Dynamic loads caused by, e.g. vibrations and environmental impacts are major challenges in e-chain systems, among others in drilling rigs. The "heavy duty" energy chains from igus are exceptionally suitable for energy supply in such applications, which are very convincing under the extreme conditions compared to steel chains.

In order to safely guide cables in hanging applications, igus has developed the modular e-loop energy chain system - perfectly suited for 3-dimensional applications. The e-loop combines the advantages of a plastic energy chain® with those of a high-strength tension rope. Inside the chain, the rope transfers the pull force to the mounting brackets and the structure. The cables are thus kept completely relieved of strain. The modular energy chain® made of high-performance plastic always enforces a defined bend radius and easily copes with vibration and impacts. It is also a modular system that is openable and can be closed as needed. All parts are individually replaceable. Easy maintenance.
