Can I also implement a long travel without a guide trough?

Phillip Hagedorn | 3. July 2019

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 […]

How do I calculate the chain length for a long travel?

Phillip Hagedorn | 3. July 2019

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 […]
