What should be considered in energy supply for use outdoors?

Marco Thull | 5. July 2019

Outdoor use is generally uncritical for energy supply systems. Energy chains are very tough and withstand extreme temperatures below freezing. Each energy chain is tested in the igus in-house test laboratory in a refrigerated container at -40 degrees Celsius and on an outdoor test track under real conditions. For special requirements, energy chains are also […]

What is a plastic plain bearing doing in an energy chain?

Marco Thull | 5. July 2019

There is a bearing point for pivoting movement in every connection of the chain links. This was equipped with a maintenance-free tribo-polymer plain bearing. The igus iglidur plain bearing ensures that the wear on these “joints” of the energy chain is kept to a minimum and that the service life can be significantly increased. In […]

What is the maximum tensile force of the e-loop?

Tim Schneebeck | 5. July 2019

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 result, the cables are completely free of strain. The maximum tensile force is 50 kN Vote […]

From which special materials can triflex R e-chains be produced?

cweiss | 5. July 2019

For this, a distinction must first be made in the different series. TRE, TRC, TRL consist of igumid NB. The series TRLF and TRCF consist of igumid G. Due to the round shape and the connectors (ball and socket principle), all triflex R e-chains can only be made in ESD material. The well-known HT (HEAT) […]
