Long-lasting energy chain systems

The robust all-rounder, easy to open. The stability of the E2.1 has been increased by a further 10 % compared to its proven predecessor series.

2 vertically and 2 horizontally arranged stop-dogs per chain link ensure greater rigidity in the E4Q, enabling longer unsupported lengths and higher additional loads. 20 % more stability compared to the E4.1.

The YE hybrid energy chain is the best mix of lightweight plastic and sturdy steel that can handle long unsupported distances with ease. Up to 88 % more stability for long unsupported lengths with compact dimensions.

Small adjustment with a big effect. By adapting the ball head in the chain link, it was possible to increase the radius stability of the B version by a factor of 4 compared to the TRE version. This of course also has a positive effect on the service life of the chain. All completely price-neutral.

energy chains are put through their paces. Both in linear movements of different lengths with travel distances of up to 240 metres and in vertical, circular or torsional movements. 53 test systems, on which up to 295 tests run in parallel, are used to test the resilience of e-chain®. This results in 4,100 tests with 10 billion cycles per year.

Our energy chains are already reliably used in hundreds of thousands of applications worldwide - from beverage vending machines to steel mills. Over 400,000 customers worldwide from 50 industries rely on igus® energy chains.
