Minimise noise levels with igus® e-chain system®
The igus® program offers you noise-optimised e-chains®. The table below shows the differences between the various e-chain® types in terms of noise development. In addition to the e-chain® , the running surface, the dynamics and the filling also play a role. Let our specialists design the quietest e-chain system® for your application.
System T3 ≤ 33 dB(A)
When developing the 3-part, T-shaped belt chain "T3", the main focus was on quiet running. The T3 belt chain is particularly flexible and runs"" smoothly thanks to the special geometry of the side bands. In the igus® laboratory, a value of only 33 dB(A) was measured at 1.0 m/s for the T3.29.050.038.0 series with unsupported length, with a sound level caused by external noise.
System E3 - quiet, 38 dB(A)
Long-term tests in the acoustic laboratory at igus® showed a reduction of 19-20 db(A) compared to conventional e-chain® , measured at a speed of 1.8 m/s and an acceleration of 3 m/s2. This value was determined in the igus®laboratory for the E3.22.060.044.0 series in accordance with DIN 45635, taking background noise into account.
System E6 ≤ 46 dB(A)
*A measurement by TÜV Rheinland in May 2002 resulted in a value of ≤ 46 dB(A) at 2 m/s and a cantilever length of 1.5 m with the E6.52.10.100.0 series, with a sound pressure level caused by external noise of at least 10 dB(A).
System E4 - 46 dB(A)
A measurement by TÜV Rheinland for the system E4/101, series 221.10.200.0 resulted in a value of 46 dB(A) at 1.5 m/s with unsupported length.
A reduction of 3 dB(A) sounds like a 50% noise reduction to the human ear
