Option:
You can design your application
to gliding. For evaluation the weight the cables carried must known, then exact
evaluation can made using diagram the introductory page the selected product.
At the same time, there are three different levels unsupported length: recommended range
of application: FLG Permitted sag: FLB Critical sag: should never allowed! Twice the
value the unsupported length determines the maximum travel the unsupported type of
