Can I also get a coloured energy chain?

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

What is meant by ‘prevention of crash’ here?

igu-blog-adm | 2. July 2019

Defects in equipment cannot always be predicted and avoided. If, for example, an energy chain fails, apart from the damaged energy supply, the entire system can quickly get damaged and shut down for a long time. In contrast, if, for example, a break detection EC.B is installed in the e-chain, this detects a defect such […]

How are triflex R dress packs assembled?

Marco Thull | 2. July 2019

Depending on the size and type, there are various ways in which individual chain links or entire e-chain systems are assembled or disassembled. For this purpose, igus provides a suitable assembly tool for the TRE.B, TRC and TRCF series. Using simple tips and tricks, these chain links can be assembled as well as disassembled. In […]
