E4.1R rol-e energy chain

Noise and vibration reduced, whereby less drive energy is needed

The standard modular system of the E4.1 energy chain series has been expanded to include new roller chain links. This makes it particularly easy for users to switch from sliding energy chain systems to rolling ones - the roller chain links are fully compatible with the entire modular system of the E4.1 series. For example, gantries in the machine tool industry can be easily converted to withstand higher dynamics and at the same time save up to 57 per cent drive energy.

Typical areas of application:
Cranes, coal conveyors, etc., where the additional load is not so high that HD roller chains are required.

Tech up

Easy changeover from gliding to rolling e-chain®
A rol e-chain link suitable for all radii of the standard series
Ideal for long travels
Quiet operation due to equal pitch of the e-chain® links

Cost down

Adapter link not necessary
Retrofit possible, fast assembly
Increases the service life of the e-chain®
Smaller minimum bend radii possible, thus possibly the cable length, installation space and steel construction are reduced
Reduce drive power by 37%
predictive maintenance - optionally with the isense add-on module

Proof

Already tested several times in the igus® laboratory
More resilient: 25% more push/pull forces possible<br />(E4.56 vs. 4040C)

Sustainability

Resource conservation: conversion instead of replacement
Save drive power and thus energy
At the end of its life cycle, leave your energy or drag chain in the igus® chainge Recycling Programme utilise. Irrespective of the manufacturer. <br />You will receive a voucher.

Why e-chain roles®...

Roller e-chain® are safe, space-saving and very low-maintenance. Cable lengths can be reduced by up to 50 % (compared to festoon systems).

Roll instead of glide and save up to 37 % drive power. For high speeds of up to 10 m/s and longest distances of up to 500 m.

Modular system of the E4.1 energy chain series for long travel distances

Series E4.1
Standard energy chain E4.1 for almost all applications. Stable, long service life and cost-effective.

To E4.1 series

Series E4.1R as extension set

The roller chain set turns the E4.56 or E4.42 into a roller chain. The result: The service life is extended.

Optional element: Sliding shoes
Friction- and wear-optimised sliding elements and rollers e-chain® extend the service life of energy chains in sliding operation.
