Are energy chains chemically resistant?A
detailed list provides information on the resistance of igus' igumid G, TE, and NB materials to many chemical substances.
Are plastic energy chains resistant to hot swarf?Yes, plastic energy chains that use the
igumid HT material can resist swarf as hot as +850°C.
Can I also implement a long travel without a guide trough?Yes, with the
autoglide system, you can achieve travels of up to 80m without guide troughs.
Can igus energy chains be used in the refrigeration sector?Yes, all igus energy chain materials can be used for continuous use down to -40°C.
Which energy chain is suitable for ESD use?Yes, all
energy chains made of the conductive ESD material can be found here.
Are there energy chains with FDA approval?Yes, we recommend the
TH3 energy chain, which has been specifically developed for the food and beverage industry.
Can you save energy with plastic energy chains and chainflex cables?Yes, it is possible to save up to 57% with igus
plastic energy chains and up to 17% with
chainflex cables. Tech up now and improve energy efficiency.
How can I determine the optimal maintenance intervals for my energy supply?With our
i.Cee system for predictive maintenance, you are always shown the optimum time for maintenance in real time, depending on the real movement profile and the current status of your energy supply system.
