For long travels 10 years experiencerol e-chain® – Special solution for long travels Higher fill weights with rol-e extension links
On more than 1.000 cranes with more than 10 years market experience
The optimal solution for high additional load Low maintenance Strong reduction of the driving force
required for moving the energy chain® to below 25 %
Travels up to 800 m possible Possible speeds of up to 600 m/min Different types of rollers for optimum results
in different situations Even rolling resistance for dirty applications System guarantee for made-to-specifications
system (depends on application)
Traditional energy chains® operating over long distances generally “gliding”. rol e-chain® has been developed with the aim of pushing back the technical limits of this kind of operation. The demands placed on energy chains® used over long distances have continuously increased in recent years. Travel over several hundred meters sets new challenges, as do extreme Crane movement speeds at cable loads of up to 50 kg/m.
441 m – one of the longest travels of igus®.Travels up to 800 m possible
Safe operation with igus® rol e-chain® Test rig for lifetime test
rol e-chain® – Rolling instead of glidinge-chains® are being used in ever longer travels. This has driven the development of the rol e-chain®. Additionally, movement speeds are increasing in combination with larger and larger fill weights (up to 50 kg/m).
Major reduction in drive power to less than 25 % for moving the e-chain®
Travels up to 800 m possible Speeds up to 6 m/s possible Various roller types for optimum application adaption Can be used even in dirty environments Available as ready-to-fit, made-to-specifications system System guarantee for made-to-specifications systems

For long travels Reduce drive powerrol e-chain® – Special solution for long travels New: E4.1 rol e-chain® for moving energy chains®
The Heavy Duty chain family was developed in view of the followingapplication areas:
High cable loads High speeds Long travel lengths Strong dirt loads
The improved E4/4 Heavy Duty takes cable carrier stability to new levels.Strength and cycle life are improved by significabtly increased gliding and load bearing sur-faces. E4/4 Heavy Duty takes higher push/pull forces, at the same inner dimensions as regular E4/4 series.
Supplied from stock for the HD series: Roller glide for the reduction of the tensile/shear forces Extension link for large widths and for raising the load capacity Separators for the adaptation of the interior separation in the cable layout Mounting brackets for the fastening of the chain at fixed and moving ends
Now even the longest travels can be realized using energy efficiency with E4.1. The new system runs very smoothly due to an equal pitch of the roller and standard chain links. The e-chain® runs very smoothly, signifi-cantly contributing to a silent operation. Built-in „ramps“ provide for a more silent run of the rollers when they run over each other. Now many additional applications can be solved with the huge E4.1 modular kit.
Energy-efficient, reduce drive power by up to 75% Same pitch of the roller and standard chain links as well as “ramps“ Smooth movement of the rolls one upon the other Max. speeds: 5 m/s Cable-friendly interior separator program from the E4.1 system can be used Immense line of accessories from the E4.1 modular kit

guide troughs Super Alu troughSafe guide for e-chains® on long travels A light version of long travel guides in aluminium
igus® Guide TroughsGuide troughs are used for long travels from 5 to 10 m and more, depending on the chain type.They allow igus® energy chains® and energy tubes to continuesmooth, low-friction operation in these long-travel situations.
If the energy chains®/tubes are installed in the centre of the travel (“cen-tre-mounted”), they glide on themselves for half the travel. For the other half, we recommend glide bars, which are assembled in the trough and on which the energy chains®/tubes glide. igus® guide troughs are available from stock with these highly abrasion-resistant polymer glide bars, which perform well with igus® energy chains® and Tubes regar-ding noise, abrasion and friction.
Type of Troughigus® provides guide troughs made of Aluminum (seawater resistant according to EN6060) Stainless steel (1.4301 + 1.4571) Steel (zinc plated)
Troughs assemblingIf the igus® installation sets are used, the guide troughs are particu-larly easy to assemble. All the troughs are constructed according to the same basic principle. All sizes use a common C-profile on which the guide parts are assembled. The assembly brackets used vary in height only.
For heavy applications: HD-Installation set for joint and attachmentsurface connections secure connection without misalignmentand without welding
Fixed end module for steel troughsUntil now, the steel trough had to be modified on site to fit themounting brackets at the stationary end of the e-chain®. That isnow history. With its prefabricated boreholes, the 2.000 mm longkit can be used for middle-feed, end-feed and opposed installation.
