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, […]
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!
Yes. The basic igus energy chains are always black. e-chains in any colour shown in the colour selection chart are subject to a percentage-based colour surcharge. Any other colours that are not shown in the chart are individually calculated depending on the part and quantity, insofar as this is technically possible. Vote Up +0 Vote […]
The maximum fill weight depends on the e-chain used, type of installation FLG/FLB and the unsupported length. The respective maximum weight can be taken from the FLG or the FLB diagram. In a gliding application, especially push/pull forces and speed must be taken into account. We look forward to hearing from you about this! Vote […]
If theigus energy supply is designed for a long travel, then the moving end must be lowered. This allows an earlier placement of the upper run on the lower run. This prevents a higher load on the first chain links after the moving end. The e-chain must be able to move freely over the entire […]
