e-chain

Why do we need energy chains in engineering applications?

The role of an energy chain is a lot more complex than a lot of people think. These cable carriers not only protect the cables, preventing disastrous potential breakdowns they also allow movement to continue being smooth running. We have re designed the main product information page for the energy chain so pop on and have a look!

Automating warehouses; can igus® technology improve your processes?

Automation is the future. It is not something that we can escape and we need to accept this and adapt to ensure this is bought into the work place in the most effective way. igus® has simple products in place to help with automation and none more so than the autoglide-5 and the guidelite ECO. These simple products can help automate warehouses quickly and cost-effectively.

e-skin®: openable solutions for cleanrooms

Cleanrooms need to be 100% contamination free and with the help of igus® energy chains this can be the case. These energy chains ensure that no dirt can interfere with the running of highly sensitive equipment.

igus® E4.350 energy chain vs steel drag chain

Preconceptions are difficult to change but people are slowly realising that by changing from metal products to polymer products can not only save them money but can also save time and offer a longer life.

The igus® guidefast system; secure cable guidance for indoor cranes

igus® have a large range of energy chains that are suited to various applications. The crane industry is no exception and due to space and height restrictions, it is imperative that the correct system is installed. The guidefast system is compact, easy installed and cost-effective.

Compact energy chain systems for indoor cranes

Every installation could present a challenge. Whether it be height restrictions, weight limitations or tight space parameters. igus® have a range of specialised energy chain systems designed for such challenges.

e-spool® – the alternative to a cable drum

Having to work with small installation space can be a challenge but with the igus® e-spool system space limitations is not a problem. This system comes as a motorised option and can be fully equipped with igus® cables.
