Energy Chain News

C6 cleanroom energy chain with special e-spin guide system. Innovative cleanroom solution for travels of up to 30 metres. Innovative cleanroom solution with special guidance, so that hardly any particles are produced even over long distances.

Overhead charging cable management for DC and MCS charging points. Space-saving, safe and easy to use. Low maintenance costs - no cable theft and less wear and tear on the cable

The guidelok slimline mini is an ultra-compact guide trough system for vertically travelling energy chains in confined installation spaces. Minimised number of parts, cost-effective design, low maintenance

Easy to upgrade: YE chains now swarf-resistant with aluminium lids

The YE series can now also be fitted with aluminium lids. Widths start from 100mm inner width and can be adjusted in one millimetre increments. The aluminium lids ensure a very tight overlap and prevent the ingress of particles.

Constant tethering height and smooth running

With the e-spin, we are expanding the E4Q family with a quiet and safe guide for long travels of up to approx. 30m - without a guide trough. Smooth, safe running over any travel length. Standardised connection height for all axis lengths reduces versions, design effort and assembly time.

Optimum hose guidance

To extend the inner height and for guiding oversized hoses. The extender crossbar clip can also be retrofitted to existing applications if required.

Simple and cost-effective quiet operation

For sound reduction in unsupported applications. The damper clip can also be retrofitted to existing applications.

Modularity for small spaces

Various multipods of the e-skin flat can save up to 17% of installation space. SKF12C size multipods of 2 to 6 allow a saving of 17% in the installation space depth of the mounting brackets. With the new sizes, the proven igus quality can be utilised in existing applications. In combination with the Single Pod modular system, all accessories, such as the support chains, can also be used.

More stability, easier to assemble

The new support chain with a radius of 55mm has been added to the radius portfolio. As it uses "bolted joints" or "pinned joints", it can meet increasingly challenging application conditions and is easier to assemble. The e-skin® flat with support chain is also simpler to extend and shorten. The support chain is guided in the e-skin flat POD SKF12C and can be integrated into the existing structure of the mounting brackets.

Straight run guaranteed

The layer holder ensures straight guidance of several layers of e-skin® flat, even in the case of very long unsupported lengths. In this way, the e-skin flat layers lie strongly on top of each other and can utilise the unsupported specifications of the support chains, even if these are not present in every layer. The layer holder has no influence on the cleanroom class and is available immediately.

Cleanroom classes, small installation space and ESD protection

The tried-and-tested e-skin soft is now available in sizes 20, 24, 28.068 and 40 in dissipative material. This prevents the formation of electrostatic fields and the abrupt discharge caused by the movement of the black e-skin soft due to the material. The e-skin soft ESD is suitable for the highest cleanroom classes and requires very little installation space. It has a self-supporting function and a closed design.

The slip ring-free cable feed system

The e-spool shore power is a motorised cable drum for unwinding 1-4 cables that are suitable for use in high or low voltage shore power connections. Direct, uninterrupted cable guide from the switch cabinet to the connector. Insensitive to seawater, cold, heat and vibration.

High speed over long distances

Guide trough for side-mounted gliding energy chains on travels of up to 100 metres. Thanks to the design of the guide channels, speeds of up to 10m/s and running performances of over 200,000km are possible. Further advantages are the flat design, the simple assembly and the smooth running of the system.

Convenient cable retraction in confined spaces

The e-tract mini is a small, linear retraction module with stepless cable locking. Compact type, defined bend radius and economical construction with standard parts.

Overhead charging cable management for AC charging points

The e-tract AC horizontal is an electrically powered, ceiling-mounted or truss-mounted cable management system for AC charging points. It enables the charging cable to be extended and retracted automatically, thereby reducing the space required, the mechanical stress on the charging cable and the risks posed by charging cables lying around.

Move heavy loads safely and quickly in confined spaces

The tri-spool can run many different cables in a very small space. The system combines two different energy supply systems: A triflex R e-chain is guided by a roller and ensures that the energy supply system is always exactly the right length and tension thanks to an integrated retaining spring. In the home position, the e-chain is completely rolled up to save space. The twisterband connects the roller with the shaft end block, serving as an interface to the supply side cables.

Planning reliability for hanging energy chains. After entering a few application parameters, the Long Life Calculator now also gives you an indication of the expected service life of vertical hanging energy chains.

Cleanroom-compatible e-skin with service life guarantee. After entering a few application parameters, the Long Life Calculator now also provides you with a statement about the expected service life of the e-skin corrugated tubes.
