The TL series is a large size modular link plastic carrier. The TL series is excellent for robotics, long travel and heavy-duty industrial applications. Standard and universal mounting bracket options are available.
Inside Width: Several snap-in plastic crossbars are available in fixed cavity widths from 3.93″ to 13.63″. All other crossbar options are customer-specified.
Model – Bar Style – Bar Width – Height – Separators – Length – Bracket (fixed) – Bracket (moving)
Example: TL-MB-5.73-160-0-72.23-#1IN-#1IN
⇒ Length is specified in inches, to two decimals. It is the distance between flanges ⇒ (see formula on carrier side view diagram)
⇒ Specify bracket type and arrangement # for each end
Cross Bar Styles: – MB = Snap-In Molded Plastic Flat Bar (fixed width)
– PR = Poly Roller (over bolted aluminum round bar)
– RB = Aluminum Round Bar
– AF = Aluminum Flat Bar
– AFS = Snap-Out Aluminum Flat Bar
– PL = Plastic Lid (enclosed design)
– AP = Aluminum Armor Plate (enclosed design)

Travel/2 + CL (+ Offset Distance From Center*) = Length Dynatect recommends mounting the stationary end of the carrier at the center of travel, minimizing the required length.
In cases where center mounting is not possible, add the distance offset from center to the carrier length calculation.
