Why Plastic Carriers?
Why should you select a Nylatrac/Nylatube plastic cable carrier?
Although there are many factors that can be considered, the primary advantages of plastic carriers are:
- Cost: As a general rule, plastic cable/hose carriers are less expensive than similar sized metal carriers
- Weight: Plastic carriers are lighter than similar sized steel carriers
- High Velocity/Acceleration: Plastic carriers are lighter and quieter, providing smooth, reliable operation in applications with the most extreme velocity and acceleration requirements.
- Long Travels: Although metal carriers invariably offer longer unsupported spans than plastic carriers, in long travel applications where support is required, plastic carriers can offer innovative features and accessories such as guide troughs modular sliders, and MarathonT Roller Sets, that provide cost effective advantages.
- Environment: Nylatrac/Nylatube carriers are available in a wide variety of polymers for use in demanding environmental requirements, such as explosion proof, clean room, increased UL, chemical resistance, etc.
