e-chain® flexible plastic cable carriers
igus® e-chains®, also known as cable carriers, energy chains, drag chains or cat tracks, are machine elements designed to safely guide and protect flexible cables and hoses. We manufacture e-chains® for linear motion, multi-axis movements, rotary movements, and special solutions for industries including stage and theater, offshore and cleanrooms. You can configure a cable management system along with cables and accessories using the e-chain® online tool, or discover the expected lifespan using the e-chain® service life calculator. Alternatively, you can contact us here for an individual consultation.
Unsure of which series e-chain® you need to replace? Refer to this infographic which breaks down each section of a complete e-chain part # and what exactly it means.
