134 Bi Ba hi ha ≤ ø mm Hydraulics and electric cables are separated from one another in this example Rules for: ● Maximum conduit diameters ● Separation ● Bend radius Electrical cables need at least 10%clearance space all around, hydraulic hoses need 20% The maximum conduit diameter is specified for each series on its respective chapter General rules for igus ® cables and hoses in e-chains ® The key advantage of igus ® e-chain systems ® is they can safely accommodate a wide variety of forms of data cables and energy suppliers in one system. You gave options of how to separate the different medias. For example, maintain minimum distances between bus and motor cables. You canmix pneumatics, electrical cables and hydraulics in the same compartments. In addition to the quality of the cables used, the arrangement of each cable within the e-chain ® and the space allowed are important for the system's service life. Various separation options allow e-chains ® to be adapted to the specific requirements of each application. This section provides detailed recommendations. Due to the variety of the application parameters, we strongly recommend you take advantage of our free consultation services. Simply give us a list of your cable requirements (or merely the required electrical or other services) and you will receive our recommendation by the end of the next business day. Maximum cable or hose diameter The maximum cable and/or hose diameter equals the inner height of the selected e-chains ® and e-tubes plus minimumclearance. This minimumclearance is 10% for electrical round cables and 20% for hydraulic hoses, for example. An e-chain ® is ideally filled if minimum lateral clearance to the next cable or hose has been factored in. Depending on the nature of the cables, the dynamics, and the expected service life, more clearance may be required. In specific cases, filling may be designed with less clearance. Please contact us.

Separators are used for this. Cables and hoses must under no circumstances have the opportunity to tangle. Therefore, the clearance height of a compartment with several similar cables or hosesnexttooneanothermustnotbemorethan one and a half times the cable/hose diameter.
