energy chains for long travels & heavy duty purposes
Rolling instead of gliding
Travelling 800m or more is no problem for this group of e-chains®. As a rol e-chain® that reduces the amount of drive power and designed for really long distances or as a heavy duty version for applications where things get exceedingly rough. The P4/P4.1 system is additionally characterized by its very smooth running.
Products
E4.1
A series for virtually every application
- Inner height: 30 to 800mm
- Crossbars removable along the inner and outer radius
- For especially demanding applications
- Undercut design for the best possible lateral stability
- High push force on long travels and for large unsupported lengths
- Noise-reducing "brakes" and optional noise dampers
- Outer and inner side links for quick assembly
- With or without pretension
E4/4HD
High fill weight with long travels
- Inner height: 56 to 80mm
- Crossbars every link: crossbars removable along the inner and outer radius
- High stability
- For especially demanding applications
- Ideal for heavy duty applications
P4.1
Friction kept to a minimum, twice the service life
- Inner height: 32 to 80mm
- Crossbars every link: crossbars removable along the inner and outer radius
- Longer service life due to maintenance-free tribo-polymer plain bearings in conjunction with the chain links
- Long travels of up to 800m and more
- High fill weight of up to 30kg/m
- Speeds of up to >5m/s
- Smart wear monitoring possible
P4
Profile rol e-chain® – reduce energy consumption by up to 57%
- Inner height: 32 to 80mm
- Crossbars every link: crossbars removable along the inner and outer radius
- Long travels of up to 800m and more
- High fill weight of up to 30kg/m
- High speeds of up to >10m/s
- iF Product Design Award 2007
rol e-chain®
Rolling instead of gliding
- Inner height: 32 to 80mm
- Available in two versions:
- Crossbars every link
- Fully enclosed design
- For especially demanding applications
- 75% less drive power, rolling
- Speeds up to 6m/s possible
- Uniform roller resistance in dirty environments
autoglide
Self-guiding e-chains® without guide troughs
- Available in four versions:
- For the E4.1 system
- For the E2/000 system
- Quick filling – simply press cables in
- Special guiding elements
- Safe, quiet, abrasion-resistant and energy efficient
- With travels of up to 80m and speeds of up to 2.5m/s
Guidelok horizontal systems
Upper run guide for long, self-supporting horizontal travels in chip areas
- Open guide trough design means chips do not get stuck between upper and lower runs, but fall through
- Modular system with few parts
- Enormous increase in the length of self-supporting travel possible
- Lower push-/pull forces (smaller energy chains that are self supporting and use rollers result in greater energy efficiency)
- Lower cost than most steel chains
Guidelok slimline vertical systems
Plastic guide troughs for vertical applications are less expensive, lighter and easier to install.
- Significant savings in costs and weight when compared with a complete housing
- Now for especially narrow aisles as well
- This also means low transport costs
- Fast, safe and easy assembly with clip-on guide rails
- Reduced noise
- Easy access for servicing
- Energy, data and media are guided in one system safely and without interruption
Magsnap
For long travel applications utilizing magnetic opening crossbars to hold the e-chain® in the specified direction and "fix" it to a metal surface of your system.
- Holds the e-chain® securely in position for vertical, horizontal or even circular applications
- Fast and easy assembly
- Equipped with damping elements to reduce noise
- Easy to retrofit
FTA Floating moving end
Moving arms with strong lateral offset the floating moving end, provides a force-free run of the energy chain in the guide trough.
- Small, light and low priced
- Compatible with PPDS basic analysis units
- The basic ”floating moving end“ can be used with the following chain series: 2500, 2700, 3500, E4-28, E4-32 and E4-42
