The lower run is the lower side of an energy chain. The lower run usually rests on a support base during horizontal linear movements. If the upper run is extended and thus longer, the lower run simultaneously becomes shorter. In the other direction it is the other way round. A lower run can also be […]

Marco Thull | 3. July 2019

If the unsupported length of a series is exceeded according to the FLG diagram (fill weight, travel), the following options are available. Choose a more stable e-chain. Example: E4.42, additional weight 15 kg/m; travel/unsupported length: 5 m/2.5 m Under these conditions, the E4.42 is in “critical sag”. If an energy chain is required in the […]
