Guidelines for selecting steel cable carriers:
1. Determine the chain plate height (hg) and conveyor model based on the large aperture (Dma) of the support plate.
2. The inner diameter of the supporting plate cavity, D1, is approximately d + 0.1d (round to the nearest integer). Here, d refers to the outer diameter of wires, cables, liquid, and gas hoses.
3. Determine the bend radius of the chain for the support plate type based on the chain's functional requirements.
1) When the pipe joint size of the pipeline is larger than the inner diameter of the support plate or requires frequent disassembly and maintenance, a split-type support plate can be selected.
2) When the chain is required to bear larger tube and cable loads, it should be selected with a high-strength support plate type - solid plate.
3) When there are a variety of specifications and types of piping cables to be installed, frame-type support plates can be used.
4. When the application of machine tool chain guides is restricted by conditions, or affected by environmental factors, steel strip protective support plates should be used.
5. Determine the width of the support plate (b1) based on the number of installed conduits, thereby ascertaining the chain-link width (B).
Steel cable conduits must be handled with care, noting the following points:
1. The TLG and TL steel chain links have a usage stroke of up to 40 meters, suitable for all transmission methods. They can be easily extended or shortened.
Additionally, the bending radius can be altered by changing the shaft. The bending radius should be selected based on the cable's large diameter and should be ten times the cable diameter. For shorter travel, a smaller radius can be correspondingly chosen.
2. The support plate width of the steel chain is from 150mm to 800mm, with a spacing of 10mm between holes. The height of the chain plate, which is also the height of the support plate, is determined by the large diameter of the cable.
3. When machine tools are operating at full capacity, if the width of the steel conduit exceeds 300mm or the length exceeds 4m, consider choosing a larger size conduit for stability reasons.
