Igus 06-20-028-0 3' Fixed Open Cable Carrier

Product Description

The IGUS 06-20-028-0 3' is a fixed open cable and hose carrier manufactured from Igumid G, a self-lubricating, glass-fiber-reinforced polymer engineered for continuous flexing applications. This carrier guides and protects cables, hoses, and pneumatic lines in automated machinery, CNC equipment, and other motion systems. It measures 0.79 inches inside width by 0.41 inches inside height, with an outside width of 1.06 inches and an outside height of 0.59 inches. The 1.1-inch bend radius controls cable flex cycles and prevents overbending. The fixed open design allows lateral cable access without disassembling the entire carrier. Installation is performed by mechanical and automation technicians.

This cable carrier is suited for light-duty linear and rotary motion applications in industrial and manufacturing environments. The 3-foot assembled length consists of 32 linked sections with a link-to-link pitch of 0.79 inches. Typical installations include machine tool slides, robotic end-of-arm tooling, semiconductor handling equipment, and packaging machinery where controlled cable management is required. The fixed open style is common where cables are loaded from the side and do not require frequent reconfiguration.

Key Features

• Igumid G construction provides self-lubrication and resistance to oils and solvents
• Fixed open top allows side-loading of cables and hoses without full disassembly
• 32 sections over 3 feet with 0.79-inch link-to-link pitch for smooth articulation
• 1.1-inch bend radius protects cables from overbending during continuous motion
• Certified to ATEX, ESD, IPA, VDE 0304 IIC, and UL 94 HB standards
• Lightweight polymer construction reduces moving mass on driven axes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation cable carrier for light-duty industrial motion applications requiring a fixed open carrier with 0.79-inch inside width and 0.41-inch inside height.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a mechanical technician or automation specialist. Disconnect and lock out all energy sources on the machine before routing or replacing the cable carrier. Secure both the fixed end and the moving end of the carrier to the appropriate mounting brackets per the machine OEM specifications. Ensure that cables and hoses routed through the carrier are not pinched at transition points and have adequate slack to accommodate the full travel range.
