Extender crossbar clips

for E2(i).26 / E2(i).38 / E2(i).48 / E4Q.64L / E4.64L
Individually adapt the energy chain to the hose diameter. Tool-free and easy to fit and replace hoses as required.

Energy chain series E2C.38

More space for hydraulics | strong and cost-effective
One-piece, cannot be opened, integrated brake. 20% more additional load and 25% more unsupported length (compared to the E2/000 series).

Accessories for the E2.1

Modular, flexible, simple and cost-effective
New mounting brackets for the E2.26 and E2.38, damper clip for the E2i.48, new crossbars E2.26F and E2.38F.

Magsnap for the E2i.15

Space-saving guidance without a trpugh
For vertically hanging applications where a guide trough is not possible for space reasons. Magnets hold the e-chain in the specified direction and "fix" it to the metal wall.

Energy chain E4Q.L

Strength with lightweight feature
Based on the successful E4Q, the first sizes of an L variant are now available.

New accessories for the e-chain E4Q series

Expansion of the E4Q modular system
Numerous new products for the E4Q series, from the new locking separator to TUB tabs and universal interior separation.

triflex TRE.85

Stronger connection with simplified assembly and disassembly
Newly adapted connection principle of the pin/bore connection for new possibilities in the field of multi-dimensional energy supply. The advantage: even higher tensile forces and simpler and faster assembly/disassembly.

Energy chain series YR.42

Strong, vibration-resistant and compact
50% stronger than pure plastic energy chains and 50% lighter than pure steel energy chains. No rivets, no screws. Now available as energy tubes

Energy chain series YR.56

Strong, vibration-resistant and compact
50% stronger than pure plastic energy chains and 50% lighter than pure steel energy chains. No rivets, no screws. Now available as energy tubes.

Energy chain series YE.28

The best mix of plastic and steel
Maximum stability: steel plates absorb the force of the fixed
stop-dogs of the plastic inner and outer links. Quick and easy assembly of the YE.28 thanks to the YE series' plug-in system. No screws or rivets are required for assembly.

Connecting element for the YEHD.108/YEHD.112

Precise chain lengths
Connecting elements for the YEHD.108 and YEHD.112 can now
also be ordered for an even number of links. Realise precise travel lengths. Cost down with chain lengths designed precisely for the application

Energy chain series C6

The series offering the highest cleanroom requirements is now available in three inner heights: 29, 38 and 53mm. Optimised with the crossbars every link design in the outer radius and as standard with crossbars plus interior separation made of iglidur J.

e-skin soft SKS28

More space for small rooms
Thanks to the specially developed polymer material igumer SKS, the e-skin soft fulfils the highest cleanroom class. Now available in 100mm width for the version with 28mm inner height. There are now 4 inner heights: 20mm, 24mm, 40mm and the inner height 28mm with 2 widths 68mm and 100mm.

e-skin flat

Maximum modularity in six sizes
By combining different single pod sizes, the e-skin flat allows you to utilise the smallest installation spaces effectively. Three additional variants for further flexibility: size SKF10 in open and closed plus the SKF15 now also in open.

e-skin flat layer holder

Straight run guaranteed
The layer holder guides several layers of e-skin flat straight in the track, even with very long unsupported lengths. The e-skin flat layers remain on top of each other and can utilise the unsupported properties of the e-skin flat with support chain, even if they are not installed in every layer.

Mounting bracket for e-skin flat single pods

Securely fasten individual pods
Single pods from the e-skin flat system can now also be easily fastened and strain-relieved. This means that individual cables can be routed separately from each other in a pod after the movement, or individual pods can be used to organise a string of cables for the smallest movements.

e-skin soft ESD

ESD protection for ISO 1 cleanrooms
Proven e-skin soft now made of dissipative material. This prevents the formation of electrostatic fields and the abrupt discharge caused by the movement of the black e-skin soft due to the material. The e-skin soft ESD is suitable for the highest cleanroom class with a small installation space.

e-skin ring interior separation SK24.3.H.5

Minimise cable abrasion
The ring interior separation enables clean distribution of the cables and hoses with minimum abrasion, as it is made of the tribo-optimised plastic iglidur J. This has proven itself in numerous tests and applications as the best gliding partner for any cable jacket or hose material.

Reinforced mounting bracket for the e-skin soft 20

Connect more flexibly
Larger, reinforced mounting bracket as an extension to the accessory options for the smallest e-skin soft. Can be integrated very flexibly thanks to the additional bushings in front of the head.

Clean SCARA cable solution

Cleanroom-compatible for high-speed SCARA applications
Based on the certified cleanroom clean SCARA cable solution size SKS20, a solution with the next larger e-skin, the SKS24, has now also been built. The swivelling connections enable use up to ISO class 2 (IPA-certified, in size SKS20).

e-tract 3.0 cable retraction system

Compact system, easy to integrate
The e-tract for the charging stations, reduced to the retraction unit only. With mounting holes for easy integration into housings and charging stations.

e-tract DC

Optimum protection for charging cables
Cable retraction system for neat cable management at the quick-charging station.

e-spool 4.0

Route more load faster in the tightest of spaces
Route many different cables in the tightest of spaces, now for 100% more additional load at higher speeds. Different media and diameters routed in one system.

e-spool flex light 2.0

For particularly favourable integration | maximised to the minimum
The igus version of a cable reel without slip ring, for cable diameters from 5mm to 15mm. Intended for integration into existing customer structures.

Multicable e-spool

Two cables, no slip ring
With the new multicable e-spool, up to two cables can be unwound 7 metres without a slip ring. Compact, space-saving, lightweight. Available in two sizes: for 2m and 7m pull-out length.

guidelok swing - adhesive version

Compact solution, super-fast installation
The compact solution for cable guidance on slewing jib cranes with a travel of up to 10 metres.
