Suggestions for Cable Suspension

(OP)
Hey guys,

I am currently designing a hanging cable harness in order to take the axial load off of a rotary electrical joint (because the bearings can only support radial stress).
At the moment, I am thinking of securing the cable with a collar and a wire cable sock (you can see it here -> http://www.cablegrip.com/de/dtype.php) but I am curious if there any other mechanisms out there. All suggestions would be helpful.

I hope I haven't posted this in the wrong thread but it didn't really seem to fit in the mechanical forums and I thought there might be some electrical engineers out there who have experience with this stuff.

Anyways, here's some additional information about my setup:
Electrical: 1.5kW max @ 250V and 6A from a 3-phase generator
Cable: 15mm diameter with 3 wires inside and insulation (PVC) (around the 3-wire pack) of about 2mm thickness

Thanks again!
