The maximum unsupported length of an e-chain depends on the selected series and the additional weight. You can find whether a combination of selected e-chain and additional weight will work can be found in the FLG/FLB graph belonging to the series. Here is an example for the E4.42. series: If the additional load is 10 […]
Since the e-chain is dependent on fill weight, we distinguish between three stages of unsupported length: 01) Unsupported length – straight FLG The e-chain is in the range FLG if its upper run is either still pretensioned, straight or has a maximum sag of half a chain link height. Installing in FLG is always recommended. […]
Cables and hoses to be routed in e-chains need sufficient clearance space . The following space reserves are required: Electric round cables 10% Pneumatic cables 5-10% Hydraulic cables 20% Media hoses 20% Minimum clearances upwards and to the sides must be complied with. What are the filling rules for energy chains? […]
The chain length calculation (only in German) is made for an unsupported or gliding application. Unsupported: If the supply point is outside the centre, the formula for calculating the chain length is as follows: K = π x R + (2 x T) Lk = length of the e-chain S = length of travel S/2 […]
Especially when the installation space is tight, installing a side-mounted e-chain is helpful. It is important to pay attention to whether the e-chain glides on a surface or is designed for unsupported application. Gliding: If the e-chain is gliding horizontally mounted on the side, special attention must be paid to the following points: Use of […]
