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 […]
The maximum fill weight depends on the e-chain used, type of installation FLG/FLB and the unsupported length. The respective maximum weight can be taken from the FLG or the FLB diagram. In a gliding application, especially push/pull forces and speed must be taken into account. We look forward to hearing from you about this! Vote […]
If theigus energy supply is designed for a long travel, then the moving end must be lowered. This allows an earlier placement of the upper run on the lower run. This prevents a higher load on the first chain links after the moving end. The e-chain must be able to move freely over the entire […]
Yes, if, for example, the space is very cramped or a trough is out of the question for cost reasons. Then, e.g. an autoglide system can be used. A comb-like autoglide crossbar and a side-mounted sliding wing merge with the e-chain. With the selected series up to 80 m travel and a travel speed of […]
Lk = S/2 + K2 The e-chain glides on one half of the lower run and on the other half on a glide bar, as shown in the picture above. Lk = length of the e-chain S = length of travel S/2 = half length of travel R = bend radius ΔM = deviation from […]
