Application examples
From the shipbuilding and offshore sectorShipyard
Eight gantry cranes connected in series travel a total length of 180 m with plastic energy chains.
Boat cranes
In contrast to metal and bronze bearings, the igus® bearings do not corrode due to their high-performance polymer structure and are for this reason the ideal choice for underwater application.
Mooring system for sail and motor yachts
High load capacity and durable
Marine lift for water vehicles for leisure purposes
Corrosion-proof in sea water
Underwater boring machine
Series CF27.D servo cables in underwater applications.
Ship loader
Since the ship loader started operations in 2000, no troubles, either mechanical or in the cables, have occurred in the energy chain area.
3D flow distributor
Ball bearing assemblies are very precarious due to the lubricant particularly under water. Stainless steel guidances cannot be considered due to the high costs. Plastic is used also for hygienic reasons.
Boat motor
lifting device
Boat motor lifting device and inner boom roll-up device equipped with plastic plain bearings.
Rust-free roller chain
The maintenance-free polymer bearings are used in rust-proof roller chains, which are employed to drive main and auxiliary equipment.
Ship fittings
Now freedom from corrosion is an important argument for the application of iglidur® G plain bearings in ship fittings.
Solar energy on a sailing boat
For protection against outdoor influences the connection cables of the solar cell were mounted in an E2 micro energy chain.

Additional information
* Guaranteed for 36 months or 10 million double strokes (up to 5 million double strokes for cables in the chainflex® M line). Whichever comes first. The number of double strokes depends on the type of installation and cable quality. This is described in the current catalogue, in the data sheets and in the service life calculator at www.igus.de/chainflexlife.
