Gliding | Long travels

Advantages for long travel applications
with igus e-chains ®
®
● Travels over 1,000m We recommend pivoting
● 6m/s speed (up to 10m/s possible after mounting brackets for
consultation with igus ® ) gliding applications
● Fill weights up to 70kg/m
● Service life of 10 years and more with igus ®
e-chain systems ®
● More than 20 years of continuous improvement
of the igus ® rol e-chains ® for long travels and
reduced drive force

Further advantages compared to
alternative technologies
● Many diff erent types of cables and hoses can
operate together in the same system (i.e. electrical, E4 e-chain ® with extension links for many
data, fibre optic cables with hydraulic and cables and large hoses on a long travel
pneumatic hoses) ● Space-saving installation ● application
Quiet operation ● High accelerations ● Durable
in wind, weather, dirt and chemicals ● Simple assembly of the modular system on the spot ●
Rapid assembly and replacement of cables and hoses
