Energy chains are the most modular way of safely transferring energy, data, fluids and air. Whether horizontally, vertically along all axes or in a circle. igus energy chains fulfil this requirement completely. Various systems for rotary and spiral movements can be selected, and properties such as modularity and versatility and a high degree of stability ensure dependability.
The slip ring-free alternative:
As our energy chain systems do not have slip rings, media such as air, oil or water can easily be transferred without any interruption.
Rotation angle up to 360° with plastic guide trough. Suitable for smaller measuring and handling machines.
Rotation angle up to 360° for fast-rotating applications. Suitable for machine tool manufacturing, excavators or rotary cranes.
Rotation angle up to 540°, strong, high fill weights Suitable for robots, handling machines, packaging machines etc.
Rotation angle up to 540° for fast-rotating applications. Suitable for offshore applications, stackers & reclaimers, excavators or slewing cranes.
Rotation angle up to 540° without slip ring, space-saving. Suitable for theatre, stage and lighting technology as well as telescope applications.
Rotation angle up to 900° for fast-rotating applications. Suitable for offshore applications, stackers & reclaimers, excavators or slewing cranes.
Rotation angle up to 7,000° in the smallest installation spaces. Suitable for robots, machine tools, cable drums, radar telescopic equipment etc.
Rotation angle up to 7,000° in the smallest installation spaces. Suitable for robots, machine tools, cable drums, radar telescopic equipment etc.
Rotation angle up to infinity. The PRT is made of tribologically optimised iglidur materials and therefore runs without lubrication during dry operation.

Energy chains for rotary movements from igus are used in various applications: twisterchain is popular in the field of robotics. twisterband is the perfect solution for rotary movements up to 7,200° in the smallest spaces.If more space is required for cables, we recommend using an RBR rotary energy supply system. e-spool is often used in theatre and stage technology applications.
Every year, 3,000 e-chain tests are performed in order to ensure that they can withstand the hardest of conditions.
