COUPLERS: The loading and deflection tables for Unistrut Cable

Tray assume that the couplers are located at the most onerous
position within the span (i.e. mid span).
To maintain the load/deflection figures stated in the tables, the
couplers should not be located in end spans or over support
locations. Straight couplers were utilized for the testing of the
medium and heavy duty cable trays. Only one pair of couplers
should be installed per span.

DEFLECTION: Unistruts load and deflection figures are in

accordance with CEI/IEC 61537:2001, with the characteristic
deflection of Unistrut Cable Tray limited to span/100. and load
figures inclusive of a safety factor of 1.7.

Unistruts load testing is in accordance with CEI/IEC 61537:2001.

In practical terms this covers continuous/multi span installations,
evenly loaded along the length of, and across the full width of the
tray. The end spans in these installations should be reduced to
0.75 of the intermediate spans.
