Lightweight and robust for all round protection

Tsubaki Kabelschlepp offers the lightweight and low-noise all-round 1320 cable and hose carriers from the Uniflex Advanced series as a particularly robust version for rough application environments. This cable and hose carrier with interior widths of 38mm and 50mm offers extra flexibility wherever extremely high torsion rigidity and stress-resistance is a must. The plastic carrier, which was awarded the Eco-Link label, fulfils the most stringent of environmental-compatibility standards set out by Tsubaki Group. The 1320 models of the Uniflex Advanced series were originally developed as a custom solution to safely route bend-proof hydraulic hoses through the extendible supports of a concrete transporter. The limited construction space required a particularly compact cable carrier with small bend radii and a favourable ratio of interior to exterior width. Due to the extreme application conditions with dirt, strong vibrations and high mechanical stresses, the torsion rigidity of the cable carrier was optimised with single-part links manufactured from plastic material. A double stroke system for large unsupported sections and lateral wear surfaces make the Uniflex Advanced 1320 extremely robust.

The internal damping system ensures particularly low-vibration and low-noise running of the cable carrier. The optimised chain geometry keeps the weight of the carriers of the Uniflex Advanced series extremely low. The plastic cable and hose carrier Uniflex Advanced 1320 by Tsubaki Kabelschlepp with interior widths of 38mm and 50mm is available as a cost-effective standard solution for high-stress applications. The chain is supplied with bend-radii of 28, 38, 48, 75 and 100mm, and a pitch of 32mm. The aluminium continuous height separators TS 0 or TS 1 are offered as matching divider systems. The dividers can be moved along the cross-section, and can be fixed in place for laterally recumbent applications, or for applications with great transverse acceleration. The divider systems are mounted on every second chain link as standard.
