Cable Carriers

CABLE CARRIERS

Cranes use festoon cables and their cable carriers are subject to more severe condition than before because more cables required to meet the needs of higher speeds and more functions of the crane  

The cable carriers hang the festoon cables than connect the crane body to the trolley and are pulled by the traverse motion trolley. Breakage of trolley disconnection of the whole crane, and the potential damage is enormous.

Thus, each element of the cable carrier is modeled, the force applied to each element is calculated through dynamic analysis, and the behavior of the cable carrier is obtained quantitatively.
