New product family with revolutionary design, optimized chain geometry and powerful functionality

8.11.2011

Efficiency, process reliability and functionality, but also design and ecological compatibility – components for machinery and plant engineering always need to meet latest requirements. Against this background Kabelschlepp GmbH, in Wenden-Gerlingen, developed a completely new product family of cable and hose carriers. A closed version was released at the EMO in Hanover as the first type of this product family. The new Tube is perfectly leak tight and thus particularly suitable for applications in dirty environments, where chips and dust are created.

At the first glance the appealing, revolutionary design attracts the attention: The new plastic cable and hose carrier TUBE TKA55 is particularly stylish with minimum gap widths and a smooth side belt contour. In future this design will form the new style of Kabelschlepp. 

New chain geometry and cover design

The uniform, extremely tight construction most effectively prevents the entering of dirt and dry as well as wet chips, a factor that normally fosters chain wear and also impairs the service life of cables and hoses. The very narrow gap width was achieved by a form-closed redesign of the covers. They practically fit seamlessly into one another. In addition they also protrude over the side belts and enclose these most accurately. The smooth and dirt repellent side belt contour with encapsulated stroke system also prevents the entry of foreign matter and protects the function most reliably.  With an integrated sound-proofing the chain is very quiet and, due to the optimized polygonal behaviour in the bend radius (BR), the chain runs very smoothly. Thanks to the new shape of the covers, the inside height can be fully utilized, even in the BR. The covers can be loosened either inside or outside and thus enable quick installation of cables and hoses and inspection work. Moreover, due to their stability they also provide perfect hold, even for hydraulic hoses.
