All products used in cleanrooms need to fulfil the same requirement: During operation, as few particles as possible should be released into the surrounding area. This is especially applicable for moving machine parts such as energy chains and cables. To generate as few particles as possible requires high abrasion resistance, and is therefore also an […]
Almost every igus® energy chain series can be fitted with various mounting brackets. There are pivoting and locking mounting brackets. These can be ordered as a set or individually, e.g. if the moving end should be locking and the fixed end pivoting. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!
An igus mounting bracket can be ordered as a set or as an individual part. The part numbers mentioned in the catalogue and on the website refer generally to a set. If you need a single mounting bracket for the moving end or fixed end, please contact us. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already […]
The principle of gliding application: If the upper run of the energy chain rests on its lower run during the travel, it is called a “gliding application”. If the unsupported length is not sufficient, the gliding application is the best alternative for long travels. For lateral guidance, a guide trough or a guide channel is […]
Supplying power, data, fibre optics, air, water and oil to rotating applications is a major challenge for machinery designers. Energy chains offer the most universal and modular solution, with a single system for all energy, data and media. Pay attention to the correct filling of the energy chain Pay attention to the correct bend radii […]
