Energy chains for circular and spiral movements

Energy chains are the most modular way of safely transferring energy, data, fluids and air. Whether horizontally, vertically along all axes or in a circle. igus energy chains fulfil this requirement 100 per cent. Various systems for rotary and spiral movements can be selected, and properties such as modularity, versatility and a high degree of stability ensure dependability.

Alternatives to the slip ring:
As our energy chain systems are equipped without slip rings, media such as air, oil or water can easily be transferred without any interruption.

Fewer interfaces with static rotary modules

These rotary modules consist of a static guide trough. The fixed end of the e-chain® is attached to the guide trough and the moving end to the rotating part of the system. The e-chains® of the E4.1 series are used for the rotary modules. The static rotary modules are ideal for simple attachment in confined spaces.

Maximum rotation angle 400° (depending on the system)

Rotation speed up to 180°/s

Modular construction with standardised mounting options

Integrated strain relief and cable guidance in the guide trough

Typical application areas:
General machine and plant construction, production systems/material handling, industrial robots, medical technology, wind turbines, amusement rides, satellite telescopes
