Zig-zag | liftband | Application

We recommend pivoting
mounting brackets for zig-
zag applications

Zig-zag application: de-commissioning of a nuclear power station. About 14 m high steel
containers are milled into small swarf for disposal

Zig-zag design
The modular design of igus ® e-chains ® facilitates this space-saving and unconventional solution.
For modern platform technology, such as theatre stages, a variety of cables and hoses which
adjust the stage height must be accommodated. Lack of space almost invariably presents
diffi culties. The picture shows an e-chain ® in a zig-zag confi guration. The unextended e-chain ®
is stored in a basket. If the platform is raised, the e-chain ® unfolds, generating little or no noise.
This construction is possible with the e-chains ® of the E4.1 system as well as many other types. Space-saving installation -
Please consult igus ® for these kinds of applications. travel heights of more than

Special solution for vertical motion:
liftband - guide up to a height of 13m
with limited installation space
● For high vertical applications that have plenty of
space horizontally but allow only for little system
height ● Modular, silent, space-saving; vertical
guidance for energy, data and media ● Max.
extension length: 13m ● Available in 2 sizes ●
Alternative to zig-zag solution, but lighter and
smaller installation space ● Vertical applications
implemented with ease
