UA1555 cable carrier UNIFLEX Advanced Series

The UA1555 has an inner height of 38 mm and an outer height of 50 mm. It is available in 5 fixed inner widths: 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 mm. The outer width is the inner width plus 18 mm, so 68 to 168 mm. The pitch is 55.5 mm and there are 6 bending radii (KR): 63 / 80 / 100 / 125 / 160 / 200 mm.

The installation height (H) follows from the radius: with KR 63 mm it is 176 mm, with KR 200 mm it is 450 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 30 mm. For the inner height, calculate with the cable diameter plus 10% clearance.

By inner height, the UA1555 is number 4 of the 7 types in the series, from small to large. One size down is the UA1455: 26 mm inner height (12 mm less), for cables up to 20.5 mm. One size up is the UA1665: 44 mm inner height (6 mm more), for cables up to 35 mm. The longest travel length in this series is achieved by the UA1775 (200 m); the UA1555 goes up to 125 m.

Self-supporting, with the upper run free above the lower run, the UA1555 reaches up to 6.3 m travel length, 9 m/s and 45 m/s². For longer strokes it runs gliding, with the upper run on the lower run in a guide channel: up to 125 m travel length, 3 m/s and 20 m/s².

The weight of cables and hoses (additional load) may be up to 10 kg/m in a self-supporting arrangement, according to the load diagram in the catalogue. Glide shoes are required for a gliding arrangement; the smallest radius is then 80 mm. Vertical installation, hanging or standing, is also possible. Lying on its side is also possible. A rotating arrangement is possible.

Dividers of 2.5 mm separate the cables across the width; the smallest centre-to-centre distance is 10 mm. With a 4 mm shelf you lay cables in layers above each other, so thick and thin cables do not touch. Depending on the version, you open the UA1555 on the inside or outside radius, or it cannot be opened.

Besides universal end connectors (UMB), the UA1555 has versions facing outwards (A), inwards (I) and rotated 90° (H, K). You can add strain relief (comb or C-rail) to the end connectors.

According to the type data, the UA1555 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.

The UNIFLEX Advanced is our all-round recommendation for plastic cable carriers. Within it, the UA1555 is the size for cables and hoses up to 30 mm. Wisman Techniek supplies the UA1555 cut to length and, if required, complete with cables, assembled in Ruurlo.
