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) […]
Finding the right energy chain for a specific application is not easy at first glance. The areas of application are very different from each other. From the e-chain for large harbour crane systems with a length of 1,000 m in the outdoor area to small machines for PCB assembly with cycle rates beyond one hundred […]
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 […]
triflex R e-chains can also be used in cleanroom applications. The used material igumid NB is used in other e-chains designs, which are certified with the ISO class 1 by the IPA Fraunhofer Institute. However, the application is decisive in 3-axis e-chains in robotic applications – in these applications, the energy supply often come into […]
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 […]
