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.

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.

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.
