A large number of different materials can be selected, so that the right bearing and guide ring material exists for every shaft material - both soft and hardened. The iglidur materials are extensively analysed in the test laboratory. Based on the test results, their service life can then be calculated using the free igus online tools.
Energy chains and chainflex cables are also used in two-way vehicles with aerial work platforms or cranes, as both are characterised by their enormous load-bearing capacity. E-chains from igus are also subjected to extensive testing. This ensures that they are durable and stable even when exposed to weather, vibration, shocks and frequent loads. On top of this, their material and structure help to reduce weight. If the e-chains are also fitted with the fail-safe chainflex cables, the durability of the application is even greater. These cables are specially developed for heavy-duty use, withstand the smallest bending radii and torsional movements and come with a 4-year guarantee. The chainflex cables are also weather-resistant and can withstand heat and cold despite constant use.
