Centaur® cable saddles are designed to support cables with diameters from 100mm to 162mm, from support steelwork at centres of up to 8.4m.
Centaur consists of an extruded and pressed aluminium saddle and a hinged aluminium overstrap. The curvature of the saddle accommodates the thermal expansion of the cable and the ends of the saddle are flared so that the cable never comes into contact with a sharp edge under any circumstances.The overstrap incorporates a Low Smoke Zero Halogen Polymeric liner, which cushions the cable in the event of a short-circuit.
All the fixing bolts are in Type 316L stainless steel. To eliminate the possibility of galvanic corrosion all dissimilar metals are isolated from each other by injection moulded separation washers. Centaur saddles are available in lengths of 400, 600 and 800mm to allow for different cable diameters and mounting centres. Centaur can be supplied with a variety of rigid or flexible mounting arrangements.
