Are plastic energy chains resistant to hot chips?

Marco Thull | 5. July 2019

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 […]

When do I take pivoting, and when locking mounting brackets?

Marco Thull | 5. July 2019

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 […]
