Modern energy chain systems can achieve travels of 1,000 metres and more. But long travels are just where it is difficult to ensure that the guide trough is mounted exactly parallel to the crane rail, for instance. Deviations of more than +/-5 mm over a distance of 100 metres and more are difficult to avoid. To ensure that the energy chain runs over itself cleanly on the two outer belts even on long travels, a compensation unit was developed.
