CABLE RACK

550 650 89 CABLE RACK Securing electrical cables and hydraulic hoses is the primary function of this bracket. It is typically installed along the boom, feed beam, or chassis to create a safe and organized path for critical lines. By holding them firmly, it prevents damage from vibration and contact with the machine's structure, which is a common source of wear in underground environments.

A broken or missing bracket can lead to serious issues. For example, a loose control cable could snag on a moving linkage, causing an abrupt machine failure and significant downtime. This component is essential for protecting the integrity of the electrical and hydraulic systems, ensuring consistent communication between the operator controls and the drilling unit.

During routine inspections, check that all brackets are secure and free from cracks or deformation. If you notice a cable or hose is sagging, its supporting bracket may have failed. Prompt replacement is a simple preventative measure that avoids expensive repairs to the wiring harnesses or hydraulic hoses it is designed to protect.
