Brand alternative
Is your machine fitted with a Murrplastik cable carrier and are you running into lead time, price or availability? There is nearly always an equivalent Tsubaki Kabelschlepp version. We compare what technically matters — inner dimensions, bend radius, unsupported length and design type — and find the equivalent for you.
On working days you receive a tailored quotation by email within 3 hours.
Switching makes sense when a series is hard to source, when several brands sit in your spare parts stock, or when a retrofit replaces everything anyway. It makes less sense halfway along an existing axis: mixing brands in one carrier means links and dividers do not match and the joint develops play. In that case replace the whole run at once.
Four things count. First the inner dimensions: width and height must hold the cable package with about 10% clearance. Second the bend radius, at least ten to fifteen times the diameter of the thickest cable. Third the fill weight per metre combined with the unsupported or guided length. Fourth the design: open with crossbars, enclosed with cover strip, or tubes. If those four match, the new carrier does exactly the same job.
The critical point in any brand change is the end connectors: hole patterns, height and the position of the driver bracket differ per manufacturer. We supply end connectors from the same series and share the hole spacing in advance, so you know whether the existing bracket can be reused or an adapter plate is needed. If in doubt we draw it.
A photo of the carrier, the type number on the link if legible, plus inner width, inner height, bend radius and travel length. With that we send the Kabelschlepp equivalent with article number, price and lead time — within three hours on working days. If the size is uncertain we recalculate it from your cable package.
Over 4,200 articles are in stock. Order before 15:00 and it ships the same working day. From ten pieces or metres the volume discount applies automatically in the webshop; for project quantities we make a tailored quotation.
A photo and dimensions in the quotation form is enough. We find the Kabelschlepp equivalent and send price and lead time within three hours on working days.
