The Alu Guide System (TKAL) for long travel applications and high loads ensures secure guidance and smooth running of the energy chain in a gliding and rolling application.

The standardized channel profiles of 1000 / 2000 mm in length can be individually adjusted to the width of the chain. They can be quickly and easily be installed with the help of a mounting kit. Such UMB mounting kits are also available for attaching the fixed-point of the energy chain.

The optional damping band additionally reduces noise emission and guarantees an even quieter running of the chain.

TSUBAKI KABELSCHLEPP also offer the Alu Guide System (TKAL) together with the appropriate energy chain as well as with the ready-to-install TOTALTRAX® System including cables.
