igus designs e-chains in such a way that they have very low noise. A TÜV Rheinland report confirms: The E6.1 series has a measured sound pressure level of only 37 dB (A). Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!
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 […]
In order for machines to operate with low vibration and thus reliably and precisely, designers in energy chains must master the so-called polygon effect . If the chain does not run completely round in the bending segment, a circle, which is the ideal movement for the chain, becomes a polygon. During the unwinding of the […]
In order to digitise processes, more users are integrating machines and systems into the Internet of Things. This benefits, for example, the maintenance. So far, service technicians had to regularly inspect thousands of components on site. A job that is not only time-consuming, but also error-prone. Small defects are easily overlooked. The alternative in the […]
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 […]
