The Quietest Cable Carrier in the World
QUANTUM® Series
The quietest cable carrier in the world. Continuous side bands without link connections achieve 31 dB(A), speeds to 40 m/s, and accelerations to 300 m/s². Rated for 25 million or more motion cycles — the pinnacle of high-speed, low-noise cable carrier technology.
Why Choose QUANTUM® Series?
31 dB(A) — Quieter Than a Whisper
Conventional link carriers generate audible noise at every direction reversal through polygon effect and link impact. QUANTUM's continuous side bands have no link connections, eliminating polygon effect entirely. At 31 dB(A), QUANTUM operates in virtually complete acoustic silence — critical for medical imaging suites, metrology labs, and premium semiconductor fabs.
40 m/s Speed, 300 m/s² Acceleration
QUANTUM is rated for the fastest linear axes in existence. High-speed PCB handlers, flat panel display glass transporters, and flying-shear cutting systems all demand carrier speeds and accelerations that destroy conventional carriers within months. QUANTUM is built for exactly these demands.
25 Million Cycles and Counting
With no links to wear, QUANTUM's continuous side band design has no inherent wear mechanism. The 25 million cycle rating exceeds the total lifecycle of many machines, meaning QUANTUM is effectively a fit-and-forget solution — no carrier replacement intervals to schedule, no spare parts to stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does QUANTUM have no polygon effect?
Polygon effect occurs when a cable carrier's discrete links generate a rhythmic rise and fall as each link passes over the deflection radius — producing vibration and noise. QUANTUM's continuous side bands have no link transitions, so the carrier path changes radius smoothly with no polygon effect at all.
Can QUANTUM be used in cleanrooms?
Yes. The link-free design generates no link-on-link particle emissions, making QUANTUM suitable for controlled environments. For ISO Class 1 certification, Tsubaki's CLEANVEYOR system is the dedicated solution; QUANTUM covers semi-clean to ISO Class 3–5 environments.
Is the custom 1 mm increment inner width available in the plastic version?
The 1 mm increment inner width customisation is available in the aluminium QUANTUM variant. The plastic variant is supplied in standard width steps. Contact RSTECH for full width availability tables.
