INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Separator

A separator component for organizing and isolating cables and hoses in carrier systems to prevent interference and damage.

Component Specifications

Definition
A mechanical component used within cable and hose carrier systems to physically separate and route individual cables, hoses, or groups thereof. It prevents tangling, abrasion, and electromagnetic interference between adjacent lines, ensuring reliable operation and extended service life in dynamic industrial environments.
Working Principle
Operates by providing rigid or flexible barriers within a carrier track. These barriers create dedicated channels that keep cables and hoses spaced apart and aligned, reducing friction, cross-talk, and stress concentrations during repeated bending and linear motion.
Materials
Typically engineered polymers (e.g., PA6, PA66, POM) for low friction and wear resistance; sometimes aluminum or stainless steel for high-load or high-temperature applications. Materials are often glass-filled for added stiffness and may include additives for static dissipation or flame retardancy.
Technical Parameters
  • Width 15-80 mm
  • Height 20-100 mm
  • Channel Count 2-10
  • Load Capacity Up to 50 N per channel
  • Bending Radius ≥ 5 x cable diameter
  • Temperature Range -40°C to +120°C
Standards
ISO 12100, DIN 43691

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of a separator in a hose carrier?

To prevent hoses from twisting, rubbing against each other, or becoming entangled during movement, which reduces wear and prevents failures like leaks or kinks.

Can separators be customized for different cable sizes?

Yes, many are modular or available in various channel dimensions to accommodate specific cable or hose diameters, ensuring a snug fit without over-compression.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
