side.
Section A is correctly
overlapped. Section A is bent.
When fixing cables and tubes, make sure to
provide a suitable amount of play.
Otherwise, the openable tube could tear or the
locking part could open.
Make sure to fix to the equipment in a bent
position with the locking part facing outward.
Fixing one end (fixed or moving end) to the
equipment while the Flatveyor is extended could
cause the support member to be fixed in a
direction other than the bending direction. Bending
in this state could damage the support member.
Do not install any object that could interfere with
the inner circumference of the Flatveyor.
Suitable play Too tight Too loose
If the gap between the locking part is not uniform
or if a locking part opens, section A may not be
overlapped correctly.
After closing the locking part, ensure that the
cable or tube does not exert any outward force on
the locking part end.
Otherwise, the locking part could open.

Safety Precautions
WARNING To prevent hazards, be sure to observe the following safety precautions.
Do not use the cable carrier (including Cleanveyor and Flatveyor) or its parts for anything other than their original purpose.
Do not stand or ride on the cable carrier. There is a risk of damage and falls.
Never attempt to make additions or modifications to the cable carrier or its parts. (except for Cleanveyor and Flatveyor cable and tube end terminations)
Observe the general standards stipulated in Part 2, Chapter 1, Section 1 of the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health. (The Ordinance on Industrial Safety
and Health also includes items that do not apply to cable carrier products.)
When replacing worn (damaged) parts, do not replace only the worn (damaged) parts, but replace all parts with new ones.
If any substance (acid, strong alkali, battery acid, etc.) that may cause embrittlement cracking adheres to the cable carrier or its parts, immediately stop using
the cable carrier or its parts, and replace them with new ones.
Be sure to observe the following points when connecting, mounting, disconnecting, and servicing cable carriers and its parts.
• Perform the procedures as specified in the instruction manual, catalog, or documentation specially provided to the customer.
• Secure the cable carrier and parts so they do not move freely. Otherwise, the cable carrier may move on its own or collapse under its own weight.
• Be careful that your hands do not get pinched, crushed, or entangled in the bending section of the cable carrier.
• Wear suitable clothing and protective equipment for the work (such as safety goggles, gloves and safety shoes).
• Always turn off the main power supply of the equipment before starting any work, and be careful not to
inadvertently operate any switches.
• Only experienced personnel should handle the cable carrier.
• Do not clean cable carriers or their parts with acid or alkali. Doing so will cause cracks to form.

Safety Precautions
WARNING To prevent hazards, be sure to observe the following safety precautions.
Do not use the cable carrier (including Cleanveyor and Flatveyor) or its parts for anything other than their original purpose.
Do not stand or ride on the cable carrier. There is a risk of damage and falls.
Never attempt to make additions or modifications to the cable carrier or its parts. (except for Cleanveyor and Flatveyor cable and tube end terminations)
Observe the general standards stipulated in Part 2, Chapter 1, Section 1 of the Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health. (The Ordinance on Industrial Safety
and Health also includes items that do not apply to cable carrier products.)
When replacing worn (damaged) parts, do not replace only the worn (damaged) parts, but replace all parts with new ones.
If any substance (acid, strong alkali, battery acid, etc.) that may cause embrittlement cracking adheres to the cable carrier or its parts, immediately stop using
the cable carrier or its parts, and replace them with new ones.
Be sure to observe the following points when connecting, mounting, disconnecting, and servicing cable carriers and its parts.
• Perform the procedures as specified in the instruction manual, catalog, or documentation specially provided to the customer.
• Secure the cable carrier and parts so they do not move freely. Otherwise, the cable carrier may move on its own or collapse under its own weight.
• Be careful that your hands do not get pinched, crushed, or entangled in the bending section of the cable carrier.
• Wear suitable clothing and protective equipment for the work (such as safety goggles, gloves and safety shoes).
• Always turn off the main power supply of the equipment before starting any work, and be careful not to
inadvertently operate any switches.
• Only experienced personnel should handle the cable carrier.
• Do not clean cable carriers or their parts with acid or alkali. Doing so will cause cracks to form.
• Never electroplate the cable carrier or its parts. Doing so could cause hydrogen embrittlement cracking.
• Do not weld onto the cable carrier or its parts. Doing so will cause loss of strength and cracking due to thermal effects.
