規劃電纜管理係統正確是避免不必要的停機時間的關鍵。該過程開頭的簡單考慮可能會阻止損失連續性，絕緣損壞，機械變形或電磁幹擾（EMI）的問題。然而，某些經驗法則，例如僅填充多達80％的電纜載體的橫截麵，已經過時了。那麼你如何知道你是指定，設計和安裝高效的係統？閱讀有關您可能不知道的七種常見電纜管理錯誤的列表，並有關如何避免它們的建議。

1 - 缺乏室內分離

內部隔板和擱板對於保持類似的電纜和軟管來說是至關重要的。當它們沒有分開時，電纜可以彼此交叉並變纏結。具有顯著差異或不相容夾克的電纜應放置在單獨的隔間中。通常，垂直分離器主要使用，因為它們是最簡單的安裝，並且可以輕鬆訪問電纜。對於更複雜的電纜包，可以使用水平擱架來提供額外的分離。最大電纜或軟管直徑對應於所選電纜載體的內部高度，具有額外的最小間隙。我們建議在電纜周圍留下10％的間隙，液壓軟管周圍的20％。電纜載體更快，更頻繁地運行，電纜和軟管更重要，以便在該載體內部定位。

2 – Dissimilar Jacket Types Placed Next to Each Other

If the outer jackets of cables and hoses have different coefficients of friction and rub against one another, the harder, more resilient material will gradually wear down the softer jacket and cause the system to fail. PUR and TPE jackets have similar wear characteristics, so laying these types of cables together is not a problem; however, mixing PVC and PUR jackets is not recommended. If jacket materials need to be mixed inside the same carrier, ensure the jacket materials are rated for use inside of one. Rubber or thermoset jacket materials tend to have tackier surfaces and will bind inside cable carriers.

3 -不均勻的重量分布

Cables and hoses need to be able to move freely inside a cable carrier without exerting an uneven load on the carrier. Unevenly distributed weight can result in a carrier that is too heavy on one side, which can disrupt movement, cause the carrier to tilt, and potentially interfere with the work area.

電纜重量應均勻地分布在一個carrier’s cross-section. We recommend placing heavy cables towards the edges of the carrier and lighter cables towards the center so that the majority of the cable weight is supported close to the side links. This is especially important for gliding applications.

4 -Overfilled Cable Carrier

It may be hard to leave some space inside your cable carrier, but it’s important to resist the temptation to overfill it since that can obstruct free movement. Your chances of jacket abrasion significantly increase if cables become caught on one another and bind. There is also a greater chance of EMI when power and data cables are positioned too close together. We recommend you space all power and data cables as far apart as possible to prevent EMI.

5 –缺乏適當的應變浮雕

沒有正確的應變消除，無法控製載體內部的電纜的長度。當載體來回移動時，電纜將拉入載體並束，導致過早的係統故障。載體外部的點，例如連接器或終端終端點，也將吸收所有機械力。對於水平和垂直應用，應在電纜載體的兩端固定圓形電纜。在某些情況下，例如旋轉應用或高壓或脈衝液壓軟管，建議在移動端固定電纜。服務循環應留在鏈條的一端，以允許適當的應變消除調整。

6 - 不沿中性軸安裝電纜

具有適當應變消除的電纜應位於電纜載體的中性軸上。電纜不應靠在內半徑上緊密拉緊或推動外半徑。

Once strain relief is properly installed, test the carrier in both the extended and home position to ensure that cables remain properly positioned in the neutral axis.

7 - 電纜載體長度不當

如果其長度被錯誤分配和拉拉或拉伸電纜，則可能會損害電纜載體的全部運動範圍可能導致導體破損。要正確計算載波的長度，請使用以下等式：

For unsupported, vertical, or side-mounted applications, use LK= S/2 + K (if the fixed point is at the center of travel) or LK = S/2 + ΔM + K (if the fixed end is located offset from the center of travel).

For gliding applications, use LK = S/2 + K2 (if the fixed point is at the center of travel) or LK = S/2 + ΔM + K2 (if the fixed end is located offset from the center of travel).

在這兩種情況下，S =最大行駛距離，k =不支持的曲線長度，K2 =滑動曲線長度，LK =載波長度和ΔM=偏離中心點。曲線長度值K和K2通過載體尺寸變化，並且通常可從給定電纜載體的製造商規格表中獲得。
