e-tract cable retraction system

E-mobility made simple. For tidiness at the charging station.

e-tract is a solution for automatically rewinding a cable. This avoids hazards and cable damage caused by improper rewinding or cables lying in the way. The e-tract is used in applications where a mobile end device is connected to a cable and was previously only reeled up by hand. Thanks to multiple deflections, long extension lengths are possible in a small installation space. A slip ring is completely dispensed with.

Typical application areas:
Control panels, tools on assembly lines and work tables, power charging stations

NEW: e-tract 2.1

Significantly slimmer and more compact
The next evolutionary step for e-tract, the solution for automatically rewinding a cable - ideal for charging stations for electric cars. The new version is now even slimmer and more compact and offers a better ratio of extension to total cable length in the system. A wallbox (11 kW) is integrated into the system.

Tech up

Slimmer / More compact design
Full charging power, even with "rolled up" cable
Integrated, linear snap mechanism
Cable extension at a height of approx. 1.2 metres

Cost down

Less cable length required for the same extension length

Proof

Mechanical tests in a climate chamber down to -25°C and electrical tests with integrated charging electronics

Sustainability

Use of recycled or recyclable raw materials
Supports e-mobility
Have your energy chain or drag chain recycled at the end of its life cycle in the igus Chainge recycling programme. Regardless of the manufacturer, you will receive a voucher for this.

Technical improvements in the e-tract 2.1

Significantly less space required thanks to new technology. The new roller cages make the e-tract 2.1 approx. 25% smaller than its predecessor.

Reduction in the required cable length and installation space with the same extension length
Openable crossbars prevent the cable from jumping off or "tangling" and enable quick and easy insertion and replacement of the charging cable
Integrated wallbox (11kW)
