Save assembly time with the fastest to assemble e-chain®
... E4.1L ... Reduce assembly time ...
Fast harnessing saves time and money
igus® developed a new, innovative divider system for the E4.1L. This makes it particularly easy to insert shelves across several levels for needs-based interior separation. Visitors to the HMI were able to see for themselves how quick and easy it is to fill the new E4.1L. Of course, the new divider system is also being tested in the igus® laboratory:
Comparative test
igus® has compared its E4.48L plastic e-chain® with a competitor's product in a comparative test in the industry's largest test laboratory in Cologne. Both chains were assessed in terms of their load-bearing capacity at unsupported length, in a breakage test and their behaviour under tensile forces:

Load capacity with unsupported length
Test setup: Both chains are suspended unsupported over 1.8 m unsupported with an additional weight of 5kg/m.
Result: Compared to the neutral line, the competition chain sagged 6 mm more than the E4.48L.
Behaviour with tensile forces
Test setup: Both chains are clamped in a fixture in the test laboratory and tension is applied to both ends simultaneously.
Result: The E4.48L can withstand 86 % more tensile force than the competitor's chain.
Breaking test
Test set-up: In the breaking test, the unsupported chain is loaded from above. The additional load is increased until the chain breaks.
Result: The E4.48L can withstand 45% more additional load than the competitor's chain.
