Multiplane Cable Protector

The Multiplane Cable Protector has a ball and socket (shoulder) joint between each interlocking module, providing a more conventional cable bend restrictor than the Uniplane design. The Multiplane Cable Protector allows the cable to move in any direction up to the lock out minimum cable bend radius.

The normal material is ductile iron. Typical minimum bend radius is set to 2000mm, with a typical pitch length per module of 400mm. Socket head cap screws are used as fixing bolts between each pair.

Bending tests on 120mm bore ductile iron castings have demonstrated the capability to withstand 50kN.m bending moment without permanent deformation.
