1170 More information www.igus.eu/guidelok-HR guidelok horizontal | Introduction | Advantages Upper run support: intelligent upper run guide with pivoting roller brackets Openable and swarf-resistant: E4 e-tubes are enclosed and easy to fill Upper run guide for long travels, unsupported in swarf areas - guidelok horizontal Especially for long travels on machine tools, when the e-chain ® would normally need to glide but metallic swarf is a problem. guidelok horizontal is a cost-e ff ective solution. ● Unsupported travel lengths up to 50m are possible ● Swarf cannot get stuck between upper and lower run ● Modular system with few parts (also possible without lateral trough) ● Enormous increase of unsupported lengths for e-chains ® ● Lower push/pull forces (smaller e-chains ® , unsupported and rollers = energy-e ffi cient) ● Lower cost than most steel chains or gliding systems ● Open guide trough design, swarf can fall through Typical industries and applications ● Machine tools ● Heavy swarf environments ● Wherever a gliding application is not advisable Swarf-proof: minimise wear by unsupported operation Safe guidance: trough channel for guiding the lower run
