The e-chains for vertical heavy duty applications in oil, gas, offshore, shore power and civil engineering. The e-loopcombines the advantages of a plastic e-chain with those of a high-tensile Dyneema rope. Ideal for three-dimensional movements. The tensile forces are absorbed by the rope and passed through the mounting brackets into the support structure. As a […]
The principle of gliding application: If the upper run of the energy chain rests on its lower run during the travel, it is called a “gliding application”. If the unsupported length is not sufficient, the gliding application is the best alternative for long travels. For lateral guidance, a guide trough or a guide channel is […]
Supplying power, data, fibre optics, air, water and oil to rotating applications is a major challenge for machinery designers. Energy chains offer the most universal and modular solution, with a single system for all energy, data and media. Pay attention to the correct filling of the energy chain Pay attention to the correct bend radii […]
The e-loop combines the advantages of a plastic e-chain with those of a high-tensile Dyneema rope. Ideal for three-dimensional movements. The tensile forces are absorbed by the rope and passed through the mounting brackets into the support structure. As a result, the cables are completely free of strain. The cable replacement is very simple: Unhook, […]
The crane technology most commonly uses the e-chains family E4 and the P4 roller energy chain. They comply with standards and can be used universally – more than 30,000 cranes worldwide are equipped with these igus energy chains. Compared to festooning and the busbar system, the e-chains are more energy-efficient, wear-resistant and low-maintenance. Vote Up […]
