The service life of the rollers of an energy supply system generally depends on the roller material and the external environment. Free-running or unprotected rollers are exposed to external influences. In energy chain systems, rollers are integrated in the chain link and “lubricated for life” with a seawater-resistant lubricant. A replacement for such a system […]
igus currently offers different standard systems for Universal Robots, TM Robots & Kuka LBR iiwa. The e-chain systems are divided into two different divisions. Metal clamps with plastic mounting brackets for the chain sizes 30 & 40 Plastic clamps with mounting bracket (protector) for the chain size 40 Another solution for COBOTS: The flexible, injection-moulded […]

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 […]
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 […]
