2.1.3 Horizontal Cable Holder
This holder is used to facilitate rotation by increasing the torque provided by the cable. When using the
Horizontal Cable
Holder
:
1. Slide the horizontal cable holder into the cable adapter, with its clamp facing down (Fig.
). The rod is held in
place using a 2-56 set-screw on the underside of the adapter.
2. Secure the clamp (facing down) onto the cable adapter rod using a #4-40 nylon set-screw.
3. Loop the electrical cable into the clamp, and secure it using a #4-40 nylon socket head cap screw (Fig.
). This
allows increased torque on the rotary joint when the clamp is displaced from the center of rotation.
