Plastic Energy Chains Reduce Downtime & Increase Service Life of Cables
e-chain® systems are referred to as the lifeline of modern machinery. These durable cable carriers ensure safe supply of energy and data while under constant motion. igus® has been developing and testing plastic energy chains since 1971, gaining the expertise to continuously refine the systems and directly benefit users.
e-chain® System Configurator
The system configurator for e-chains® allows you to build the exact model for your needs. Select chainflex® cables to be used in the e-chain®, specific dimensions, types of movement, environment, interior separation and strain relief to create the ideal system. A parts lists and option to send the final product right to your cart is also available.
