Zig-zag design
The modular design igus® e-chains® facilitates this space-saving and unconventional solution. Cables will guided safely
in vertical strokes. Locking KMA mounting brackets
are highly recommended because they can be
attached flush the machine.
Mounting brackets
The mounting brackets must attached so
that the e-chain® cannot bow outwards. stroke height with support the first e-chain® links 6m

generally recommended that least the first

Lateral acceleration
If lateral acceleration occurs, the e-chain®
should, most cases, supported along the
outer radius.igus. Lack space almost invariably presents
difficulties.
This construction possible with the e-chains® the E4.
Please consult igus® for these kinds applications.
Combined motion
Combined vertical and horizontal movements are
possible with igus® e-chains® for cost-saving
solution. Cables must have strain
relief both ends. For precise guidance the cables and
hoses, strongly recommend igus® interior
