Hybrid energy chain YE.1

igu-blog-adm | 12. November 2021

Our YE.1 hybrid chain, an energy chain made of plastic and steel, is available in three sizes (YE.42 – inner height 42mm, YE.56 – inner height 56mm, YEHD.108 – inner height 108mm) and is used especially frequently where long unsupported lengths are required.

An example: our E4.42 plastic energy chain achieves a maximum unsupported length of 4m. The dimensionally identical YE.42 hybrid chain achieves a maximum unsupported length of 6.5m. And if the e-chain^® is not installed horizontally, but at an angle (75°), the unsupported length can be as much as 12m.

See for yourself: in this video, a YE.42 hybrid chain is installed on a telescopic hoist platform.
