How does the cable tray rotate

Home / How does the cable tray rotate

It is not possible to rotate cable tray about its cross-section axis, but with beams you can. Whilst this can be achieved with structural beam elements, this cannot be achieved with the out of the box cable tray families. However, Cable Trays do have certain limitations in that the channel shape can only be set to a horizontal aspect where the bottom edge runs parallel to its supports. This entry will show the pro's and con's on the workarounds currently used for vertical (face-based, if you will) cable trays. Selecting the right cable carrier system can be challenging, but it's essential for optimizing performance and reliability in rotary applications. Placing channel cable trays upside down is also desirable, I have seen some constructions using this positioning, mainly for small size ones.
