Options / Accessories

Drop Through

An option for KS and KL, the drop through access feature allows quick, easy installation and removal of cables and hoses directly through a split, flexible crossbar, eliminating the need for tools or snap-open hinging bars. The Gortrac Drop Through design is unique; only the access bar itself is flexible. The rest of the link is manufactured from our standard 30% glass-filled plastic, resulting in higher strength and longer unsupported spans.

Available with:
KS, and KL Series

Aluminum Crossbars

Available in both flat (pictured) and round construction, these bars offer an excellent, low friction, high strength alternative to standard plastic bars. Their bolt-in design offers maximum torsional stability, as well as quick and easy link access for installation and maintenance.

Available with:
NS, NL, TS, TL, NXL, SB, SC, GX, MRC, SRC, LRC, SX, and XL Series

E-Z Out Crossbars

Utilizing an innovative, spring loaded pin design, E-Z Out combines the strength of aluminum bars, with a bolt-less, snap-out removal system for quick interior accessibility. Poly rollers can be incorporated for lower wear requirements.

NSB, NSC, NS, and NL Series

Plastic Crossbars

Plastic cross bars are a lightweight, easily-removable, low-cost option. Quick link cavity access is accomplished with the tip of a screw driver. Many models are available in either top and/or bottom link access. Also available as Snap-In (pictured above right) on some modular carriers.

Available with:
KO, KN, SP, KS, P, NP, KL, PS, PC, NSB, NSC, NS, NL, TS, TL, NXL, KOE, N, KLE, PCE, PSE, TSAP, TLAP, and NXLAP Series

Machined Bars

Machined bars are aluminum (pictured) or plastic block-style crossbars, custom-bored to your specific cable and hose diameters. Machined bars offer minimal wear, optimal placement, and ensure that each cable and hose rides the neutral axis of the carrier, prolonging jacket and conductor life.

Available with:
TS, TL, NXL, SRC, LRC, SX, and XL Series

Poly Rollers

Poly rollers provide a low friction, mechanical wear surface ideal for hoses and soft-jacketed cables. Easily incorporated into any carrier system utilizing round bars, poly rollers are a simple, cost-effective solution to many demanding applications. They can also be used as vertical separators and horizontal dividers. Please consult with A&A for specifications.

Available with:
NSB, NSC, NS, NL, TS, TL, SB, SC, GX, MRC, SX, SRC, and LRC Series

Window Extenders

When additional cavity height is required, window extenders are a quick and easy modification that provide extra interior space in many standard link sizes. Available in both standard and custom configurations, they utilize a variety of crossbar styles, including flat bar, round bar, and poly rollers (pictured).

Available with:
NSB, NSC, NS, NL, TL, NXL, SB, SC, MRC, SRC, LRC, SX, and XL Series

Aluminum Lids

Armor plate style aluminum lids offer maximum protection against hot chips and heavy debris. Available in both easy access snap-in and heavy-duty bolted construction, armor plate lids are ideal for severe and challenging applications, such as machine tools, mills, and foundries.

Available with:
TS, TL, KOE, N, and KLE Series

Vertical Separators

Vertical separators snap into carrier cross bars to provide multiple compartments in a single link. Available in most carriers and in a variety of styles, including stationary and rolling designs, vertical separators can be installed every link, or staggered for economy. When sizing compartments, Gortrac recommends a safety factor of an additional 10% for cables and 20% for hoses.

Available with:
SP, KS, P, NP, KL, PS, PC, NSB, NSC, NS, NL, TS, TL, NXL, KOE, KLE, PCE, PSE, TSAP, TLAP, NXLAP, SB, SC, GX, MRC, SRC, LRC, SX, XL, SRCAP, LRCAP, and XLAP Series

Horizontal Dividers & Shelving Systems

Horizontal Dividers or Shelving Systems are used to stack layers of cables/hoses in individual vertical compartments. These dividers prevent cross over and the resulting entanglement, decrease cavity width by utilizing allowable vertical space, and provide optimal organization of cables and hoses in a carrier system. Vertical dividers are available as snap-in components or as modular units that are bored to your specifications.

Available with:
KOE, N, KLE, PCE, PSE, TSAP, TLAP, NXLAP, SB, SC, GX, MRC, SRC, LRC, SX, XL, SRCAP, LRCAP, and XLAP Series

Marathon

The Marathon Long Travel Support System was designed for applications requiring long travel, higher velocities and accelerations, and reduced tow forces. Unlike traditional systems where the carrier glides on itself, the Marathon utilizes a patented retractable roller system that rides on a simple rail system. Using the carrier’s polygonal effect, the rollers are lifted from the guide rail and pulled inward as the links pass through the radius. On the return travel, the roller sets are pushed back out and sit down on the rail providing rolling support through the complete travel

• Extremely long travels up to 2,000m

• Travel speed up to 5m/sec

• Reduction of Tow Force up to 90%

• No gliding friction on carrier links

TS, and TL Series

Rolling Carriage

Horizontal Dividers or Shelving Systems are used to stack layers of cables/hoses in individual vertical compartments. These dividers prevent cross over and the resulting entanglement, decrease cavity width by utilizing allowable vertical space, and provide optimal organization of cables and hoses in a carrier system. Vertical dividers are available as snap-in components or as modular units that are bored to your specifications.

• Lightweight: Reduced tow forces vs. conventional carriage systems

• Modular: Easy to add/remove length

• Easy assembly: most components are bolted together

• Quiet: Urethane wheels used for low noise

• Use with plastic or steel track

• Track drives/returns carriage without use of cable

• Self-guiding for travels under 50 feet. Guide channel required for travels over 50 feet

Support Rollers

Stationary support rollers increase travel capability in applications where a carrier's unsupported span is exceeded. These support rollers are heavy duty, height adjustable, and can increase travel up to 4x unsupported capability. One support roller will provide maximum travel 3x the recommended unsupported span. Two support rollers will provide maximum travel 4x the recommended unsupported span. Consult catalog load charts for unsupported span capabilities. Available for both plastic and metal carrier systems.

Available with:
MRC, SRC, LRC, SX, and XL Series

Allround Multi Axis Carrier

Multi Axis Carrier Systems The Allround Carrier System was designed for applications requiring multi axis travel. A standard PC or PS series carrier is modified with molded elastomer links at alternating locations, allowing virtually unlimited ranges of motion. Lateral movement of 90°, plus axial rotary motion of 180°, are easily achieved in a carrier system that is quiet and offers minimal oscillation. Whether the application requires a slight lateral movement due to misalignment, or actual three-dimensional motion, the Allround System was designed to make it easier.

Available with:
PS, and PC Series

Cable/Hose Clamps

Cable/hose clamps are designed to extend cable and hose life by reducing strain relief in carrier applications. Gortrac standard and custom designs are available for fast and simple installation in virtually any application. Gortrac cable clamps can be integrated with cable carrier or used as stand alone for cable management. Clamps should be installed at both moving and stationary ends of a carrier (For high pressure hoses, please consult factory).
