High-Performance Hybrid Carrier for Heavy Dynamic Loads
TKHP Series
High-performance cable carriers engineered for long travel lengths and high additional loads. Aluminium stays adjustable in 1 mm width increments with optional roller damping system (RSD) deliver quiet, precise heavy-duty operation across travel lengths to 200 m.
Why Choose TKHP Series?
Millimetre-Precise Width Customisation
TKHP's aluminium stays are adjustable in 1 mm width increments across 100–800 mm, allowing the inner width to be set to exactly match the cable bundle. Proper cable fill geometry is critical at long travel lengths — cables that shift sideways in an over-wide carrier experience bending stress that degrades insulation and connectors over time.
RSD Roller Damping for Quiet Long-Travel Operation
The optional Roller Damping System (RSD) replaces conventional sliding glide shoes with rolling elements, dramatically reducing travel resistance and operational noise at long travel lengths. Cranes, gantries, and transfer lines operating at 150–200 m travel can suffer significant carrier noise without damping — RSD eliminates this problem.
Replaceable Glide Shoes Extend Service Life
Rather than replacing the entire carrier when glide surfaces wear, TKHP uses replaceable glide shoes. Worn shoes are swapped out in minutes without dismounting the carrier, extending the carrier's total service life and reducing total cost of ownership in heavy continuous-duty applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RSD (Roller Damping System) and when should I specify it?
The RSD replaces the standard glide shoe contact interface with a roller bearing contact. This reduces friction and noise substantially at long travel lengths and high speeds. Specify RSD when travel exceeds 100 m, when noise is a concern, or when the carrier runs at high cycle rates in a continuous production environment.
Can TKHP be used in hanging configurations on cranes?
Yes. TKHP is one of Tsubaki's preferred solutions for crane applications with long travel lengths. The robust double fork-bracket side band construction handles the gravitational loads in hanging configurations. RSTECH can calculate the hanging travel limit for your specific cable and carrier combination.
