A long travel cable carrier guide has a plurality of guideposts that support an upper portion of a cable carrier. The plurality of guideposts include rollers that move between an extended and retracted position that allows the cable carrier to pass by the guideposts. The rollers automatically return to an extended position wherein the rollers protrude into the path of the cable carrier and provide support to the upper portion of the cable carrier as needed.

Cable carrier guide

A cable carrier chain having link sections that include metal and plastic portions to allow the chain to operate at high velocity yet also be suitable for high acceleration and deceleration and/or heavy load applications. The metal portions are 'free floating' when the chain rotates around a pivot point to allow the plastic portions to flex, but become 'locked out' when the chain is no longer rotating to provide sufficient strength to support the load of the chain.

Hybrid cable carrier chain

A long travel cable carrier guide has a plurality of guideposts that support an upper portion of a cable carrier. The plurality of guideposts include horizontal rollers that rotate to allow the cable carrier to pass by the guideposts, but automatically return to a resting position wherein the horizontal rollers protrude into the path of the cable carrier.

A cable carrier () has top () and bottom () longitudinally continuous sides, with one side () more flexible and the opposite side () less flexible. The sides are made of continuous sheets of material to define a closed tubular shape in which energy carriers can be housed and supported. The sheets may be integral, or have integral parts, and can be extruded. The carrier may be longitudinally openable with a zipper structure () to permit loading of energy carriers.
