The maximum unsupported length of an e-chain depends on the selected series and the additional weight. You can find whether a combination of selected e-chain and additional weight will work can be found in the FLG/FLB graph belonging to the series. Here is an example for the E4.42. series: If the additional load is 10 […]
Since the e-chain is dependent on fill weight, we distinguish between three stages of unsupported length: 01) Unsupported length – straight FLG The e-chain is in the range FLG if its upper run is either still pretensioned, straight or has a maximum sag of half a chain link height. Installing in FLG is always recommended. […]
A lowered connecting point is absolutely necessary for every gliding application: To prevent chain breakage through critical sag. To reduce wear (if the moving end is not lowered, there is more abrasion) Example: If we move the e-chain from right to left till the gap between the upper run and the lower run is 1mm, […]
