It may not seem like an obvious comparison; a beam and an energy chain but fundamentally they are one of the same. Read all about why the two are compared and where the common ground lies.
Ensuring the cables supplying energy in the energy chain systems in paramount. This is where the Microflizz system is ideal. This fully encased system protects the cables and gives them a longer service life.
Long travel distances place high demands on the cable used and its durability. In today’s post, we cover what these are and how we can find out whether our management meets these requirements.
Durability, line structure, inner composition, and suitability are crucial points to take into account when selecting the right cable for your application.
Protecting the bearing and shaft to ensure a longer life is a game changer. With the introduction of the felt seal, igus® have created such a product which can be used in dirty environments and will still manage to protect both the bearing and the shaft!
