Cable Tray Threaded Screw Specification Table

Cable tray threaded screws are typically M6 truss-head bolts with combination nuts, selected based on tray width, load, and material, and are used with washers and connectors for secure installation.

Common Threaded Screw Specifications for Cable Trays

ComponentSpecificationApplication / Notes
Truss-Head BoltFRS M6Used to fasten straight connectors and joint plates; passes through the inner side of the tray rail and secured with combination nuts on the outer side
Combination NutM6Works with FRS M6 bolts; ensures secure fastening without damaging cables
Threaded RodsCWT-TR-Mxx-xM (custom length)Used for suspending trays from ceilings or structures; length chosen based on load and installation height
Flat WashersCWT-FW-xxPlaced under nuts or bolt heads to distribute load and prevent damage to tray surfaces
DIN934 NutsCWT-NM8-xxStandard nuts for threaded rod connections; size selected according to rod diameter
Extension Nuts / Hanger Bolts / Steel Impact DowelsCWT-TEN-Mxx, CWT-HB-Mx-ss, CWT-SID-MxxUsed for attaching rods to different construction materials; selection depends on substrate type

Installation Notes

  • Screws should always pass through the rail from the inner side to avoid cable damage .
  • For tray widths ≥400 mm, a joint plate is recommended to prevent transverse bending; optional for widths ≤300 mm .
  • Cable trays can be mounted indoors or outdoors depending on corrosion protection (galvanized, stainless steel, or pre-galvanized steel), .
  • Ambient temperature range for installation: ‒20 °C to 120 °C; below ‒20 °C, material may become brittle .
  • Fasteners must comply with IEC 61537:2006 standards for cable management systems .

Material and Corrosion Considerations

  • Steel: Pre-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized for general use .
  • Stainless Steel: AISI 316L recommended for high corrosion resistance, especially in chlorinated or outdoor environments .
  • Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, suitable for less mechanically demanding installations .

This table and notes provide a practical reference for selecting threaded screws and related fasteners for cable tray systems, ensuring compliance with standards and safe installation.
