To ensure that cables with large cross-sections and heavy weight can be safely guided in hanging applications, igus has developed the e-loop as an alternative to the service loop. The energy supply system is a round, three-dimensional modular system that can move strain-relieved cables with a defined bend radius. The cables can be used individually […]
Supplying power, data, fibre optics, air, water and oil to rotatingapplications is amajor challenge for machinery designers. Energy chains offer the most universal and modular solution, with a single system for all energy, data and media. igus has experience in almost every area – from small industrial plant applications androtary applications in machine tools up […]
The e-chains for vertical heavy duty applications in oil, gas, offshore, shore power and civil engineering. The e-loopcombines the advantages of a plastic e-chain with those of a high-tensile Dyneema rope. Ideal for three-dimensional movements. The tensile forces are absorbed by the rope and passed through the mounting brackets into the support structure. As a […]
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 […]
