Precision Dynamics for High-Speed Clean Applications
TKR Series
Extremely quiet and low-vibration cable carriers for highly dynamic applications. Captive connecting elements eliminate link abrasion — ideal for cleanroom environments, handling systems, metrology, and high-speed robotics where particle generation and noise cannot be tolerated.
Why Choose TKR Series?
Captive Links Eliminate Abrasion
TKR's connecting elements are captively retained within the link geometry — they cannot contact adjacent surfaces during carrier motion. This eliminates the particle generation from link-on-link abrasion, making TKR suitable for sensitive environments without the cost of a full QUANTUM or CLEANVEYOR installation.
Open at Any Point for Easy Maintenance
Unlike some high-performance carriers that require end-to-end disassembly for cable changes, TKR can be opened at any position along its length. Service engineers can access any section of the cable run without disturbing the rest of the carrier — reducing mean time to repair.
Flexible Cable Organisation
Both fixable and sliding dividers are available for TKR, allowing cables to be rigidly segregated or loosely grouped as the application demands. This flexibility makes TKR straightforward to specify and rework as cable sets evolve over a machine's life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does TKR differ from the QUANTUM Series?
Both are high-performance carriers, but QUANTUM uses a fully link-free continuous side band design for the absolute highest speeds (40 m/s) and lowest noise (31 dB(A)). TKR uses a conventional link design with captive connecting elements — still far superior to standard carriers for noise and particle emissions, at a lower cost point than QUANTUM.
Is TKR suitable for ISO Class 5 cleanroom use?
TKR's captive connecting elements prevent link abrasion particle generation, making it appropriate for semi-clean environments. For certified ISO Class 1, the CLEANVEYOR is required. Contact RSTECH to assess your specific cleanroom classification needs.
