Tech up & cost down with igus® energy chain systems

energy chains from igus® are highly stable and durable, as they have proven in many applications under a wide range of conditions.

Our new energy chains are now even lighter than their predecessors. And a lighter energy chain means more payload and higher speeds.

energy chains are the most modular and probably the most compact form of energy supply, especially when energy, data, air and fluids have to be routed in one system.

Our e-chain® are particularly low-noise and low-vibration. At 32 dB(A) at 1 m/s, for example, they are quieter than a quiet residential street at night or a whisper.

Assembly time is a key factor when focussing on cost savings. Our openable energy chains are all easy to open by hand or screwdriver, no need to tighten screws. Ready-to-install readychain® systems also cut assembly times enormously and reduce production costs.

Intelligent energy supply from igus® helps to save thousands of euros in machine failure or downtime costs. How? By regularly or permanently recording the machine status. With our components, you can increase safety and machine efficiency while saving the costs of unnecessary maintenance.

"We have never had any problems with igus® as a supplier," concludes Maxwell Santos from Messer. The energy chains work without failures and without unplanned downtimes.

Our energy chains are already being used reliably in many hundreds of thousands of applications worldwide - from vending machines to steelworks. Over 400,000 customers worldwide from 50 industries rely on igus® energy chain.

"Less maintenance, higher availability, the possibility of running all the different cables and hoses in one system, the electronic tension/push force monitoring ... all these advantages have fully convinced us of igus®. I would use igus® energy chain again and again!"
