Outdoor use is generally uncritical for energy supply systems. Energy chains are very tough and withstand extreme temperatures below freezing. Each energy chain is tested in the igus in-house test laboratory in a refrigerated container at -40 degrees Celsius and on an outdoor test track under real conditions. For special requirements, energy chains are also […]
There is a bearing point for pivoting movement in every connection of the chain links. This was equipped with a maintenance-free tribo-polymer plain bearing. The igus iglidur plain bearing ensures that the wear on these “joints” of the energy chain is kept to a minimum and that the service life can be significantly increased. In […]
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 result, the cables are completely free of strain. The maximum tensile force is 50 kN Vote […]
You can easily find the right energy supply for your application using the Energy chain Expert from igus. Here you can configure complete systems with interior separation, electric cables and guide trough systems online. Another way of designing an energy supply is through a field consultant. Here you can benefit from the expert knowledge of […]
It is a challenge to run energy, data and media cables in machines with inclined axes. The means of choice in the past: steel chains. Their biggest drawback, however: they are heavy. The constant vibration leads to massive wear in the area of the bolts. Time and again, there is a deformation of the crossbars, […]
