Energy Chains for Long Travel and Heavy Duty Purposes

• Internal height: 30 to 800mm
• For particularly demanding applications
• Removable crossbars on inner and outer radius
• Rear grip for optimum lateral stability
• High thrust on long travels and for long unsupported lengths
• Noise-damping "brakes" and noise dampers as an option
• Outer and inner link for quick assembly
• With or without pretension

• Internal height: 56 to 80mm
• Ideal for heavy-duty applications
• Best solution for unsupported, side-mounted, high load & long travel distances
• Removable crossbars on inner and outer radius
• For long travels up to 1,312 ft (without rollers)
• Works well in harsh temperatures, dirt or debris
• High torsional rigidity, stability, ESD available
• Roller links available for long travel up to 2,625 ft
• Snap-open along the inner and outer radius

• Internal heights: 32 to 80 mm
• Friction minimised, service life doubled
• Removable crossbars on inner and outer radius
• Longer service life thanks to maintenance-free tribopolymer plain bearings in the connection of the chain links
• Long travel distances up to 800 m and more
• High filling weight up to 30 kg/m
• Speeds up to >5 m/s
• Intelligent wear monitoring possible

• Inner height: 32 to 80mm
• Profile rollers e-chain® - save up to 57% energy
• Crossbars every link: crossbars removable along the inner and outer radius
• Long travel distances up to 800 m and more
• High filling weight up to 30 kg/m
• High speeds up to >10 m/s
• iF product design award 2007

• Inner height: 32 to 80mm
• Available in two versions; crossbars every link and fully enclosed design
• For particularly demanding applications
• 75% less drive power, rolling
• Speeds of up to 6m/s are possible
• Uniform rolling resistance for applications with dirt

• Self-guiding without guide troughs
• For travel distances of up to 80 m and speeds of up to 2.5 m/s
• Quick-filling, simply press cables into the carrier
• Very fast installation times for long travels
• Narrow installation width, quiet operation
• Safe, quiet, abrasion-resistant & energy efficient
• Special sliding guide elements
