UA1665 cable carrier UNIFLEX Advanced Series

The UA1665 has an inner height of 44 mm and an outer height of 60 mm. It is available in 9 fixed inner widths: 50 / 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 / 175 / 200 / 225 / 250 mm. The outer width is the inner width plus 22 mm, so 72 to 272 mm. The pitch is 66.5 mm and there are 7 bending radii (KR): 75 / 100 / 120 / 140 / 200 / 250 / 300 mm.

The installation height (H) follows from the radius: with KR 75 mm it is 210 mm, with KR 300 mm it is 660 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 35 mm. For the inner height, calculate with the cable diameter plus 10% clearance.

By inner height, the UA1665 is number 5 of the 7 types in the series, from small to large. One size down is the UA1555: 38 mm inner height (6 mm less), for cables up to 30 mm. One size up is the UA1775: 56 mm inner height (12 mm more), for cables up to 44 mm. The longest travel length in this series is achieved by the UA1775 (200 m); the UA1665 goes up to 150 m.

Self-supporting, with the upper run free above the lower run, the UA1665 reaches up to 7 m travel length, 8 m/s and 40 m/s². For longer strokes it runs gliding, with the upper run on the lower run in a guide channel: up to 150 m travel length, 3 m/s and 15 m/s².

The weight of cables and hoses (additional load) may be up to 15 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 100 mm. Vertical installation, hanging or standing, is also possible. Lying on its side is also possible. A rotating arrangement is possible with some of the versions.

Dividers of 3 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 UA1665 on the inside or outside radius, or it cannot be opened.

Besides universal end connectors (UMB), the UA1665 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 UA1665 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 UA1665 is the size for cables and hoses up to 35 mm. Wisman Techniek supplies the UA1665 cut to length and, if required, complete with cables, assembled in Ruurlo.
