Features

  • Safe operation on long travel length

  • Variable fixation in standard stainless steel
  • UMB mounting kit for assembly of the cable carrier

The Alu Guide System (TKAL) for long travel applications and high loads ensures secure guidance and smooth running of the energy chain in a gliding and rolling application.

The standardized channel profiles of 1000 / 2000 mm in length can be individually adjusted to the width of the chain. They can be quickly and easily be installed with the help of a mounting kit. Such UMB mounting kits are also available for attaching the fixed-point of the energy chain.

The optional damping band additionally reduces noise emission and guarantees an even quieter running of the chain.

TSUBAKI KABELSCHLEPP also offer the Alu Guide System (TKAL) together with the appropriate energy chain as well as with the ready-to-install TOTALTRAX® System including cables.

Versions

One-sided arrangement

For One-sided arrangement of the cable carrier, the cable carrier slides behind the fixed point on a slide support with run-on bevels.

Open design

Channel with and without supports incl. run-on bevels.

Dirt and water can drop through without restrictions.

Opposite arrangement

For opposite arrangement, a slide support with a minimum length of 500 mm is also attached for bridging between the fixed point connections.

Open design

Channel with and without supports incl. run-on bevels.

Dirt and water can drop through without restrictions.

Fixing Elements

Standard and heavy duty

The internal or external mounting kits made of stainless steel are mounted at the joints, ensuring precise connection of the joints in addition to fastening the channel to the substructure.

Flying joint

The internal and external mounting kits made of stainless steel are mounted with a spacing of 30-500 mm from the joints, ensuring fastening of the channel to the substructure. The mounting kit does not necessarily have to be mounted at the joints.

External mounting kit

The mounting brackets are mounted at the outside of the channel. The additional joint connectors ensure precise connection of the joints.

Internal mounting kit

The mounting brackets are mounted at the inside of the channel. The additional joint connectors ensure precise connection of the joints.

UMB mounting kit

The UMB mounting kit for fixed point ensures optimum fastening of the cable carrier in the channel and depends on the cable carrier type.

Holder set strain relief (optional)

The holders are mounted on the outside of the channel for fixed installation of cables.

Twin channel connector (optional)

The twin channel connectors enable the parallel arrangement of several channels.

All pictures of the mounting kit are exemplary.
