IGUS | energy chains

127 Zig-zag design The modular design of igus ® e-chains ® facilitates this space-saving and unconventional solution. For modern platform technology, such as theatre stages, a variety of cables and hoses which adjust the stage height must be accommodated. Lack of space almost invariably presents di ffi culties. The picture shows an e-chain ® in a zig-zag configuration. The unextended e-chain ® is stored in a basket. If the platform is raised, the e-chain ® unfolds, generating little or no noise. This construction is possible with the e-chains ® of the E4.1 system as well as many other types. Please consult igus ® for these kinds of applications. We recommend pivoting mounting brackets for zig- zag applications Zig-zag | liftband | Application Zig-zag application: de-commissioning of a nuclear power station. About 14 m high steel containers are milled into small swarf for disposal Space-saving installation - travel heights of more than 20m possible Special solution for vertical motion: liftband - guide up to a height of 13m with limited installation space ● For high vertical applications that have plenty of space horizontally but allow only for little system height ● Modular, silent, space-saving; vertical guidance for energy, data and media ● Max. extension length: 13m ● Available in 2 sizes ● Alternative to zig-zag solution, but lighter and smaller installation space ● Vertical applications implemented with ease More information X from page 1146 3DCAD, configurators, service life calculation andmore X www.igus.eu Technical data - zig-zag Max. travel 40m More upon request v max 0.4m/s Depending on the application, please checkwith igus ® a max 1.0m/s 2 Depending on the application, please checkwith igus ®
