E-Chain, Low Profile

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Space-saving, strong and easy to assemble – these are the requirements for many machine components. This is true everywhere from general mechanical engineering to medical technology. To meet these requirements, igus offers the low profile E2.10 e-chain with an inner height of 10 mm and the smallest bend radii especially for very small installation spaces.

The links of the series consist of only two parts: the bottom/side part and a crossbar. They have a quiet operation, a cable-friendly design and are easy to assemble, thanks to the chain opener.

In confined spaces on machines, a safe energy supply with highly dynamic travel of the cables is especially important. To ensure this, the motion plastics specialist igus introduces low profile e-chains in its product range. The E2.10 e-chain from the E2.1 series has an inner height of only 10 mm and an outer height of 15 mm.

Therefore its use is ideal for the smallest spaces. The chain links consist of, like all links of the E2.1 family, only one bottom/side part and one crossbar. This can be opened from the top and from the side easily with a screw driver. With each first order, a simple e-chain opener tool for opening the chain quickly is also included.

Thus, the chain can be opened within a few seconds and, after fitting the cables, easily closed again by hand. The E2.1 series has a robust stop-dog for up to 25 per cent more unsupported length, 100 per cent higher fill weights and at the same time 10 percent less weight than identical igus e-chain types.

The "brake" on the stop-dog of the links provides very quiet chain running. This means they are great in automatic doors, vehicles or in medical furniture, for example.

It is used in Door drives, Mobile operating table, Adjustable speaker’s,desk, Spray-painting robot, PLC laboratory trainer, Robot elephant, Hard drive enclosure, Excavator model.
