e-skin flat - technical details

The flat cable guidance system e-skin flat consists of individual cable chambers that can be joined together. One or more cables can be put into these chambers.  
 
There are 3 variants: 
  • Closed variants
    • SKF12C [Inner height = 12mm]
    • SKF15C [Inner height = 15mm]
  • Openable variants (Chambers can be opened and closed with a zipper) 
    • SKF12O [Inner height = 12mm]

Installation dimensions

  • A = 37.5mm
  • B = 100mm
  • R = 40 - 100mm
  • S = up to 3000m
  • H = from 80mm
  • Lk = S/2 + K
  • K = 3.14 x R (largest bend radius of guided cables) + 2 x 100mm + 2 x 37.5mm

Distribution rules
 

1Rule:
  • SKF12C: [A] Inner height = 12mm | [B] Outer height = 13mm ➔ Cable diameter 10mm
  • SKF15C:  [A] Inner height = 15mm | [B] Outer height = 16 mm ➔ Cable diameter 13 mm
2Rule:
  • SKF12O: [A] Inner height = 12mm | [B] Outer height = 13mm ➔ Cable diameter 10mm
3Rule:
  • Pod with enclosed support chain SKF.S for unsupported lengths of the SKF12C and for the avoidance of abrasion

Assembly notes


 
e-skin® flat cable guidance system In the case of the openable version, the sections can be opened individually.
e-skin® flat cable guidance system The cables can be fitted according to your requirements. Please note that only cables with the same diameter can be placed in a chamber.

After being filled, the e-skin flat can easily be closed by hand or with the MT.SK.914.868 tool.

If several chambers are needed, additional sections can simply be added.

The tapered section at the end is clamped in place due to the mounting brackets being screwed on and there is therefore no strain on the cables.
