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 […]
Depending on the application, pivoting or locking mounting brackets are recommended. Pivoting mounting brackets are movable in the connection to the first chain link, which means that here a radius can also be moved. A locking mounting bracket is fixed in the connection to the first chain link, which means that this connection does not […]
With the igus service life calculator the service life of the application can be calculated in advance. The data to which the computer refers are based on many tests conducted at the igus test laboratory. The statement from our computer is therefore already very reliable today and will become even more accurate with every additional […]
Locking, that is non-movable, mounting brackets are used particularly in hanging and standing applications The locking connection of mounting bracket to the first chain link prevents arching of the energy chain. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!
Yes, igus offers different e-chains, which can also be used in a cleanroom. Extensive tests were carried out with the energy chains for this purpose at the Fraunhofer Institute. A selection of qualified e-chains can be found here. ISO Class 1: E3, E6.1, E6, e-skin ISO Class 2: easychain, zipper, E2 mini*, E2.1*, E2/000 E4.1*, […]
