standing applications
Mounting brackets
The mounting brackets must be attached so
that the e-chain ® cannot bow outwards. The
igus ® product range off ers locking or one-sided,
locking mounting brackets for almost all types
of e-chains ® . Locking KMA mounting brackets
are highly recommended because they can be
attached fl ush to the machine.
Cables and hoses
Locking igus ® KMA mounting brackets Cables and hoses must be laid in the e-chain ®
with fl ush mounting so that they can bend freely and bear their own
weight. For precise guidance of the cables and
hoses, we strongly recommend igus ® interior
separation elements. Cables must have strain
relief at both ends.

Lateral acceleration
If lateral acceleration occurs, the e-chain ®
should, in most cases, be supported along the
outer radius. For higher e-chain ® heights, it is
Options for a standing generally recommended that at least the fi rst
application with support of three links on the outer radius be supported.
the fi rst e-chain ® links: on For maximum heights and weights, the whole
the right, with U-shaped distance must often be supported. Due to the
guidance - on the left, with wide variety of combinations involving fi ll weights,
the support of the first stroke heights, e-chain ® types and bend radii,
e-chain ® links we strongly recommend you make use of our
U-shaped supported igus ® e-tube for high consulting services.

Combined motion
Combined vertical and horizontal movements are
possible with igus ® e-chains ® for a cost-saving
solution.
