Quiet and reliable cable carrying for distances up to 800m
The low maintenance, modular P4 roller Energy Chain from igus allows a reliable energy supply system to be implemented on long travel distances up to 800 m.
>In comparison to conventional roller energy supply systems, where the top and bottom rollers run over each other, the igus P4 roller Energy Chain upper rollers run through the offset lower rollers - this innovative design technique ensures that there are no bumps, which would lead to noise and vibration.
>The combination of the comb-like AUTO-GLIDE crossbars and the special trough system, reliably guide the igus P4 Energy Chain over long travels where speeds can reach up to 10 m/s and fill weights of up to 30 kg/m. Typical applications are found on cranes, plant equipment, materials handling technology and mining.
