Basic Carrier Sizing
Step 1: List all cables and hoses.
Step 2: Determine B dimension (Inner Height) required by adding a safety factor (10% for cables, 20% for hoses) to the OD of the largest cable or hose.
Step 3: Determine A dimension (Inner Width) required by adding the ODs + appropriate safety factors (see Step 2) of all cables and hoses. If using vertical cavity separators (Page 13), add separator width. If using horizontal cavity dividers (Page 13), please consult with Gortrac at (800) 394-1547.
Step 4: Consult Sizing Index of the Quick Reference Guide (Pages 2-3) for appropriate series.
Step 5: Check C (Outer Width) and D (Outer Height) dimensions against potential space restrictions. 
Cable/Hose Safety Factor:
Cables: + 10% Hoses: + 20%
B = Cavity Height
Determined by the OD of the largest cable/hose + safety factor
A = Cavity Width
Determined by adding the ODs of all cables/hoses (= safety factor and divider widths)
C = Outer Width D = Outer Height
Step 6: Select R (Minimum Bending Radius) by consulting cable/hose manufacturer's specifications
Step 7: Check K (Depot) and H (Curve Height) dimensions against potential space restrictions
R = Radius
K = Depot
H = Curve Height
Step 8: Determine required machine travel
Step 9: Consult the Gortrac Design Guide Specifications for CL (Curve Length) of the chosen carrier
Step 10: Carrier Length = Total Travel/2 + Distance offset from center + CL CL = (R x p) + (Pitch x 2)
