e-chains are virtually maintenance-free and can run for years without any problems. They only require visual inspections to ensure that the system is in a working condition. Busbar systems work in a different way. They consist of components that require regular inspection – including the shoes installed on the pantographs. The problem: To service these […]
e-chains are compact and increase plant reliability and productivity. If the chain folds, the upper and lower run reach a height of around 800 millimeters. Cables and hoses are safely guided with interior separators, so that they can never cross each other and get tangled up together. The risk of cable break: reduced to a […]
A lowered connecting point is absolutely necessary for every gliding application: To prevent chain breakage through critical sag. To reduce wear (if the moving end is not lowered, there is more abrasion) Example: If we move the e-chain from right to left till the gap between the upper run and the lower run is 1mm, […]
If the unsupported length of a series is exceeded according to the FLG diagram (fill weight, travel), the following options are available. Choose a more stable e-chain. Example: E4.42, additional weight 15 kg/m; travel/unsupported length: 5 m/2.5 m Under these conditions, the E4.42 is in “critical sag”. If an energy chain is required in the […]
With a mounting angle between 3-5°, the e-chain is slightly forced downward by the push/pull force. This prevents the rising up of the e-chain. The angle of incidence of the upper run to the lower run is approximately 3-5°. This angle is also ideal for reducing wear. If the upper run is installed in parallel […]
