Energy chains - Import export

Safely guide many different cables in a confined space with e-spool. e-spool uniquely combines two different energy supply systems: one standard energy chain is guided by a roller, providing the correct length and tension of the energy supply system through an integrated spring. In the home position, the energy 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. - According to DIN EN 17206 and DGUV principle 315-390 - No tensile strain on the cables - Energy supply is possible in all directions (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) - Space-saving, no "chain station", as the energy chain is rolled up in the starting position, ensuring the paths remain clear - Cables can be retrospectively added or changed - Maximum extension and retraction speed 1m/s

Strain relief from igus® is specifically developed for use in e-chains® and dynamic applications. Thecombination of polymer strain relief components and chainflex® cable materials offers maximum holding force and very high service life for the cables. For a wide variety of applications, igus® offers the best solution with respect to cost and benefits; from the CFXL strain relief for long travels in harsh environments, or the new CFU honeycomb strain relief for fast assembly to the CFN chainfix nuggets for simple and inexpensive strain relief. igus® chainfix strain relief components have been successfully used in thousands of applications around the world for years.

FTA Floating moving end Compensate parallel errors The igus® compensator for gliding applications with E2/000 and small E4.1 energy chains. At moving arms with strong lateral offset the floating moving end provides for a compensation and therefore for a force-free run of the energy chain in the guide trough. This extends the life time of your application. -Small, light and low priced -Compatible with PPDS basic analysis units -The basic ”floating moving end“ can be used with the following chain series: 2500, 2700, 3500, E4.28, E4.32 and E4.42 Max. travel distance:100m Max. acceleration: up zo 50m = 2 m/s 2 | 50-100m = 1 m/s 2

Upper run guide for long travels, unsupported in swarf areas Especially in machine tools on long travels, when the energy chain has to be used in a sliding manner, metallic swarf is a problem. guidelok is the cost-effective solution for travels, unsupported up to 50m. The guidelok horizontal is more cost-effective than many steel chains or complex sliding systems. Typical industries and applications: Machine tools, applications in swarf area, anywhere where gliding application is not recommended

readycable® harnessed cables are ready-to-connect cables for use in energy chains®. As manufacturer and harnesser, igus® provides everything from a single source, thus reducing throughput times and the number of suppliers. The portfolio includes an extensive range of catalogue products, including cables harnessed according to manufacturers' standards and diverse industrial standards as well as individual singly or series produced components. Numerous types of cable of different qualities, with different approvals and with different certifications of conformity are available to choose from. All components are subjected to extensive quality checks and functional tests.

chainflex® robot cables are used in energy chains or 3D applications. The twistable robot cables meet extremely high industrial stress requirements and score points with properties such as resistance to hydrolysis and microbes, UV resistance and many, many others. Different types of robot cable are available, e.g. hybrid cables, fibre optic cables (FOCs), motor cables and servo cables. Typical application areas: - For heavy duty applications - Almost unlimited resistance to oil - Indoor and outdoor applications with average solar radiation - Unsupported travel distances and up to 100 m for gliding applications - Machining centres / machine tools, storage and retrieval systems, packaging industry, handling, refrigerating

The T3 system combines smooth operation, low noise, simple assembly, and economy. The side bands, which snap together, replace a conventional pin and bore connection and prevent relative movements between the joints giving extremely low wear. This means virtually no wear or abrasion (cleanroom). The t-band's geometry means that hardly any polygon effect is generated when the energy chain is placed. The t-band therefore rolls in a very smooth arc, giving extremely low vibration and noise. In order to reduce the manufacturing and installation costs, the t-band is not mounted individually, but – much like the E3 system – in an eight-link length. Due to its low mass, the t-band is suitable for applications with low fill weights and short strokes combined with high speeds and accelerations.

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) are a type of fatty substance composed of medium-chain fatty acids. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats, and medium-chain fatty acids have relatively shorter carbon chains, typically consisting of 6 to 12 carbon atoms. In contrast to long-chain fatty acids (which typically contain 14 or more carbon atoms), the metabolism of MCTs differs within the human body. They are more easily absorbed by the intestines and can be directly transported to the liver for energy metabolism.
