Zig-zag design
The modular design igus® e-chains® facilitates this space-saving and unconventional solution. Due the
wide variety combinations involving fill weights,
stroke heights, e-chain® types and bend radii,

Standing applications are standard many

Mounting brackets
The mounting brackets must attached so
that the e-chain® cannot bow outwards.
Lateral acceleration
If lateral acceleration occurs, the e-chain®
should, most cases, supported along the
outer radius.
For modern platform technology, such theatre stages, variety cables and hoses which
adjust the stage height must accommodated. Lack space almost invariably presents
difficulties.
