E4/light – lightweight and cost-effective

Weight reduction, a larger interior space and a reduced price. The characteristics of the E4/light system: thinner side links (for all series) and a thinner crossbar (for some series: 14240, 14340). E4/light e-chains® offer an optimum price/performance ratio for many applications. Especially for short travels, hanging and small standing applications. E4/light types are often first choice.
 
Typical industries and applications
Machine tools, conveyor technology, material handling equipment, stone-cutting machines, woodworking machines, vehicles, construction machinery, limited application for long travels, general mechanical engineering, etc.
