CABLETRAK
components require no special tools for installation or servicing. You will only need a 1/4" (6 mm) wide flat tip screwdriver approxi-
mately 6" (15 cm) long.
While most travel should be along the primary axis, CABLETRAK
feature makes it ideal for use on robots and other machines. CAUTION: Travel along third axis will damage track.

2.1 Link Frame - U-shaped body with a wide ribbed beam molded integrally with the side plates
having holes and accurate slots or holes and pins.
2.2 Retaining Bar - Removable ribbed bar located at top (open end) of the link frame and held
in place by a hook at one end and a clip at the other end. The bars are factory installed, so
the link compartment may be accessed from one side of the CABLETRAK
when removed, they can be flipped end for end so access is at the other side of the
CABLETRAK
®
. This is a unique feature to help ease compartment access of an installed
®
CABLETRAK
. NOTE: Removable retaining bars not available on model types HCT10114
and HCT10219.
2.3 Mounting Brackets - Plated steel brackets are secured at both ends of the CABLETRAK
for a strong, reliable assembly. The brackets can be pivoted 90° for face type mounting or
inverted.
3. REMOVAL AND ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
Determine the link(s) to be removed and simply insert the blade of a 1/4" (6 mm) wide flat tip screwdriver
between the side-walls and gently pry apart until the outer wall pulls free from the link. See Figure 3-2.
Carefully repeat the same at the opposite side of the joint and pull links apart.
To assemble, match locking posts on link frame side walls, with slots in link frame side walls and
snap into place. See Figure 3-3. NOTE: When adding links, be sure to install them in the same
orientation as the existing CABLETRAK
