QT0250 cable carrier QuickTrax® Series

The QT0250 has an inner height of 17.6 mm and an outer height of 23 mm. It is available in 2 fixed inner widths: 30 / 50 mm. The outer width is the inner width plus 10 mm, so 40 to 60 mm. The pitch is 25 mm and there are 6 bending radii (KR): 28 / 38 / 45 / 60 / 75 / 100 mm.

The installation height (H) follows from the radius: with KR 28 mm it is 79 mm, with KR 100 mm it is 223 mm. Choose at least the radius your thickest cable requires; you will find it in the cable's datasheet. The thickest cable or hose may be 14 mm. For the inner height, calculate with the cable diameter plus 10% clearance.

By inner height, the QT0250 is the smallest of the 2 types in the series. One size up is the QT0320: 20 mm inner height (2.4 mm more), for cables up to 16 mm. The longest travel length in this series is achieved by the QT0320 (80 m); the QT0250 goes up to 60 m.

Self-supporting, with the upper run free above the lower run, the QT0250 reaches up to 1.6 m travel length, 10 m/s and 50 m/s². For longer strokes it runs gliding, with the upper run on the lower run in a guide channel: up to 60 m travel length, 3 m/s and 30 m/s².

The weight of cables and hoses (additional load) may be up to 4 kg/m in a self-supporting arrangement, according to the load diagram in the catalogue. Vertical installation, hanging or standing, is also possible. Lying on its side is also possible. A rotating arrangement is possible.

Dividers of 2 mm separate the cables across the width; the smallest centre-to-centre distance is 6 mm. With a 2 mm shelf you lay cables in layers above each other, so thick and thin cables do not touch. You open the QT0250 on the inside or outside radius to lay in cables.

End connectors for the QT0250 are available facing outwards (A) and inwards (I), and rotated 90° outwards (H) or inwards (K). You can add strain relief (comb or C-rail) to the end connectors.

According to the type data, the QT0250 can be used indoors and outdoors. Dirty environments are not a problem either. The type data also lists environments with chips. Heavy-duty and marine applications are listed as well.

After the UNIFLEX Advanced, our all-round recommendation, the QuickTrax is our second choice. The QT0250 matches the UNIFLEX Advanced UA1250 (17.5 mm) in inner height. Wisman Techniek supplies the QT0250 cut to length and, if required, complete with cables, assembled in Ruurlo.
