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*, […]
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 […]
The material of which igus e-chains are made has to cope with a great deal of stress such as pressure and tensile strain, and must be abrasion-resistant, very sturdy and have a high modulus of elasticity, whereby it must also exhibit stable behaviour at high and low temperatures and be resistant to hot chips. As […]
Pivoting mounting brackets are used as standard. In pivoting connections, a pivoting movement takes place between the mounting bracket and the first chain link. Locking mountig brackets are used in vertical standing applications – here, a locking connection is created between the first chain link and mounting bracket, which avoids a swing out of the […]
