Weight Load Chart

  • Find the weight you want to put in the cable carrier on the left side of the chart (additional load).
  • Then follow that row across until you get to the maximum unsupported length line.
  • Unsupported length (a.k.a. unsupported span) is the maximum distance possible between the moving end mounting bracket and the topmost link of the curve.
  • For a standard cable carrier mounted with the fixed end at center of travel, this length is 1/2 the system travel + 1 link pitch.
  • This length can be greater or shorter if the fixed end is offset mounted from the center of travel.
  • Using the load chart below, for example: an additional load of 20 lbs./ft can have a maximum unsupported span of 25 ft.
