Long travel, gliding
Side-mounted e-chains ® can travel over 100m with adequate guidance. All e-chain ® types are
designed to operate gliding on their side. The corresponding glide surface is usually an igus ®
polymer, stainless steel (1.4301 material) or galvanised steel, depending on how high the demands
on the travel speed and service life are. Roller and ball bearings or additional gliding elements
are not necessary for igus ® e-chains ® .

Cables and hoses
Cables and hoses must be guided so that the e-chain system ® can move freely at all times. The
igus ® modular separation options off ers numerous possibilities, such as vertical separators and
spacers. igus ® will gladly provide an application analysis, free of charge.
