Profile

  • What was needed: Roller energy chain type 5050RHD, chainflex® cable, iSense module for condition monitoring of the energy chain
  • Requirements: The previously used cable drum was maintenance-intensive and the exposed high-voltage cable was damaged. The increase in cable diameters led to more weight, sagging cables and high wear and tear, and even to downtimes of the cable routing. The operator was therefore looking for a maintenance-friendly and safe alternative.
  • Industry: bulk handling
  • Success for the customer: The combination of energy chain, cable and sensor technology led to increased system availability, durability and safety during operation. The plastic energy chain saves weight, simplifies cable routing and saves the operator high maintenance effort and costs.
