Igus 250-03-055 6' Snap Open Cable Carrier 6 Ft

Product Description

The IGUS 250-03-055 6' is a snap-open cable and hose carrier designed to guide, protect, and organize cables and hoses in moving machine applications. Constructed from Igumid G, a glass-fiber-reinforced nylon compound, this carrier delivers high mechanical strength and resistance to abrasion and chemicals. It measures 1.5 inches inside width by 0.98 inches inside height, with a bend radius of 2.16 inches, making it well-suited for compact installations with tight routing paths. The 6-foot length is made up of 17 linked sections at a link-to-link pitch of 1.81 inches. Mechanical and electrical technicians install this carrier on CNC machines, automated assembly equipment, and other linear or rotary motion systems where cable management is critical.

This carrier is used in industrial and commercial machine tool environments where cables, pneumatic hoses, or fluid lines must travel with a moving axis. The snap-open design allows technicians to insert or remove cables without disassembling the entire carrier, saving time during installation, maintenance, and cable replacement. Its compact cross-section fits into tight cable track channels and mounting brackets common in automated equipment. The 6-foot assembled length suits standard-travel linear axes found on light-duty CNC routers, cartesian robots, and similar motion platforms.

Key Features

• Snap-open side links allow fast cable insertion and removal without full disassembly
• Igumid G construction provides glass-fiber-reinforced strength with resistance to oils, coolants, and abrasion
• 1.5-inch inside width and 0.98-inch inside height accommodate a range of cable and hose bundles
• 2.16-inch bend radius supports compact routing in machines with limited travel clearance
• 17 sections at 1.81-inch pitch deliver consistent articulation along the full 6-foot length
• Meets VDE 0304 IIC and UL 94 1H flammability and electrical standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style cable and hose carrier for industrial motion applications requiring a snap-open track with 1.5-inch inside width, 0.98-inch inside height, and a 2.16-inch bend radius. Verify mounting bracket spacing and travel length against machine specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a mechanical or electrical technician familiar with cable management systems on automated equipment. De-energize and lock out all affected machine axes before routing cables through the carrier. Snap-open links should be closed and confirmed secure along the full length after cable loading. Consult the machine manufacturer and applicable local codes for mounting fastener requirements and minimum bend radius clearances.
