Support trays for energy chains

For safe and maintenance-free operation in unsupported energy chain applications

Uneven surfaces, high dynamic stresses or noise-sensitive environments – support trays help to keep energy chains moving smoothly and safely. Selection is dependent on conditions of use. In addition to versions made of galvanised steel, we now offer a light option made of anodised aluminium.
Steel support tray 1. Noise-reducing, low abrasion, reliable guidance
2. Simple design: easy mounting to all types of profiles and wall brackets
3. Lightweight material: available in the colour of your choice
4. Available in two types and four versions as a modular system
Aluminium support tray 1. Reduces noise: rubber silencer profile (optional)
2. Simple energy chain connection: optimised plastic fixed end module
3. Reduces wear: glide strips provide protection from lateral abrasion
4. Simple installation: with standard basic version bottom clamps
5. Corrosion-resistant: seawater-resistant aluminium profile

I use the one-piece steel support tray if

  • the design is to be simple
  • easy fixing to floor profiles and wall brackets is intended
  • colours and dimensions are especially important
  • the trough is to be made of steel
  • the lower chain run is to be secured against lateral displacement when there is lateral acceleration

I use the modular aluminium support tray if

  • the focus is on modularity and adaptability
  • widths must be adjusted to a certain extent after installation
  • the trough is open and therefore exposed to swarf and dirt (optionally with base)
  • quiet operation and low noise emissions are important
  • the energy chain requires special protection from wear
  • the energy chain must be quickly connected and fixed in place
  • the trough is to be made of seawater-resistant aluminium
  • the lower chain run is to be secured against lateral displacement when there is lateral acceleration
