e-chains® and e-chain systems® are the umbilical cord of modern machines. They ensure the supply of energy, data and signals while in constant motion. igus® has been developing, producing and testing plastic energy chains since 1971. The expertise we have accumulated over the years is being continuously refined with the help of our customers and is directly incorporated in our serial production.
Configure complete energy supply systems for short or long travels as well as for hanging applications. Simply select required cables to generate interior separation for your application, enter the specific and ambient parameters of your application, and the energy supply expert tool will propose suitable solutions for your energy supply system.
Avoidance of static charges during the manufacturing process for electronic assemblies.
Hygienic design principles – with absolutely no friction – no material rubbing against material.
Quiet, low-abrasion, vibration-free energy chains.
Long travels
and extremely high traversing speed with rol e-chains®.
Specifically for robot applications.
All energy chains for special applications.
Design energy chains faster and easier. With file formats for a wide variety of systems.
Today, millions of igus® e-chains® are in use in customer applications around the world – from beverage dispensers to steelworks. They have a modular design and are therefore easy to assemble. Not only resistant to various media and designed for very small bend radii, e-chains® are ideal for confined installation spaces as well as large, heavy and rigid cables and hoses.
Our ready-to-connect harnessed energy chains reduce the number of purchasing options, parts list items, number of contact persons and the amount of installation effort to the absolute minimum. This avoids unnecessary storage space and waste of resources. They create optimal interfaces and increase your competitive advantage. They optimise your supply chain for energy chains, cables, connectors, hoses, hydraulics, pneumatics, steel parts, sensors, PLC, bearings, linear guides and other machine components.
Energy chains from igus® can be adapted to individual requirements and can therefore be used for a large number of different applications.
