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 […]

The clearance height HF indicates the required installation height. All igus e-chain series are manufactured with pretension. In the clearance height section, you will find the measurement HF, which specifies the necessary clearance height, taking the pretension into account. HF = H + X HF = Required clearance height H = Nominal clearance height X […]
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 […]
