Mounting brackets for energy chains
Mounting brackets are components that are attached to the end points (moving end and fixed end) of the energy chain. They are used to securely fasten the energy chain and fix the cables inside. They also ensure safe and efficient operation of the energy chain in a wide range of applications.
Different versions of mounting brackets
Depending on the application and requirements, you need different versions of mounting brackets. These three models can be used to securely fasten and guide cables in a wide range of applications.

Choosing the right mounting bracket
Choosing the right mounting bracket for energy chains is crucial for them and the cables they guide to work optimally and achieve the longest service life. To select the right mounting bracket, various factors such as the type of application, load and ambient conditions, size and type of energy chain should be taken into account:
Type of application
The pivoting mounting bracket compensates for the sag of the energy chain caused by the pretension. As a result, it is easy to install and no additional torques or forces are transferred to the energy chain via the mounting bracket.
are used for vertical standing and hanging applications. Here, a locking connection is created between the first chain link and the mounting bracket, which prevents the energy chain from swinging out. An additional screw connection is also possible for applications subject to heavy loads.
Rotary and winding movements are usually eliminated at the moving end with pivoting mounting brackets. The same applies to the fixed end, but here the installation type and position must also be taken into account.
Load and ambient conditions
For high mechanical loads or applications with special environmental influences (extreme temperatures, chemicals or humidity), robust steel mounting brackets, also available as stainless-steel versions, can be used.
Size and type of the energy chain
To ensure an optimum connection, the size and type of energy chain should be taken into account. Take a look at the suitable accessories on the relevant product page. Whether you end up deciding in favour of the one-piece version or the plastic-metal mounting bracket is up to you. We will be happy to assist you with your choice.
