5mm thick steel inner plates have recesses for the stop-dogs the igumid G
outer links. The undercut
design the stop-dogs lock the steel links under load. Due rotation around the plastic pins, the e-chain® is
very smooth operation. 2. The system designed such way that when loaded, force exerted
on the fixed stops from both sides through the steel links.
This increases the flexibility and quick availability various bending radii.776 777
