Moving energy made easy - through innovation and sustainability. Tech up, cost down. It's our job.
Our mission is the constant development of innovations in e-chains and cables. This enables you to save costs and further increase the quality of machines and systems at the same time, i.e. "Tech up. Cost down" This year, we would also like to introduce innovative energy supply systems - from energy chains made of 100% recycled material and energy chains for extremely long travels, extremely dynamic and high run times up to complete solutions iSet - sophisticated engineering made easy. Complete sets in just 3 clicks!
Top highlights 2022
cradle-chain E2.1.CG
The first energy chain made from 100% recycled material. Based on the igus chainge program, the new E2.1.CG e-chain was created from 100% recycled material - all tested in the igus laboratory.
DESIGN STUDY: Driven energy chain system for extremely long travels, extremely dynamic and high run times. The drive-chain is used, e.g., in ASC cranes.
DESIGN STUDY: e-tract is a cable retraction system for clean cable management at the charging station. Automatic retraction. A slip ring is dispensed with completely.
Abrasion-resistance is the decisive parameter for energy chain applications in cleanrooms. The C6 energy chain sets the standard. The abrasion is barely measurable. This is the best outcome: no abrasion can be measured when the new C6 cleanroom energy chain is used, even under high loads.
The e-skin flat is a freely fillable compact designed cable guidance system. Interconnectable profiles through the modular design allow the chains to be shortened as required. Individual cables can be replaced very quickly without having to change the entire energy supply. New UL style for complete systems from our company. Certified standard with CFCLEAN and PU hoses available as readychain.
By equipping the new additional components - spacer and ultrasonic sensor - the e-skin® flat with support chain can be implemented for more unsupported lengths, more compact installation and smarter monitoring.
Easy changeover from sliding to rolling energy chain
Easy conversion from gliding to rolling energy chain, one radius for all series, no adapter chain link required, ideal for long travels. Retrofit, extend the service life of the energy chain, reduce the variety of bearing parts and reduce drive power to move the e-chain.
Maximum service life for the latest crane generation
The new heavy-duty rol e-chain® meets all the relevant requirements for container cranes of the next and future generations. Longer paths, higher dynamics, short load cycles, zero failures.
The E4.1 system for long travels, gliding and rolling
The E4.1 modular range has now been expanded with new rol e-chain links and glide pads. These components allow for a technologically and economically customised energy supply system for every application from travels of 12m to 500m.
E4.1 for high stability and long service life
E4.1 with rollers for highest speeds
E4.1 with glide pads for extremely abrasive environments
Now you can save time and money with our complete energy chain set. No need to spend lots of time looking for the right energy chain series and relevant accessories. We can assemble the complete energy chain set.
The AG5.Rail slide profile for the autoglide 5 replaces the non-moving chain links between the fixed end and the centre of travel. The AG5.RAIL's larger pitch, slim design and convenient plug-in connectors you save on purchasing as well as transport/handling and installation.
Clever, modular extender crossbar system for large diameters
Modular extender crossbar concept with E4Q opening mechanism: adapt energy chain individually to hose diameter. Install easily without tools and replace hoses as needed. Save assembly time: simple, fast and tool-free assembly. If a repair is required, the hose is quickly replaced by opening the crossbar on the extender crossbar.
Complete flexibility, reliability and ease of assembly in one
The new E4Q e-chains can be opened quickly and without tools. After the crossbar has been released, the shelf can be unlocked by means of the slider and then simply pulled out.
In two new sizes and variants: energy chain with 112mm and energy tube with 108mm inner height. For maximum stability with high filling weight, ideal for construction machinery and lifting platforms. There are no screws, rivets or bolts that can become loose under vibration.
The alternative to the service loop ... simple filling
The new e-loop specifically for top drive applications is a four-piece design. Easy filling through a lateral opening. Easy maintenance and long service life. Shock-resistant and shatter-proof.
Accessories: Brush attachment for cleaning the cable before rolling it up and guide roller for pull-out "around the corner". e-spool flex mini 2.0 for uninterrupted guidance of cables in the tightest of spaces. Double the extension length of the e-spool flex mini 2.0 compared to the competitor's product.
According to DIN EN 17206 and DGUV principle 315-390
The e-spool is the alternative cable drum without slip ring. It can be used to safely guide cables in the tightest of spaces. The e-spool now comes certified for stage and theatre drive according to DIN EN 17206 and DGUV principle 315-390 and with various sensor monitoring systems.
Zig-zag for shaft end supports. Complete systems up to 15m
Standardised, modular energy supply as a complete system with e-chain, mounting brackets, interior separation, guide box, support plate and preparation for individual strain relief. Weight reduced by 30% and price reduced by 20%.
Compact and cost-effective guidance systems in minimal installation spaces. Safe guidance of the energy chain in high dynamics. Secure data transmission via cable instead of expensive optical data transmission.
Energy supply for slewing cranes up to 10 metres travels
Until now, hanging cables on slewing cranes have often posed a high risk. They could get tangled and tear off. guidelok GLO.S is compactly mounted on the crane girder and increases safety during operation.
The latest products and product enhancements from the field of robotics. Example: space-saving installation with a retraction length of up to 36% with the telescopic triflex® R TRX and more.
You can get interactive 3D models of the energy chain systems, which provide an effective representation and convincing insights into the interior of products.
