Energy chains wiki

Simply filter by type of movement in the energy chain online shop and narrow down the results based on the dimensions.

With the "e-chain expert" energy chain configurator, you can put together your customised, ready-to-connect energy chain system in just a few steps.

Simply use our service life calculator to calculate the expected service life of the energy chain.

By using our i.Sense sensors, you can obtain a well-founded status report on your energy supply at any time in real time.

With roller energy chains, travels of 1,200 metres and more are possible.

The standard temperature range for plastic energy chains is generally -40°C to +130°C, and short-term +170°C.

Our cable chains have been specially developed for offices and furniture. For example, igus offers the ZF14 or OCR cable chain for organised cable guidance at the desk. Fastening options: magnetic, screwed and glued.

A detailed list of chemical-resistant energy chains provides information on the resistance of the igus materials igumid G, TE and NB to many chemical substances.

Depending on the application, pivoting or locking mounting brackets are recommended. Pivoting connecting elements are movable in the connection to the first chain link, i.e. a radius can also be moved here. A locking connecting element is fixed in the connection to the first chain link, i.e. this connection does not allow any movement.

Yes, plastic energy chains with the material igumid HT are resistant to hot swarf up to +850°C.

Yes, with the system autoglide you can realise travels of up to 80m without a guide trough.

Yes, all igus energy chain materials can be used for continuous operation down to -40°C.

Yes, you can find all energy chains made of the conductive ESD material here.

Yes, we recommend the TH3 energy chain, which has been specially developed for the food and beverage industry.

Yes, with igus plastic energy chains it is possible to save up to 57% and with chainflex cables up to 17%. Tech up now and improve energy efficiency.

With our redictive maintenance, you are shown the optimum maintenance time in real time at all times, depending on the actual movement profile and the current status of your energy supply.
