Large Energy Chains

For high loads, unsupported travel and gliding applications

Cut-out assembly of an igus chain link with an open cable carrier segment.

E4Q

  • Internal heights: 34 to 82mm
  • 40% less assembly time: crossbar with locking clips for opening and closing without tools
  • 100% higher pull-out strength: positive-locking crossbar
  • 10% less weight thanks to material recesses for optimised weight and stability
  • 20% more fill weight
  • 17dB(A) quieter
e-chain with cable channels for moving applications.

E4.1

  • Inner height: 21 to 350 mm
  • Crossbars removable along the inner/outer radius
  • For especially demanding applications
  • Undercut design for high lateral stability
  • Double stop-dog system and large pin/bore connection for high level of force absorption
  • High push force on long travels and for large unsupported lengths
  • Noise-reducing brake and optional noise dampers
e-chain E4.1 cable carrier with smooth links and an additional bracket.

E4.1L - Reduce cost, time, and weight

  • Inner height: 31 to 64mm
  • Openable along inner and outer radius
  • Quiet operation due to integrated brakes
  • Undercut design for high lateral stability
  • Can be closely adapted to the application
  • 30% less weight and 80% faster installation than comparable series
  • Double stop-dog system and large pin/bore connection for high level of force absorption
Cable carrier from the e-ketten E4 Light series.

E4/light
