E4.1L - high dynamics, light and cost effective


All-rounder e-chains® and e-tubes for high dynamics. The E4.1L series was developed to combine the advantages of the E2/000 and E4.1 series in one series. On the one hand the stability of the E4.1 system and on the other the easy accessibility and assembly of the E2/000 system. The E4.1L system is the ideal energy chain for mechanical engineering and applications where there must be an optimum relationship between technical requirements and economic efficiency.
E4.1L New, very cable-friendly interior separation product range available.
E4.1L Pivoting and locking mounting brackets are available.
E4.1L KMA mounting brackets with all-round fixing option.

E4.1L e-chains® with 4-part structure

Low weight and high strength

Ideal ratio of inner and outer dimensions with thinner outer links and optimised crossbar geometry

30% lighter and lower-priced than E4.1

e-chains® and e-tubes openable along the inner and outer radius, from both sides

Very tightly fitting lids, virtually no gaps or openings

Openable along inner and outer radius

Inside completely accessible for easy filling

Typical industrial sectors and applications

Cost-effective alternative for E4.1

for unsupported applications

If the strength of the E2/000 is insufficient, but an E4.1 is too big
