"What should you consider when selecting e-chain® from a maintenance perspective?"
10 tips for a "maintenance-friendly" energy chain
This short guide provides numerous practical tips and tricks on what this means in concrete terms and what design engineers should consider.

Finally also for multi-axis & industrial robots ...
... i.Sense TR.B for intelligent breakage monitoring
Robots have long been an integral part of many areas of industrial production - whether welding, painting, soldering or palletising: Industrial robots work dynamically. A flexible multi-axis energy chain such as the triflex® R from igus® makes it possible to guide robot cables safely. In order to recognise potential chain breakages caused by the extreme load in good time and avoid unplanned machine downtime, igus® has developed i.Sense TR.B, the world's first breakage monitoring system for multi-axis energy chains.
P4.1 Roller chain
- Longer service life thanks to maintenance-free tribopolymer plain bearings in the connection of the chain links
- For maximum stress and service life
- Travel distances of over 800 m at speeds of more than 5 m/s
- Always know how the chain is doing thanks to smart plastic
E4 chain series for the high load range
- sliding, unsupported, suspended use
- For robust, demanding applications
- inner height from 21 to 350mm
- Each chain link consists of 4 individual parts
- Can be opened in the inner and outer radius
E2 chains for the medium load range
- Internal heights: 26 to 48 mm
- Available in two versions:
- Hinged on both sides in the outer radius
- Hinged on both sides in the inner radius
- Improved weight and dimension ratio compared to the previous series
- Up to 55% faster to install than predecessors
3D CAD portal for smart plastics
Designing intelligent energy chain systems faster. CAD models for all smart components.
Our intelligent e-chain systems are already being used reliably in many hundreds of thousands of applications worldwide - from beverage vending machines and CNC machines to steelworks. Unsupported lengths can be bridged with ease and long travel distances are conceivable for a wide range of industries.

Smart solutions with chainflex® cable
No additional module is required for condition monitoring (i.Sense) using chainflex® cable.
The system can be operated without additional software during integration and networking.
In these cases, chainflex® cable takes over 3 possibilities of condition monitoring.
- Tensile and shear force measurement via the cable (CF.P)
- Measurement of the electrical specification of a cable (CF.Q)
- Measurement of the transmission quality (CF.D)
