e-chains® - Series E2.1

e-chains of the E2.1 series are characterised by a long service life, very quiet operation and easy filling and assembly. The e-chains meet themselves to the requirements of the machine, not the other way round: You can choose the best energy chain or energy tube for safe and reliable cable guidance from over 850 different variants - also as a system consisting of chain, cables and connectors.

Discover the advantages of the E2.1 series with digital 3D samples

Tech up

20% to 30% larger sliding surfaces for longer service life in gliding operation compared to previous series E2/000
7dB(A) quieter due to integrated brake starting at size E2.26
Now also available as fully enclosed version, a standard solution for hydraulic hoses
10% more stability compared to previous series E2/000
Good accessibility - crossbars can be snapped open on both sides, from above and the side on the inner or outer radius

Cost down

Approx. 30% more cost-effective when the new closed design E2C.21 is used compared to previous series E2/000
Longer service life due to gliding surfaces for gliding applications
Simplified installation of the interior separation system thanks to integrated grid
Cable-friendly due to smooth interior
Extremely small bend radii from 28mm so that less installation space is needed
36-month guarantee
Predictive maintenance – optional additional isense module

Proof

Tested in the igus laboratory: 1m e-chain opened in 2 seconds with the help of the optional e-chain opening tool

Sustainability

Same size and connection size as previous model allows for a 1:1 upgrade. No change in the machine design required

E2.48 e-chain® as a cable guidance in an innovative bicycle garage

Would you simply park an expensive e-bike in the city? Many owners find this too tricky. For them, the French company Seraap is building a new type of garage that can store many bikes on a shelf next to and on top of each other in a relatively small area. The energy and data cables of the operating device are also safe in e-chains® of the E2.48 series (E2.48.100.200).
