Tips for the correct use of guide troughs

guide troughs are used for long travel distances, from 5 - 12 m depending on the chain type. They support the smooth, low-friction running of the igus® energy chain and energy tubes. If the feed point is located in the centre of the travel path, the energy chains glide on themselves on one half of the travel path.
half of the travel on itself. For the other half, we recommend glide bars mounted in the trough, on which the energy chains glide. guide troughs have glide bars made of highly abrasion-resistant plastic.
