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 […]

Can I also get a coloured energy chain?

Phillip Hagedorn | 3. July 2019

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 […]

What is the maximum fill weight?

Phillip Hagedorn | 3. July 2019

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 […]
