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 […]
Especially for the packaging, food and beverage industry special requirements are called for in the design of energy chains. These must be, for example, always easy to clean. The igus® energy chain series TH3 has been specially developed to meet these requirements. Their design is intended for efficient cleaning. In addition, there is no friction […]
Travel speeds up to 5m/s in continuous operation are possible and in use on current applications. Even higher speeds are possible in special cases. For example, e-chain from the E4 system achieve speeds of 22 m/s and accelerations of 784 m/s2 in crash test units. However, these only require a few thousand cycles a year. […]
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!
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 […]
