It is a great challenge for operators of sewage plants, waste incineration plants, cranes, power plants or mines to guide data, energy and hydraulics safely on long travels. High speeds combined with a high fill weight often pose problems for energy supply systems such as motor cable drums, busbars or festoonings.
Energy chain systems by igus can be moved without problems on travels of up to 1,000 metres and more at a speed of 10m/s and with 50kg/m fill weight. As guide of highly flexible chainflex cables and hoses, energy chains can be guided smoothly and with low friction in long travels through guide troughs and enclosures. Both in- and outdoors, they energy chain systems by igus have been successfully used for more than 20 years in over 30,000 gliding long travels.
The igus Project Engineering Team will assist you with the sizing, design, project management, installation and commissioning on site. For the intelligent monitoring of the state of your system, igus isense sensors and monitoring modules can be used to measure the abrasion of the energy chain, push/pull forces and accelerations as well as to perform real-time monitoring.
Things you should pay attention to when installing a gliding application. In this assembly manual, we will show you how to correctly install a long-travel energy supply system yourself and optimise service life.
Driven energy chain system for extremely long travels, extremely dynamic and high run times. The drive-chain is used, for e.g., in ASC cranes.
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.
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.
The longest plastic energy chain in the world with 615m travel from igus has been in operation without failure for ten years.
Profile roller chains of the series P4 are characterised by high speed, smooth operation and safe energy supply, and are used in gantry loaders.
Energy chain system despite enormous fill weight of more than 100kg/m in a sludge treatment plant.
With igus rol e-chains the required drive cable is reduced by 57%. The roller energy supply withstands the high acceleration and speed on a permanent basis.
Energy chains are especially quiet and abrasion-resistant at high speeds and with large fill weights.
Extreme dirt and dust exposure do not affect the energy chain systems. For several years now, they have reliably supplied conveyor units and stockpiling equipment with energy, data and media.
Energy systems by igus for long travels work reliably at high temperatures in steel works.
Energy chain and plastic trough made from chemically-resistant plastic withstand exposure to hydrochloric acid and have been in operation at a hot dip galvanising plant for years.

No slip ring on long travels. Guide all media safely in one system. Travels up to 1,000m.
Guide data, energy, fluids and air fail-safe in one energy chain system. For narrow compact spaces and fast movement in lanes.
Guide cables and energy chains in a protected and safe way in wind and fluctuating temperatures. That way, downtimes can be reduced.
From the first sketch to installation and on-site commissioning. We use igus low-maintenance e-chains, fail-safe chainflex cables and standardised modules that are quickly adapted to your application to convert an existing plant.
We will take care of the installation. Clearly calculable assembly costs and at request a service contract for the entire energy supply by igus.

The rise of the 5050R series e-chain® was tested in a travel of 200 m and a load of 7.5 kg/m.
Result: The energy chain of the 5050R series only rises when the thrust exceeds
8,000 N.
igus® solution: Guide troughs with rise guard keep the energy supply system safely in the trough.
Issue: Does the wind speed of 55 mph affect the functionality of the 4040CR series e-chain®?
Result: At the wind speed of 55 mph, only the guide trough was bent elastically.
igus® solution: High-strength "HD bottom clamp" prevents elastic deformation of the guide trough under wind load
