Features and benefits

In order to safely and reliably guide cables in hanging applications, igus developed the e-loop as an alternative to the service loop - ideal for three-dimensional applications.

The e-loop combines the advantages of a plastic energy chain with those of a high-strength pull rope. Inside the chain, the pull rope transfers the pull forces to the mounting brackets and the structure. As a result, the cables are kept completely relieved of strain.

The modular e-chain made of high-performance plastic always enables a defined bend radius and can handle vibration and impacts

Modular system, easy to open
No lost parts due to optional screw lock
Maximum cable/hose outer diameter up to 76mm or 500mm bend radius
Protects against impact due to robust PU outer body
Offers operational reliability due to secondary locking tension of all bolted connections
Resistant to dirt
An optional "drop safe" version is also available, with additional screw locking - as well as a stainless steel bracket option
Weather-resistant
Easy maintenance
Mounting brackets for easy and fast installation
All components are individually replaceable
Cable-friendly two-chamber interior separation system

The most fascinating projects with e-loop

Full functionality in spite of a snowstorm - top drive

For a Canadian oil drilling company, an e-loop energy chain solution from igus guarantees that the top drive, which lowers the drill pipe into the earth and pulls it out again, is always safely and reliably supplied with energy and signals even after heavy storms.

Bucket wheel excavator

The e-loop is used in a bucket wheel excavator made by Holcim (Germany) GmbH. The modular system made of high-performance plastic always enables a defined bend radius and can handle vibration and impacts. Instead of the planned eight hours of installation time, work with the e-loop was completed after just four hours.

Top Drive System

The e-loop modular energy chain system is being used in a drilling rig in the oil and gas industry. The igus e-loop has made it possible to improve the service life of the drilling rig and considerably reduce costs. In addition, the cables in the mast can no longer become tangled.
