Energy chain design reduces cable wear
"Auto-glide" bridges made of tribologically optimised plastic that go easy on cables and a special groove system provide a safe guide for the P4 energy chain.
Energy chains find novel applications
The European Vector Award competition showcases three novel applications of Igus energy chains.
The DryLin bearing liners are manufactured from the Iglidur J material as standard, this is the same material which is used throughout the DryLin bearing range.
Laboratory tests have shown that the best friction and wear characteristics are given when using Iglidur J with hard anodised aluminium shafts.
For this reason, the Igus AWM shafts are fitted as standard, but any other shaft material is an option, including the new range of carbon fibre shafts recently launched by Igus.
The trapezoidal leadscrew nut is manufactured in the Iglidur W300 material, and the leadscrew can be either steel, stainless steel, or hard anodised aluminium.
The quad block and shaft end supports are also manufactured from hard anodised aluminium, and the support bearings for the leadscrew are made from various Iglidur materials.
The end of the leadscrew can be machined to specific requirements.
DryLin linear bearings have been well proven in many so called difficult applications, no maintenance is ever required, dirt and dust present no problems at all.
The use of Igus polymer bearings throughout offer significant cost savings when compared with traditional ball bearing systems, and the life of the DryLin linear module can be calculated exactly for each and every application. Request a free brochure from Igus UK ...
