Igus 10-1-038-0 6' Fixed Open Cable Carrier 6 Ft

Product Description

The IGUS 10-1-038-0 6' is a fixed open cable and hose carrier manufactured from Igumid G, a self-lubricating, abrasion-resistant polymer engineered for continuous flexing cable management applications. At 6 feet in overall length with an inside width of 0.59 inches and an inside height of 0.71 inches, this carrier organizes and protects cables, hoses, and pneumatic lines routed along linear or articulating motion systems. The outside envelope measures 1.02 inches wide by 0.91 inches tall, keeping the footprint compact for tight installations. With a 1.5-inch bend radius and 23 link sections at a link-to-link pitch of 1.20 inches, it delivers controlled, repeatable flexing motion. Automation technicians and machine builders install this carrier in both light industrial and OEM machine tool environments.

This carrier is suited for linear slides, robotic end-of-arm tool setups, packaging machinery, and other dynamic cable management applications where cables and hoses must move repeatedly without tangling or abrading. The fixed open top design allows cables and hoses to be loaded laterally along the full length of the carrier without disassembly, simplifying initial routing and future service access. It is appropriate for indoor industrial installations where the cable package is light and the travel stroke fits within the 6-foot carrier length.

Key Features

• Fixed open design allows lateral cable loading along the full carrier length without removing end connectors
• Igumid G polymer construction - self-lubricating and abrasion-resistant for long service life in dynamic applications
• 1.5-inch bend radius supports compact routing paths with controlled flex
• 23 link sections at 1.20-inch pitch provide consistent chain geometry over the full 6-foot length
• Meets VDE 0304, IIC, and UL 94 HB standards for material flammability and electrical suitability
• Inside dimensions of 0.59 inches wide by 0.71 inches tall suit small cable and hose bundles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style cable carrier for light-duty linear and articulating motion systems requiring a fixed open chain configuration with a 0.59-inch inside width and 1.5-inch bend radius.

Installation Notes

Cable and hose carriers are typically installed by automation technicians, OEM machine builders, or industrial maintenance electricians. Before routing cables, power down all circuits connected to the carrier system and relieve any pneumatic or hydraulic pressure in hoses being managed. Verify that cable bend radius minimums specified by the cable manufacturer are compatible with the 1.5-inch carrier bend radius before finalizing the installation. Secure both end brackets firmly to the machine frame and cable package before returning the system to service.
