Are triflex R e-chains cleanroom compatible?

cweiss | 5. July 2019

triflex R e-chains can also be used in cleanroom applications. The used material igumid NB is used in other e-chains designs, which are certified with the ISO class 1 by the IPA Fraunhofer Institute. However, the application is decisive in 3-axis e-chains in robotic applications – in these applications, the energy supply often come into […]

In mounting brackets of energy chains, what does “locking” or “pivoting” mean?

Marco Thull | 5. July 2019

The mounting chain link at the beginning and end of the energy chain can be made as lockingor moving. Pivoting connections are used as standard, but in vertical standing applications locking connections can be used, for instance, to prevent the chain from swinging away. In order to obtain additional stability, the mounting brackets are often […]

How high is the tensile strength in triflex R e-chains?

cweiss | 5. July 2019

Each size of the triflex R e-chains has different tensile forces, which range from 50 N to 1,000 N. igus distinguishes between different versions TRE.B, TRC, TRCF, TRL and TRLF. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!

Are plastic energy chains resistant to special chemicals?

Marco Thull | 5. July 2019

The material of which igus e-chains are made has to cope with a great deal of stress such as pressure and tensile strain, and must be abrasion-resistant, very sturdy and have a high modulus of elasticity, whereby it must also exhibit stable behaviour at high and low temperatures and be suitable for use in conjunction […]

How strong are vibrations in the e-chains?

Marco Thull | 4. July 2019

Energy supply systems should have lowvibration, so that the precision of machinery and equipment are not affected negatively. However, commercially available models show considerable differences in the vibration behaviour. How strong are the vibrations of energy chains of different manufacturers? The Laboratory for Machine Tools and Industrial Engineering (WZL) of the RWTH Aachen wanted to […]
