YE Introduction Advantages
Combine the
best properties
of steel and
plastic YE
hybrid e-chain®
Maximum strength:
steel inner plates absorb
the force the fixed plastic
outer link stop-dogs
50% longer
unsupported length
with more compact
dimensions than a
comparable plastic e-chain®
Fast filling:
plastic crossbars
removable along the
inner and outer radius
Tough:
steel mounting brackets
with attachment options
from any side
Smooth running:
very smooth operation
due plastic pin
connections
Fast assembly:
plastic outer links with
flange for easy assembly
of e-chain® links
50% less weight:
than pure steel chain of
comparable size, thanks
to plastic outer links
3D CAD, configurators, service life calculation and more www. Here, inspection and dimensioning via the igus® design required advance.774 775

50% stronger than pure plastic energy chains*
and 50% lighter than pure steel energy chains*. Ready ship 72hrs. Energy chain links
openable quickly, for easy cable replacement.
No rivets, screws.
● High tensile strength
● Noscrews,rivetsorboltswhichcanbecome
loose under vibration
● Easy installation plastic outer links with
flange for easy e-chain® link assembly
● Available ready-to-install readychain®
system with cables, hoses and hydraulic
components
● Smooth operation due plastic pin
connection
● Wide range interior separation elements
● 30% less energy consumption production
compared steel chain
*Compared plastic steel energy chains comparable sizes
Typical industries and applications
● Cherry pickers Construction equipment
