Energy chain on site installation service

Outdoor cranes

Energy chains for long port crane service life

igus® energy chain systems remain reliable for ten years or more in crane installations. We calculate the exact service life and grant 36 month guarantee.

Indoor cranes

Energy supply solutions for bridge cranes

For practical protection, stable and fault-free cable guidance is extremely necessary in the field of indoor crane systems. The energy supply system and the cables must be able to endure ever increasing loads as demands on travel lengths, speeds, accelerations and accuracy rise gradually.

Offshore

High-performance polymers for the offshore‑industry

In wind turbines, on drilling vessels or on oil rigs, igus® products ensure a reliable supply of energy, both on the cantilever and in highly dynamic pipe handling. Thanks to our engineering team and DNV GL and NEK-certified chainflex cables, we also offer ready-to-connect complete systems that are tailored to meet your needs.

Smart plastics

Solutions for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring

If you want to network the machines in your manufacturing plant completely with the internet of things (IoT) in order to be Industry 4.0 -capable and optimise such items as maintenance, predictive maintenance is just the thing for you.

Brickworks

Brickworks are extremely harsh environments, filled with abrasive dust particles, high temperatures and high loads. igus® energy chains protect the encapsulated cables whilst continuing to meet the high demands of the application. These chains endure severe conditions but thanks to their reinforced configuration this has no negative affect on the cables. This is the main reason that igus® is replacing more and more traditional energy chains with igus® chain systems.

Composting and recycling

With recycling plants, chemicals and bacteria can be rife. To cope with harsh chemicals in the wash downs, igus® energy chains are produced in high-tech polymers which are not affected by chemical wash downs or the bio-chemicals used within the compost cycle.

Water treatments

Sewage treatment plants

igus® offers cost-effective energy chains, cables and guide troughs specifically for sewage treatment, individually or as a ready-to-use complete system from stock. At igus®, you can find tailored solutions for small sewage plants up to a large wastewater treatment plant.  

Theatre and stages

Safe, quiet and invisible staging

igus® offers energy supply systems, highly flexible cables and polymer bearings that meet the extact requirments for theatre and construction. As igus® provides modular systems and a wide range of components, it is possible to implement customised applications quickly and easily.

Retrofits

As with all igus® products, being able to retrofit an energy chain onto a machine that is not original is vital. Retrofitting is a key solution in what igus®' offer. Thanks to the large range of chains systems, varying widths and materials, igus® can retrofit chain systems on various machines.

Long travels with energy supply systems

The igus® Project Engineering Team will assist you with the sizing, design, project management, installation and commissioning on site. For the intelligent monitoring of the state of your system, igus isense sensors and monitoring modules can be used to measure the abrasion of the energy chain, push/pull forces and accelerations as well as to perform real-time monitoring.

Shore power supply

energy supply systems for shore power supply in ports

Every port is unique. Different tides, terminal design and port equipment vary from port to port, terminal to terminal and vessel to vessel. igus® has been developing and manufacturing customised cable management systems for the maritime industry for many years. Around the world, our team provides consultancy services and assistance with planning, installation, inspection and a spare parts service.
