Cable Tray Offset Fundamentals
Offset Types
Different offset configurations:
- Horizontal: Side-to-side movement
- Vertical: Up and down movement
- Rolling: Combined horizontal and vertical
Bend Angles
- 30°: Gradual bends, longer travel
- 45°: Standard installation angle
- 60°: Steeper bends, shorter travel
- 90°: Right angle turns
Key Formulas:
Cut Length = Offset Distance / sin(Angle)
Travel = Offset Distance / tan(Angle)
Rolling Offset = √(Horizontal² + Vertical²)
Calculation Formulas
Horizontal Offset:
Cut Length = Offset Distance / sin(Angle)
Vertical Offset:
Travel = Offset Distance / tan(Angle)
Rolling Offset:
Total Offset = √(H² + V²)
Example Calculation
Horizontal Offset at 45°:
Offset Distance: 12 inches
Tray Width: 6 inches
Bend Angle: 45°
Cut Length = 12 / sin(45°) = 16.97 inches
Travel = 12 / tan(45°) = 12.00 inches
Material = Cut Length + Tray Width = 22.97 inches
