Ideally protect and guide cables and hoses

Tested!

Vibration test by the igus® lab

Objective: Service life test on e-chain® under significant vibration exposure, since the previous guide became unstable due to loosening screws

Test configuration:An igus® E4 e-chain® was installed upright and exposed to a direct vibration (comparable to a rock drill)
 
Result:No damage on the connections of the e-chain® links. No individual parts were lost.
Test laboratory for energy chains

Solutions from the igus® e-chain® construction kit that make supplying energy easier and more reliable.

System E4-1 e.g. System E4-1 – up to 350 mm inner height and 403 lbs/ft additional load
System E4-1
System E4 "Heavy Duty" e.g. E4 "Heavy Duty" – even more rugged due to reinforced chain links
System E4 "Heavy Duty"
System E2/000 e.g.: System E2/000 – smaller e-chains® for smaller installation spaces
