design the stop-dogs lock the steel links under load. The system designed such way that when loaded, force exerted
on the fixed stops from both sides through the steel links.igus.eu/YE CAD, configurators, service life calculation and more www. This allows higher load on

Plastic outer links
The plastic outer links the system are made glass fibre reinforced igumid Large
pins result high tensile force.
Almost 50% less weight than a
pure steel chain comparable
size, thanks plastic outer links
Significantly lower assembly
costs e-chain® links can
be assembled individually
High ease movement due
to plastic pin connections,
high tensile force absorption
50% longer unsupported
length than comparable

Strong notched crossbars
with visible scale and double
locking mechanism
No screws, rivets or
bolts which can become
loose under vibration
. single outer link necessary for the entire product range. Due rotation around the plastic pins, the e-chain® is
very smooth operation.igus.
