There should only be large surface pressure on the outer jacket. All cables have to be strain relieved at the fixed point and at the driving feature.The weight arrangement in the cable track or in the links has to be done symmetrically, with the heavy cables laid towards the outside of the cable track and the smaller ones in the middle.The laying of the cables in the cable track has to be torsion free (non-rotational), therefore, the cables must be unwound from the reels before being installed.

In cases where there are several layers of cables the cables need adequate clearance at the bending point. Make sure that the cables do not exceed the bend radius.There must be 10% free space between the cable diameters and also the internal dimensions of the cable track, for safety reasons. The cables should be movable in the separator.The section of the hose has to be considerably bigger than the sum of all cable sections. Cables with an outer diameter In cases where cables with different diameters are laid on top of each other, we recommend the use of separators. Lay the cables separately side by side.SAB recommends following these guidelines for installing continuous flex cables into a cable track: The laying of cables in cable track has to be done carefully.
