The Y and Z axes have a travel of 8,000mm and 1,750mm at a speed of 25 meters per minute More information X www.igus.eu Side-mounted e-chains ® are strongly recommended if the installation height is restricted Standard values for side- mounted unsupported lengths are available upon request. The unsupported lengths can be extended by supporting the links next to the mounting brackets System E4.1 - side-mounted unsupported System E2/000 - side-mounted unsupported We recommend locking mounting brackets for side-mounted applications Side-mounted | Application Unsupported - side-mounted igus ® e-chains ® placed on their side can be used unsupported to a limited extent. The turned unsupported length in this case is dependent on the following factors: ● Time ● Fill weight ● Width of the e-chain ® ● Bend radius ● Parallelism of the application The greater the fill weight of the e-chain ® , the shorter the available unsupported length. When placed on its side, the e-chain ® width, in e ff ect, becomes the height. As this height increases, the e-chain system ® becomes proportionally more stable. If further movement in a second axis is added to the parallel motion of two e-chains ® , the unsupported length is impaired. For applications with low fill weight, the standard mounting brackets are adequate. If, however, the fill weight is high and the travels are long, the e-chain ® must then be supported either in whole or in part. Due to the variety of application possibilities, we strongly recommend that you make use of our consulting services.
