126 More information X www.igus.eu Vertical standing | Application Vertical standing applications Standing applications are standard on many machines and plants. Cables will be guided safely in vertical strokes. Mounting brackets The mounting brackets must be attached so that the e-chain ® cannot bow outwards. The igus ® product range o ff ers locking or one-sided, locking mounting brackets for almost all types of e-chains ® . Locking KMA mounting brackets are highly recommended because they can be attached flush to the machine. Cables and hoses Cables and hoses must be laid in the e-chain ® so that they can bend freely and bear their own weight. For precise guidance of the cables and hoses, we strongly recommend igus ® interior separation elements. Cables must have strain relief at both ends. Lateral acceleration If lateral acceleration occurs, the e-chain ® should, in most cases, be supported along the outer radius. For higher e-chain ® heights, it is generally recommended that at least the first three links on the outer radius be supported. For maximum heights and weights, the whole distance must often be supported. Due to the wide variety of combinations involving fill weights, stroke heights, e-chain ® types and bend radii, we strongly recommend you make use of our consulting services. Combined motion Combined vertical and horizontal movements are possible with igus ® e-chains ® for a cost-saving solution. Locking igus ® KMA mounting brackets with flush mounting U-shaped supported igus ® e-tube for high lateral acceleration Options for a standing application with support of the first e-chain ® links: on the right, with U-shaped guidance - on the left, with the support of the first e-chain ® links Standing e-chain systems ® can reach very different points We recommend locking mounting brackets for vertical standing applications Technical data - vertical standing applications Maximum stroke height - without support ≈ 4m Max. stroke height - with support of the first e-chain ® links ≈ 6m Max. stroke height - with full support ≈ 20m v max (depending on stroke height and fill weight) 20m/s a max (depending on stroke height and fill weight) 50m/s 2
