Known as the umbilical cord of modern machines \u2013 energy chains ensure the supply of energy, data and signals while in constant motion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For nearly 40 years, igus has been developing, producing and testing plastic energy chains during which the expertise accumulated is being continuously refined and directly incorporated in new products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, millions of igus e-chains<\/a><\/strong> are in use in applications around the world \u2013 from beverage dispensers to welding robots. They have a modular design and are therefore easy to assemble.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only resistant to various media and designed for very small bend radii, e-chains are ideal for confined installation spaces as well as large, heavy and rigid cables and hoses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Configure complete energy supply systems for short or long travels as well as for hanging and rotating applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply choose cables for your interior separation, enter the application and environmental parameters of your application and the energy chain configurator e-chain expert will suggest suitable solutions for your energy supply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
