Depending on the operating conditions, pretension or sagging occurs in the unsupported length portion of the cable carrier.
However, if the product is selected according to the load diagram provided by Tsubaki, it will not cause problems during
operation.
1. Cable carrier mounting height (H’) should be cable
carrier height H + (10 to 30) mm.
2. Leeway space (S) should be 50 mm or more.
3. Install a guide channel.
4. The difference (ε) in connection surface between the
moving and fixed end brackets should be 3 mm or less.
5. Use highly flexible, wear-resistant cables/hoses that are
intended for movable parts.
6. Avoid using wire-braided cables/hoses as they may
wear easily.
7. Lay out cables/hoses in a row horizontally, as they
wear easily when used stacked on one another.
8. Set cables/hoses with sufficient length, adjust them to
proper lengths, and then clamp them at both ends.
9. Remove any foreign matter from the guide channel as
it can cause malfunctions.

For Safe Use
●Do not use the cable carrier and its accessories (including Cleanveyor and Flatveyor) 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 perform additional work on the cable carrier or the accessories (except fitting connectors
on Cleanveyor or Flatveyor).
・Do not clean the cable carrier or the accessories with acids or alkalis, as they may
cause cracking.
・Never electroplate the cable carrier or the accessories, as this may cause cracking due to
hydrogen embrittlement.
・Do not weld the cable carrier or the accessories, as the heat may cause cracking or a
reduction in strength.
●Observe all appropriate labor safety codes and standards for your region or area.
●When there is a need to replace a damaged (fractured) portion of a cable carrier or an accessory, always replace the
whole cable carrier or the accessory with a new product rather than replacing only the damaged or fractured portion.
●Immediately stop using the cable carrier or the accessories if they come into contact with a substance that can
cause embrittlement cracking (acid, strong alkali, battery fluid, etc.) and replace with a new cable carrier or
