Crossbars/Separators: Load Capacity Up to 50 kg/m

Component Specifications

Definition

Crossbars and separators are structural elements installed within cable carriers (also known as cable tracks or energy chains) to create compartments that segregate cables, hoses, and tubing. They maintain proper spacing, reduce internal movement, and prevent interference between different media, thereby extending service life and ensuring reliable operation in dynamic industrial applications.

Working Principle

These components work by physically dividing the internal space of a cable carrier into multiple channels. Crossbars typically run horizontally across the width, while separators can be vertical or horizontal dividers. They restrict lateral movement and contact between cables, reducing friction, wear, and potential signal interference in automated machinery with continuous flexing motion.

Materials

Typically made from engineering plastics like polyamide (PA), polyoxymethylene (POM), or polyethylene (PE). Some heavy-duty versions use aluminum or stainless steel. Materials are selected for low friction, high wear resistance, and chemical stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main purpose of crossbars in cable carriers?

Crossbars create separate compartments to prevent cables from tangling and rubbing against each other, reducing wear and extending cable life.

Can separators be added to existing cable carriers?

Yes, most separators are modular and can be snapped or screwed into place in standard cable carriers during installation or retrofitting.

How do I choose the right material for crossbars?

Select based on application: plastics like PA6 for general use, POM for low friction, and metals for high-load or high-temperature environments.
