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 […]
Yes, if, for example, the space is very cramped or a trough is out of the question for cost reasons. Then, e.g. an autoglide system can be used. A comb-like autoglide crossbar and a side-mounted sliding wing merge with the e-chain. With the selected series up to 80 m travel and a travel speed of […]
Lk = S/2 + K2 The e-chain glides on one half of the lower run and on the other half on a glide bar, as shown in the picture above. Lk = length of the e-chain S = length of travel S/2 = half length of travel R = bend radius ΔM = deviation from […]
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 […]
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 […]
