Cable Support

Cable Support Assembly

CAD modeling of a mechanical support with a roller for guiding cables;

Visão geral

The cable support assembly is a mechanical assembly composed of a structural body, a roller, and a central pin. The body supports the roller, which rotates around the pin to guide cables.

The design was developed from a technical drawing, using CAD modeling to represent the components and their assembly.

Components

Structural Body

Features a base with four mounting holes, two "ears" to support the axle, and structural reinforcements.

• Base: 174 x 46 mm

  Approximate thickness: 14 mm

  Mounting holes: 4 x 10 mm

  Axle holes: 14 mm

Roller

Rotating component that guides the cable through channels.

• Approximate outer diameter: 56 mm

• Center hole: 14 mm

• Width: 26 mm

Pino central

It passes through the body and the roller, functioning as an axis of rotation.

• Nominal diameter: 14mm

• Length: 70mm

• End chamfers: 2 x 45°

Modeling and assembly

The process basically consists of:

• Interpret the views and cons of the drawing

• Model the body, roller, and pin

• Assemble the components aligned with the holes aligned (otherwise you won't be able to assemble it lol)

• Check for clearances, interferences, and roller rotation

• Verify the main dimensions

Manufacturing and limitations

The model can be prepared for 3D printing using materials such as PLA or PETG. For greater strength, I strongly recommend using a metal pin instead of printing it.

Before manufacturing or use, tolerances, materials, pin retention, and overall strength must be checked.

Final conclusion

The project represents a mechanical support with a roller for cable guiding, developed from a technical drawing. It allowed me to practice some concepts of CAD modeling, mechanical assembly, and factory preparation.
