Option: You can design your application to be gliding. The following options are available if there is no possibility of self-supporting e-chain ® application: You can contact us directly or fax us your e-chain ® requests! We will respond immediately! Opening principle: The quick finder gives an overviewof the possibilities to fill the e-chain ® . Bend radius R: Determine the possible bend radius R [mm] of the e-chain ® with respect to the cable diameter. Additional criteria: ... for selection criteria such as pitch, permissible temperatures etc., please refer to our quick finder. If the application works self-supporting, then the selection follows the following criteria: Sizing e-chains ® Determine the size of the e-chain ® based on the specified installation space of your machine and/or of the selected filling (such as the number of cables/outer diameter of cable). Determine fill weight Determine the weight of the filling (cables and/or media hoses) in [kg/m] using the chainflex ® quick selection or the manufacturer's information. Determine length of travel Compare the fill weight calculated in (point ) to themaximumfill weight of the selected e-chain ® and check suitability for unsupported application. Unsupported length Themaximumunsupported length initially depends on the fill weight and the e-chain ® selected. At the same time, there are three di ff erent levels of unsupported length: recommended range of application: FL G Permitted sag: FL B Critical sag: should never be allowed! Twice the value of the unsupported length determines the maximum travel in the unsupported type of operation. For evaluation the weight of the cables to be carried must be known, then an exact evaluation can be made using a diagram on the introductory page of the selected product. You will find the values for FL G and FL B on the following pages in this chapter as an overview and within every individual series’ chapter. They are necessary for: ● Finding the fill weight and length of travel for the appropriate e-chain ® ● Identifying themaximum load of the e-chain ® used.
