Medium-Duty Plastic Cable Carriers (PKK System)
ALL THE ADVANTAGES IN ONE SYSTEM
If you have larger applications that require a more robust cable carrier, you might want to step up to the PKK. While made of the same material as the KOLIBRI, the four-piece construction of the PKK makes it a sturdy platform for larger applications.
- Durable Construction: Boasting plastic sidebands, the PKK system offers a wide variety of frame stays that offer robustness and longevity
- Versatile Frame Stay Options: Choose from plastic bars or lids, round aluminum bars with plastic rollers, or wide aluminum bars or lids for enhanced strength, wear resistance, and added protection
- Streamlined Installation: Each link comes with integrated mounting holes, often eliminating the need for additional mounting brackets, saving you time and effort
- Enhanced Stability: Our locking link-to-link connection design increases strength and enables unsupported spans, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding applications
- Easy Assembly/Disassembly: The fast stay assembly and disassembly design simplifies maintenance and adjustments, minimizing downtime
- Exceptional Rigidity and Wear Resistance: Extremely rigid and wear resistant, ensuring reliable cable protection and reducing the risk of damage
- Quick Length Adjustment: Enjoy quick and easy length adjustment to accommodate varying cable lengths and configurations, providing flexibility for your setup
- Smooth Motion: Smooth motion right from the start, eliminating the need for break-in time
- Travel Distance: The maximum distance of travel is determined by the arrangement and additional weight of the lines, but normal arrangement provides a maximum travel of double the free carrying length; travel distances up to 100 meters are possible
- Travel Speed and Acceleration: There are no limits to travel speed or accelerations in general, but application-specific influences may limit this such as line weight (support rollers or similar constructive steps can increase this value)
- Wide Temperature Range: Long term temperature limits are between -20°C and 100°C (-4°F and 212°F).
All of our systems are equipped with an integrated plastic connector. Additional components for attaching the energy chain are not required.

DIMENSIONS
- bending radii: 40 - 500 mm (1.57" - 19.69")
- inner height: 16 - 80 mm (0.63" - 3.15")
- inner width: 30 - 400 mm (1.18" - 15.75")
- weight: 0.6 - 3.4 kg/m (0.40 - 2.28 lb/ft)
TEMPERATURE
Long term temperature limits are between -20°C and 100°C (-4ºF - 212ºF).
TRAVEL DISTANCE
The maximum range of travel is determined by the arrangement and the additional weight (line weight). At normal arrangement the maximum travel is double free carrying length. Support rollers or similar constructive steps can increase this value. Travel distances up to 100 meters are possible.
TRAVEL SPEED
There are no limits for the travel speed in general, but with gliding arrangements application-specific influences have to be taken into account.
ACCELERATION
There are no limits for the accelerations, in general. Limits may occur through the tensile stresses at high line weights.
SPECIAL VARIANTS
- ELTOLA: silent running
- ALLROUND: all movements
- ATEX: EX-protection
- ESD: antistatic
- V-0: self-extinguishing
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Cable carriers, commonly referred to as energy chains, are machine components that guide and protect cables and hoses on a variety of linear motion applications.
