What is the continuous operating temperature of e-chains?

Phillip Hagedorn | 3. July 2019

Our energy chains are made of the material igumid. For certain applications or requirements, the material is extended with additional functions. These materials then differ in their fields of application. Also, the continuous operating temperatures are different. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!

How do I balance alignment tolerances from my travel to the guide trough?

Phillip Hagedorn | 3. July 2019

The igus balancing unit FTA for gliding applications with energy chains. The floating moving end provides compensation for moving end arms with strong lateral offset. As a result, the energy chain operates neatly without force in the guide trough. This ensures a reduction of wear. The service life of the application is thus extended many […]

What is the ideal glide surface for the energy chain?

Phillip Hagedorn | 3. July 2019

Friction occurs especially in a long travel. The igus® energy chains are very suitable to minimise this. There are different solutions for mating surfaces. The best choice is the igus® plastic glide bar for a gliding application. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!

Are there energy chains with FDA approval?

Phillip Hagedorn | 3. July 2019

Yes, if an FDA-approved igus energy chain solution is needed, we can recommend the TH3 e-chain. This energy chain has been developed especially for the food and beverage industry. The design prevents friction from material to material. The open design supports the easy and quick cleaning of the hygienic design solution. In addition, the TH3 […]
