AUTO-GLIDE - special solutions for long travels without trough guides

Long travels always make special demands on an E-ChainSystem®. From a certain point, the upper run needs the potential to glide on the lower run or on glide bars. Moreover the E-ChainSystem® requires guides to prevent a lateral offset. In most cases this is ensured by a guide trough. There are also applications in which a guide trough is not required due to optical or spatial conditions. In order to cover this gap, igus® developed the AUTO-GLIDE system in 1995. AUTO-GLIDE are self-aligning E-Chains®, which can dispense with guide troughs up to 50 m travel. You save purchase and installation costs and can keep tracks in the hall free for forklifts or industrial trucks.
