Load diagram use unsupported - short travels

These values are essential for: Finding a suitable e-chain® for your fill weight and travel distance. Identifying the max. load for the selected e-chain®. If you cannot meet your application demands using these parameters, keep in mind these specifications are conservative maximum values.

In individual cases, they can be exceeded by up to 30%. Special solutions are also possible.

The maximum travel - always amounts to 2 x 2 x FLG or FLB if the fixed end is in the center of the travel. In this case the following applies:

  • e-chain® length: Lk = S/2 + K
    • S = travel
    • R = bending radius
    • H = nominal installation height
    • HF = required installation height
      • K = R * π + (2 * T)
        (please find K from the dimension sheets of the individual igus® series)
