In mounting brackets of energy chains, what does “locking” or “pivoting” mean?

Marco Thull | 5. July 2019

The mounting chain link at the beginning and end of the energy chain can be made as lockingor moving. Pivoting connections are used as standard, but in vertical standing applications locking connections can be used, for instance, to prevent the chain from swinging away. In order to obtain additional stability, the mounting brackets are often […]

Are plastic energy chains resistant to special chemicals?

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 suitable for use in conjunction […]
