CATRAC Cable & Hose Carrier Products

Ordering Guide & Technical Information

CATRAC® is used on various types of machinery as a means of safely and efﬁ ciently conveying power, electrical, air, or ﬂ uid (or a combination of these) to equipment in motion. CATRAC is designed to be maintenance free and to protect cables and hoses from abrasion, wear and twisting. A wide variety of options are available.

split aluminum bar carriers, rod carriers, removable pipe, spring loaded rods, vertical pins, double deck, custom radius “M” dimension (including double radius), custom and special widths, including single widths, double widths, triple widths, etc.. We offer various support systems from a single stationary roller support to a complete CATRAC carriage support system.

The center pivot design allows for smoother cycling and minimal hose movement. The CATRAC design offers “No Pinch Points” to insure operator safety. Standard side links are high tensile steel for maximum strength. Steel CATRACs are zinc plated with a yellow dichromate dip for superior corrosion resistance. Optional materials, such as aluminum and stainless steel are available.

We also offer a line of Mill Duty CATRACs that are used in rugged applications and environments such as steel mills. These CATRACs offer a box beam type carrier for maximum strength and stability. Spring loaded rods offer the customer easy access to cables and hoses. They also eliminate the concern of ﬁ tting sizes that must pass through the (ﬁ xed) compartment opening on a box beam style carrier. Hardened shoulder bolts and locknuts (referred to as bolted construction) are recommended for use in rugged environments. The CATRAC is manufactured so that pieces or sections can be removed or replaced in the ﬁ eld.

Our CATRAC product offers: a variety of sizes from 2.00” to 14.00” high links, carrier options from welded carriers,

We can provide you with the optimum system to suit your needs either with our standard carriers and options or by means of a custom designed system to meet your speciﬁ c requirements. In addition to our standard systems used in a standard linear motion, we can also provide you with double radius side mounted systems. Contact our applications engineers for additional information or to discuss your needs in detail.

CATRAC

Selection Guide

CATRAC Selection Guide

Which CATRAC is right?

1. Determine the outside diameter of the largest cable or hose to be carried.

2. Determine total machine travel. Unsupported length of CATRAC® on horizontal applications is total travel ÷ 2 when no supports are used and the stationary mounting foot is placed at the center line of travel.

3. Determine total weight to be carried per foot.

4. Use the charts to select the proper CATRAC style for your application. Please note that hose area varies with type of carriers used.

5. Determine the rolling radius of the CATRAC by: A) Minimum bend radius of cable or hose recommended by the manufacturer. If this is not available, we recommend a minimum of 6 times the O.D. of the largest cable or hose. B) Space limitations. The “M” dimension of the CATRAC must be less than the available space where track will be installed. The rolling radii shown in the dimension pages are standard. Special radii and “M” dimensions are available to suit your application at no additional cost.

6. Determine CATRAC “X” or inside width. Add the O.D. of all cables and hoses. Allow a minimum of 0.12” between each hose or cable and on both sides of the CATRAC. If vertical separators or hose straps are used, additional clearance is required.

7. Determine the length of the CATRAC. If the mounting foot is placed on the center line of travel as shown on the dimension pages, CATRAC Length = “RL” (radial length) + 1/2 of total travel (T/2). If the mounting foot is placed on either side of center line, the distance from the center line to the mounting foot (Y) must be added.

8. Determine mounting feet requirements and positioning on the CATRAC assembly.

If you need assistance or have any questions on special applications, feel free to contact our application engineers.

CATRAC

Carrier Designs

RC Rod Carriers

Available on 2CP, 3CP, 203, 375, 304 style tracks, this tubing is used to hold the entire CATRAC® together. They are fastened to links with a self tapping screw that can be removed from top or bottom rod to make installation of hose or cable easier.

WC Welded Carriers

The carrier is widely used in very rugged applications. It can withstand severe hydraulic shock and has no loose parts which can be lost during installation of the hose cable. The welded carrier bars alternate position top to bottom on styles 203, 375 and 304. Styles 456, 606 and 808 use a box beam construction with top and bottom beams across from each other for added strength.

RP Removable Pipe (Standard)

This assembly provides easy installation of cable and hose. The pipe can be removed by knocking out a roll pin and pulling it out the side of the CATRAC.

SL Spring Loaded Removable Pipe

This design provides the quickest way to install or change cable and hose in the ﬁ eld. Simply compress the plunger and pull the pipe out. No screws or pins need to be removed and no side space limitations need to be considered.

CATRAC

Carrier Designs

AB Split Bar Carriers

1/2” wide aluminum or 3/4” wide wood split bar carriers can be provided. This carrier is custom machined to your speciﬁ cations. Note: Holes must be at least 1/8” larger than cable hose diameter.

VP Vertical Pins

Vertical pins, also referred to as separators or dividers, can be welded into RP, SL and WC style carriers to separate cables or hoses to prevent twisting or overlap.

Extra Heavy Duty (Mill-Duty) Construction

For steel mills and other heavy duty service, the double welded carrier (MD option) is used as well as bolted construction (BC option). This structure has the ultimate strength for a carrier. Box beam construction is standard in the 456, 606, and 808 styles and can withstand severe hydraulic shock loads.

Optional & Special Carrier Designs

Special perforated carriers can be supplied which provide openings for hose straps. The hose straps, if used, should be very loose and used as a hose and cable separator rather than a tie down.

Many carriers and stiffeners are designed in cooperation with our customers. We welcome ideas to ﬁ t your speciﬁ c application needs.
